One small step

Today I weighed myself and I have lost a pound in one week's time. This discouraged me and I thought why am I doing this for nothing. I had really cut back on the "junk" food I was eating and I was drinking tons of water, so I thought the weight reduction would be greater. However, when I took my measurements, my motivation took a jump. I''ve lost a total of 4 3/4 inches from various places, such as bust line, waistline and hips. I'm so excited now that I can't wait until next week's weigh in.:wink:

    That is awesome!!!! You should get a ribbon (a BLUE ribbon) and cut it the length of the inches you have lost...

    Great job!

    I too, was starting to get a little discouraged. I got on the scale this morning and it went down 1 pound. I was actually kind of excited about that since it hasn't really moved in a couple of weeks. But today was the day for me to update my measurements. I got out the 'ol tape measure and saw that I had worked off some of that unwanted circumference! Since I started in January, I have lost only 7 pounds but I have also lost a total of 6 inches! So, I guess it IS working!! :laugh:

    :drinker: Cheers everyone! Have a great weekend!
