I've been stressing lately over how the scale hasn't changed much, even though I've followed the induction rules to the "T", (exception of alcohol on SB Sunday), been getting tons of minutes on the treadmill, etc...
Today I finally got a minor Whooshie... well, nothing is minor, right? Anyway, it was a 2 lb drop, and I guess maybe that's really not so minor, eh? As I've said before, I started out with size 40 waist jeans, now wearing 38's... and they are really getting baggy.
Just a little over two weeks ago I went to a basketball game with my older brother and he never mentioned anything... I saw him late this afternoon and he had to take a second glance.. He actually said "You're getting skinny" to me. Well, believe me, I'm not skinny! 
But, there has definitely been a change since I started this WOL on 12/29/05. And, it's all good!!! With my 2 lb whooshie today I'm down a total of 28 lbs, which is awesome, but most of that was in the first 3 weeks. You know, almost nobody noticed those lbs. In the next 3 weeks I've only lost maybe 6 lbs or so, but my body is shrinking more than in the beginning. I also saw a nephew today that I hadn't seen since Christmas. He walked in and started looking at me and running his hands down his face... I asked what that was all about, and he said that he was looking at the change in my face.
Here I was, getting discouraged about the scale not moving.... Yes, I've read it here a zillion times... "Don't worry about the scale". I guess it just didn't register until today.
Hey, you veterans.... Keep preaching to us newbies!!!
We need it from time to time...
