I haven't lost weight in 2 1/2 months, but...

juliekaboolie · 05-23-2011, 03:11 PM

all of sudden many people are commenting on how 'skinny'

I am getting. I wonder if I'm losing inches? Idk if I am because I haven't really tracked them. I do remember measuring my waist in the beginning and it was 39.5 inches. I'll have to measure it again and see. I love that SOMETHING is noticeable at least!

Ok...just measured my waist at 38 inches!

Yay!

Let us know when your pants fall off

(and now I'm thinking about that silly song "Pants on the Ground")

Congrats!

Good for YOU

I'm not losing, but always get told that "maybe i'm losing inches" but I don't think it's possible if you aren't weight training? NO? IDK? I'm sure that I'd least feel my pants getting baggy

YAY!! That must feel so encouraging!!

At least you know the body is changing its shape, so more patience must be had with the scale! Congrats!

I started getting a lot of comments like that when I got a new bra. no telling what makes people see your body differently, you know? maybe it's the clothes you are wearing now.

Congratulations! Inches are what counts, that's what everyone sees!

Doesn't it feel great?!

An older gentlemen at church came up to me this week and said, "you are getting positively skinny!". I gave him a big hug and told him he was my new best friend!!
