Small success, but it feels great. I dropped 14 pounds pretty quick but have been hovering around 222 for about a month. HOWEVER, I lift three days a week and see much more definition in my arms, chest and shoulders and yesterday for the first time in years I actually had veins popping out while I worked out.......hehe
Couple that with some size I have lost off the waist and I'm not so worried about the scale at this point.

    I use that as a NSV too. Now it's gotten to the point that I can see veins in both arms even during the middle of the day with no workout in sight. It's not symmetrical. My left arm started showing first and now the right arm seems to have caught up.

    Awesome! Adding this to my goals. I still can't help but get on the scale every day, but I really don't worry about it. Saturday is my weigh in and I have a set of calipers and a tape on the way. Going to start taking weekly or bi-weekly measurements with those.
