Well, these 5 weeks have been something! I have been doing good eating wise. The scale has hardly moved from week 2 but I took my measurements this morning! Wow! I have lost the following:

Waist - 7 inches
Chest - 8 inches
Hips - 9 inches
Calves - 2 inches

I guess at this point I don't care that the scale has not moved since week 2...lol! Obviously things are happening! I was wearing a 30/32 in pants and now wear a 22/24! I was wearing a 5X in shirts and now wear a 1X! Woo hoo, I am on my way!

Woot! Woot!

I usually rely on clothing and how it fits over scales, but I am too focused on the darn 10 percent loss before surgery... Stupid scale (haha).

You are doing great!!!! I think the change in clothing size is amazing, keep up the great work!

Congrats on inches!! Keep up the good work!! If plauteu last for 2 more weeks check in for suggestions. Some times when you drop a lot of weight your body wants to rebel. You may want to start exercising if you do not or increase intensity if you do exercise.
