I found my tape measure!!!

I have been working on improving my weight for over a year now. Last year I was able to lose a little more than 30 pounds. I joined this competition to help me jump start this year for the rest of the weight I want to get rid of. While I didn't know where my tape measure was in Jan I did find it in Feb. I was able to compare my stats from Dec of 08, so at the time it was 13 months from the previous measure and from Dec to Feb I lost over 17 inches. I measured myself again this morning. I have lost an additional 5.25 inches, most of which is in my waist. The best thing about this for ME is that I am losing the majority of my inches right where I want to drop them. This is a first for me. My waist is usually one of the last places to release the weight. I am also toning it too. I was glad to find that tape measure so I could see just how much I have improved. I wish I had found it in Jan so I would know total results during our little competition. I look forward to taking my measurements again next month.
While I am the one sweating away the pounds and cutting out junk that isn't good for me, I want to thank Wendi for putting this together to help me get over my slump from the end of last year. I also want to thank Jenny for helping me stay strong!! Thanks ladies, I appreciate it!!!
