Another small victory :

A week and a half ago, I bought a pair of "incentive" jeans. They came up over my hips but I couldn't button or zip them up. They are a nice pair of Levis that I bought at Ross for $12.99 to keep me motivated (as I just hate wasting money). I put them on last night to go out with my sister and her b/f and I did NOT have to lay on the bed to button and zip them.

I've only lost 1 lb in the last 12 days so this prompted me to measure and yep, I was down another 1.5" in my waist and .5" in my hips. I'm so glad I kept up with the measuring along with weighing as the measuring tape truly does move when the scale doesn't. This continues to keep me motivated to stick with this WOL even when the scale doesn't budget.
