So far I've lost a total of 6 lbs since Jan. 20, which is no small potatoes but then again it's not the dramatic change I read about. It's all good. The time will come when you are surprised when you step onto the scale!

PS, I do the same thing only with me, I keep looking in the mirror. I check my chin because it is the most obvious place where change has taken place. I no longer have a neck-hiding "goiter" type chin. My girlish figure has begun coming out of hiding. Every little change is a miracle!

Some days I get really down about it and other days I'm able to see the changes in the mirror or in how my clothes fit. I weighed myself on Feb. 1st and March 1st and weighed exactly the same. That scared me because slow weight loss is one thing and no weight loss is something else entirely. But, I just wasn't ready to weigh and measure or cut back my starches too much so I decided to keep going a little longer without making changes. Anyhoo, I've lost 4.8 pounds since March 1st so I don't know what was going on. I could tell that I was getting smaller but the scale refused to budge. Clearly I was getting smaller. I'm trying to remember this moment for the next time the scale goes weeks without moving. So, if you feel comfortable (not over full) after your meals and your body looks like changes are happening when you look in the mirror or whatever trust that things are working. I think with women (maybe) we have things going on in our bodies that prevent the scale from moving even when weight loss is actually occurring. I don't know. It's my theory today. You are doing great!
