15 lbs. in a month and starting to see a small change!

I started MFP about a month ago. I've lost about 15 pounds and have about 100 or so to go. I'm noticing my clothes are starting to get a bit more comfortable and a little looser (and my pants longer!), but I couldn't really see much of a difference looking in the mirror. Today I did a side by side (before on the left) and I can see change starting to happen! It's not huge, but everything is getting a little less thick and my belly is a bit less round. My hiney could still double for a coffee table, but that's true even when I'm thin.
I was on the fence about taking photos, but now I'm glad I did! I'm totally hooked on the success stories and I LOVE reading your stories and looking at pics.

So what have you been doing to get such great results? Looking for ideas!0

@half_moon
Food: I've cut out as much processed food as possible (sodium was killing me, I'm a water-retaining camel), increased veg, and upped my water intake a ton. I've been diligently tracking every morsel and try to stay within the recommendations for carbs/protein/fat. My eating habits weren't terrible to begin with as far as the foods I chose, but portion size had really gotten out of wack, so now I weigh and measure whenever I can. Portion sizes are surprisingly small sometimes! *side eye at cashews*
Exercise: I have been looking for opportunities to add steps here and there, yoga, and the gym a couple times. Nothing super drastic exercise-wise, that's my next hurdle.
I think when you have more to lose it does tend to come off a bit faster in the beginning, but I'll take it!0 -
Try pickleball. You will be so happy you did.0

@Error4 I think you are grossly over estimating my hand-eye coordination, but I appreciate the suggestion!
I try to avoid sports where a ball can hit me. I dislike being hit, my vision is crummy (thanks 40!), I'm slower than a turtle, and my reflexes are only slightly better. I'm good at things like hiking, weight lifting, yoga, and walking where I can set the pace and no one hurls objects at me. I'm strong and bendy -- if anyone has suggestions for sports that play to my strengths, I'm all ears!

I think when you have more to lose it tends to come off quickly in the beginning. I didn't do anything unusual. I just tracked calories, avoided processed food where I could (sodium gets me) and drank a lot more water. Did my best to get at least five servings of fruit and veg, mostly veg. Tried to move more.
