So I haven't lost a pound in about a month, just bouncing back and forth over this last pound. BUT!! I started weight lifting a couple of weeks ago. So today, I pulled a pair of pants out of the dryer. And you know how the dryer shrinks your clothes...HAHA. Well, They are really loose. I measured and I am down 2.5 inches on my waist. Woooo HOOOOO!!!!!

    That's a fantastic NSV! :happy:

    Only thing is that it can start to get expensive having to buy new clothes all the time!

    Amazing!!! Mine is this- I work on a goldmine site and predominantly with men. They didn't notice when I dyed my hair from blonde to almost black BUT this morning my one supervisor said "I gotta ask, have you lost weight?!" ... of course I said "YOU BET I HAVE"... made me feel good to know people are noticing now! :)

    Congratulations! That is awesome. I have decided not to weigh myself for a whole month. It brings me down when I don't see the number move. I am trying to concentrate more on how good I am feeling and not the number.

    Keep up the great work :happy:

    I have to say, I think it is kind of cool that you work on a gold mine!!!!

    I've been lifting weights for about a year now. I haven't really lost any weight during that time, but I did lose 2 pant sizes. Most of the 16 pounds I lost was before weight lifting, but then I didn't seem to be losing size back then. So weird.

    That is Great!! I am on my 5th lifting session! I told one of the girls I work with this morning I swear I can already see a difference in my tummy. My shirt went over my belly yesterday, and I could see my belly button. I use to just see my little fat pouch there, not my actual belly button! Keep Going! I am so excited for you!
