Isn't this an  incredible journey!  You are doing great!  Be patient of stalls....regardless of how frustrating it may be to not see instant reward for your hard work...it'll come off, I promise, as long as you stay focused and make yourself a priority.  We will be equally as excited to share your journey.  HUGS & Welcome!  Jeanine

Hi Jeanine!  Yes, this is an incredible journey!  My nut pretty much told me I have to put away my scale for awhile, since I was becoming overly obsessed with it.  So, I did my measurements last night.  Even thought I'm not losing pounds, I'm losing inches, and I've lost 24.25 inches since I last measured about a month ago.  That brings me to a total of 63.5 inches lost so far, which I am thrilled about! Thank you for the warm welcome!

You are very welcome!  That was excellent advice.  Sometimes we place way too much emphasis on that scale number. Many people on this board have also noticed inches gone even though the number won't budge for a week or two. You should be thrilled....thats excellent!
