I was discouraged

When I weighed myself this morning, I had lost less than half a pound this week.

Then out of the blue, I decided to measure my waist. I hadn't done that in about 3 weeks, since doing the initial calculations for IPOARM.

So I took out my handy tape and wrapped it around my waist. Then I looked at what it said. Then I made my husband do it again for me. Why? Because it read 6 inches less than 3 weeks ago. 6 FREAKING INCHES. I hadn't noticed because my hips are only down 0.5 inches and my pants are always at my hips.

So I re-did the Military Fat Calculator and my body fat is down almost 6%. Holy crap. The only downside is that I have to eat a bit less now. :bigsmile:
