Just beginning -- small success pic!

Thanks, everyone! You guys sure know how to make a girl feel good! ☺

Kteej -- my eating plan is admittedly not rock-solid. I have just been much more conscious of how much I put in my body.. logging and accountability does wonders for that! I do consistently eat right around the 1200 mark though, and I plan ahead most days by logging all my meals in the AM so I know where I stand. That way, when my boyfriend says he wants nachos, I have a good idea how many I can have, instead of just having the nachos and deciding the day is shot now anyway. I've also been working out 4-5 days a week, and I try not to eat too many of those calories back (sweatin' to the oldies, haha). It's funny how close our stats are!

Scuba -- keep going! You never know when the scale will start to move (and it will!), and once it does, you will never want to stop. I've had a few stretches when I was having no success on the scale, and even a few small gains, too. When the pounds don't come off, it's hard not to order a pizza. I try to think, "if I wake up tomorrow and the scale hasn't moved, at least it won't be because I gave up." Stick with it and don't waste the past few weeks of hard work-- your scale victories are coming, too!
