I've been working on losing weight for a while now. Well, off and on for years, but this go 'round it's been about 4 weeks. And in those 4 weeks, I've lost 12.8 pounds - yay! But even though I was losing - and not a small amount, either - I didn't feel like I could see a change. Until now.
I don't wear my wedding ring as much as I used to because, as it turns out, I am allergic to it (thanks Dad). Once upon a time I didn't even take it off to shower or sleep, but since developing this wonderful allergy I can't wear it too much or I get a wonderful red, itchy, flaky, blistery rash on my finger. But lately, the allergy isn't what has stopped me from wearing my ring - the fat has. Meaning, I couldn't wear it comfortably because my fingers had gotten too fat.
Yesterday I decided to give it a go and whaddayaknow! It fits comfortably again.
I'm also starting to notice a difference in the way my pants and shirts fit. I feel "skinny" today for the first time in ages. Finally, my perception and what the scale is telling me is starting to match up.

congratulations! Keep up the good work. You coach softball? My daughter played in college. I miss going to the games and getting "bleacher butt".
yay for you! that's amazing. so what's your secret - just eating better or exercising or both? or have you already written about it and i missed it?
I've been doing some exercise, though not as much as I should be, and eating right. I joined Weight Watchers. I didn't think I "needed" it, but while I don't necessarily learn anything new at the meetings, I'm finding I enjoy it. There are great people and an awesome leader at my meeting.
