I have not seen a huge difference on the scale, ... but I am now on my last hole on my belt and jeans I could not get into in September I now can.  So while the scale may not be moving down, the fat is moving out.

Excellent point: the scale only tells part of the story. I also find it difficult to remember that from time to time. I'm coming up on my monthly weigh in and yes, the weight is overall is moving very slowly, but the 32-waist trousers I bough two months ago are now loose.

I tried on a jacket I haven't worn in about 5 years yesterday as a test, and not only did it fit, but I could zip it up!  And it wasn't making me look like it was busting out on me!  Now in my closet I have a beautiful leather coat that is a size 8 and I have not worn that since the 70's.  This will be my goal garment.  When I can get into that, you will hear my cave woman voice all over the world shouting for joy!  At 5'2 and now weighing about 179 pounds, it will be a joyous day indeed for this old cavewoman!

 

My goal garment is a pair of shorts I bought in high school. They are a size 38 waist (I was big in high school, too). I am presently somewhere around a 44-50 inch waist (haven't measured), but I look forward to fitting into them!
