I was feeling abit down thinking wow all this hard work and I lost alot but I still look so big. Maybe its just becuase its a week before TOM so I was just being emotional I dunno. Well I was washing dishes thinking about how right now Im pretty happy in life. We are still struggling to catch up from my husband being unemployed for almost 3 years but things are looking up and dispite owing a few people money I am pretty happy. It got me thinking about my measurements. I did not start measuring when I started losing weight. It never crossed my mind to do it untill a month or two later when I started to slow down my weight loss. I was at the time using a different website which I still use occasionally. So anyways I was looking at the report tool to see where my waste line was at. Well in mid May it was 2 inches larger then right now! WOW i mean 2 inches to some might seem little but to me thats alot. Then I looked at hips and WOW 3 inches off them suckers! 4 inches off the thighs which is amazing to me since Ive always had big thighs. I wanna be able to wear skirts wihtout the chaffing skin on my legs ya know.

Anyways I thought I would share my excitement with people who care and know what I am going through. I have lost 31 lbs since april 7th, My bday. Hopefully by my bday next year I will be either at or below my first goal. I can not wait.

    I think it is great that you have lost that many inches and the weight! Sometimes, it is easy to see how far we have to go, and not even realize how far we have come. Great way to change your thinking!

    Awesome job. I have been with MFP for two months now. I love it.

    I have good days and bad. I have only lost 13 pounds so far.

    I told my husband that this is the first time in a long time that I have not given up on myself. This time is different , I feel great.

    good for you. I can really relate to the struggles. I have been unemployed since May of 2009 and the stress is a killer. I work hard to lose weight and it is going really slow but there are changes, even though they are hard to see. You can do this. just keep plugging away.
