I started my journey on MFP about 6 weeks ago--I have lost 10 pounds to date and have lost 3 inches around my hip (butt) area and 3 inches around my waist. I haven't really noticed a change but I look in the mirror every day--however the tape measure gave me a big feeling of success and hope that this time will be different. The best part was when my mom said how proud she was of me because I was sticking to this 'diet'. I don't really see it as a diet but rather a life style change (big one) and learning about self control and being educated about food! I was feeling a little down after having two over calorie days in a row glad I got the tape measure out! I wish I had taken before and after pictures I like looking at others it gives me such inspiration! So thank you for being brave!
Thank you for this website! It has given me HOPE!

    That's awsome!!! I'm so happy for you!

    I wish I had taken before pictures too...I've dug for older pictures to try to compare them. I look in the mirror I really can't tell either :cry: but then the tape measure tells me the truth :happy:

    that's great! :flowerforyou:

    Take pictures now! That way in 10 more pounds or however many, you can take more and so on and have them to compare! It's better than nothing and it can be a great motivation (speaking from previous weightloss before my two pregnancies experience :wink: )

    Keep up the great work!
