    Congratulations!! This is a big incentive for me, a newbie to this site. I've lost 3 pounds my first week (which I seriously doubt is water weight as I've been exercising pretty regularly for the past 6 months). I'm pleased.
    Thanks for sharing your triumphs! It encourages the rest of us. Keep up the great work!!:flowerforyou:

    that is great! keep up the good work.

    I only wish that I had taken measurments when I started. I guess I was too scared to do that especially after I weighed myself back on Jan 2.

    Yeah I didn't take measurements for the first month, either. So I bet the 20 inches isn't completely accurate, but I'm thrilled with it!!

    You should start measuring! It's a great progress monitor and a huge motivator!

    Hey, if you didn't measure at first, here's what I did.

    I measured the inside of a waistband on a pair of pants that used to be too tight (see profile "after" pics).

    This at least gives you an idea of how far you've come.

    Oh, and celebrate! Happy dance. (extra cardio)
