Surprise Surprise!

I've been slightly discourage over the past couple months because I haven't been seeing the number on the scale go down despite my regular work outs, keeping the calories down and making more of a "clean eating" lifestyle change. I know that we shouldn't focus on the number that the scale throws at us when we step on it, but I can't help but have it nag at the back of my head that I'm just not trying hard enough.
My husband has been telling me "babe, it's working, trust me, you're shape is changing, a lot." Yea yea...you're my husband, you're supposed to say those things....he just shakes his head and says that it's true and I should look in a mirror. Well, I do look in the mirror.
I have been taking measurements and despite lack of weight loss, the inches have been coming off. I just didn't realize how much they have been coming off!! One of my MFP friends suggested that I take photos to see how well I was actually doing. I had taken a "before" photo way back last year and then forgot about it because I just didn't want to see it....blech. So I thought, yea...I really should. So I took some "now" photos and HOLY SMOKES!!! My husband isn't just pulling my leg to make me feel better...my shape really is changing!!
My friends here on MFP, if you're feeling discouraged when the numbers aren't budging...keep on keeping on! Your hard work and determination really are paying off!!
Cheers!! ( I hope I can get this picture thing to work!)
