I just couldn't believe it

I had to measure my hips 4 times because I thought I measured wrong. My hips have gone down 7 inches since July. I'm doing a happy dance because my hips have always been something I hated.  I carry a fair amount on my lower body, though I tend to lose proportionately, and so to see that number drop so dramatically just astonishes me. It's now what it was when I was a senior in high school!!!!  I also weighed 50 lbs less at that time , so that just tells you how well certain exercises do on measurements. Even if the scale is slow to move, the body still chuggs along.

Great way to start the day.  (I need to take a new photo for my blog.  The skirt I'm wearing in my starting point picture--I wore yesterday.  The waist is on my hips and when I hold it where it should be, I have inches of room, like something you'd imagine in a weight loss commercial.)
