weight loss vs inches lost

[gatlingirl 0]

I joined Curves mid April 2010 and had lap band surgery on May 25th. I was just measured like 2 weeks ago and have lost 32 inches so far. I've lost around 25-30 pounds since then as well.

I've got a long way to go but it's a start. OH and I've been walking 1 to 2 miles a day for at least 5 days a week. So I'm very happy with the results so far.

I weigh daily and measure weekly.

On Sundays I take all of my measurements and then pictures, wearing the same outfit week after week. I'll keep wearing that outfit until it literally falls off of me!

Tuesday is the only day I record my weight and use it to keep track of my progress.

Both are quite satisfying for me at this point. In 3 weeks I've lost 7.8 inches off my waist alone and a total of 32.6 inches all over my body.

I do am guilty of relying on numbers for gratification. I have a hard time with recognizing that I have lost weight. I mean obviously I feel it in my clothes, but mentally I still think I am as big as I was. I look at pictures and I can't believe the change but I think the fact that I still have so much to lose kinda effects the mental aspect of it.

I do both but I can't really see it yet. Everyone else on the other hand does and tell me what a difference the weight loss has made already and I've only lost 24lbs so far. They tell me I look younger...imagine that!:thumbup:
