FIrst NSV's and 6 months in!

So, I am 6 months on my way to a healthier and fitter me! This week, I have finally noticed some big differences in my body! Others have made comments on noticing I am loing weight but now I am seeing it!
During Zumba class I found myself looking at my reflection in the mirror almost the entire class, checking myself out! LOL I can see my cheek bones more, noticed I can smile and NOT have a second chin, seh musdles in my arms and legs more, and can see my collar bone more!
Then TOM came for a visit and I noticed that though my stomach did bloat a bit, it wasn't anywhere near what it normally was when TOM is here. Even managed ot get the scale to go down a pound despite it!!!!!
As for clothes, my shorts are falling down and I need to wear belts with everything I own for pants inorder to not ahve to hike them up every 5 minutes. When one of my little daycare kiddos puls on a pant leg, I have to grab the top of my pants to keep them from falling down! LOL
I ahve jsut about hit the half way mark to my goal, just 1 more lb and I will be at the half way point! I am quite proud of myself, the energy I have, the way I look, the determination that seems to keep getting stronger, and the control I have when it comes to junk food and just not really wanting it most of the time. I feel like a reformed junk food junkie!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to share some of the successes with everyone on MFP. It is possible to do this, even in your 40's!!!!!!!!!
