Weigh-in and Measurements

Well I guess I need someone (somewhere) to be accountable to. I am halfway through MW 6 week challenge. It's still an enjoyable workout, but this last week I haven't had it in me to go over and above the workout. Maybe next week.
Soooo, here it goes. I started trying to get healthier when I stopped nursing, 9 months ago. My very first weigh-in was painful. I weighed in at 170.1lbs, chest 37.25", waist 32.75", hips 46.75", thighs 29.75". I knew I was big, but the numbers still surprised me.
Today I am 161lbs, chest 34.5", waist 30.5", hips 43", thighs 25". That is an loss of 13.5 inches and 9lbs. That is only a pound a month, but this has been very VERY stubborn baby weight.

I am trying so hard to look at the inch loss, instead of the pounds lost. Thirteen and a half inches is an accomplishment. I am down 2-3 pant sizes. This means that I can go into almost any store to buy clothes now. This loss also means that I don't get winded running after my busy toddler or going up a flight of stairs. I think I've done a good job. I haven't joined a gym (although for awhile I was a part of a club that challenged each other physically and nutritionally) and I haven't 'dieted'. I have just been more conscious of what I put in my mouth and when. I am trying to be more active. I'm trying to be a better role model for my son. And above all else, I'm trying to love myself, no matter what size I am or what I think I see in the mirror.
