First Month Success

I have been on MFP since September 4th. So far, I have lost a grand total of 12.3 pounds. Currently, I am at a stand-still on the scale -- which can be frustrating -- but, overall, the changes I see in myself go much further than just scale weight. So far, I am down 1 inch in my neck, 1 inch in my hips, 2.5 inches in my upper arms, and 5.5 inches in my waist. I am down to a size 24 from a size 28. I can exercise longer. I can walk (and even run) up stairs without gasping for air afterward. I am sleeping better. Overall... I just feel BETTER! People I only see once every few months are even seeing a difference in my size (mainly in my face size).

It can get frustrating when having to count EVERYTHING; but, it is well worth every minute of it. This is only a beginning. I now have my whole life ahead of me.
