I've have been stalling so frequently that I have really been down in the dumps lately. These past two months I would lose a few pounds and for the remainder of that week and the next week I would just bounce up and down with the pounds I'd lost on the scales. Then I will lose a few more and do the same thing for two weeks again. It really can be nerve wrecking, but thank goodness I measured in the beginning to let me know that I am progressing no matter what the scales say! These are my measurements and inches lost.

You think that you are big now until you look back and see just how BIG you actually were!!! Like a whole 51.25 inches BIGGER..... LOL

Great perspective!!! I love it!

Congratulations on losing the inches..wow,,, tape measure doesnt lie!!!

You are doing great - try to only weigh yourself once a week....hold off as hard or tempting as it may be, hold off for one full week..... if avoids the ups & downs that you see when you weigh yourself so frequently.

Yep! I agree the tape measure is a wonderful thing when the scale isn't moving and has been my friend over the last 6mths!!

Keep up the good work... =]

AWESOME! AND...you lost in your arms! I'm jealous...I have lost inches EVERYWHERE except my flippin flapping arms! LOL...it is sooooo maddening! Super results!

Yay for you! That's great and incredibly inspiring. I didn't measure before the surgery, but I'm only 2 weeks out. I think it might be time to get out the tape for future reference!

On the scale issue, I had to ask my hubby to hide it from me and just take it out on Saturday mornings. I just couldn't stay off of it in the mornings and if I had gone up even a tenth of a pound...it ruined my day! I never did measure but I can tell by the way my clothes fit me that I have lost inches.

Keep up the great work everyone!!

I've been in a severe funk... stalled for my 4th week... I lost 9lbs the month of May.. UGH ... but i've lost 2 inches around my waist since 4/6 .. Who knows maybe it'll turn around for me... but I do Thank GOD for Tiffykins who sent me a great email I just got today when I logged on.. I am just at the frame of mind that I don't know what is right to eat and what isn't and if I lose I lose if I don't, I tried.. .but one way or another i'm down almost 60 lbs and I'm no longer a diabetic so thats a plus..

But seriously my brain is tired of trying to figure this all out LOL

So happy for everyone's accomplishments... SO PROUD of you all... KICK SOME SERIOUS BUTT!!!
