It's not just about the scale

Hell, no. I try and take my measurements every month. Since August 15, here's the deets:

Weight: -5.2 pounds
Ribs (under bustline): -7/8"
Upper arm: -1/2"
Belly button: -1/2"
Hips: -1/4"
Thigh: -3/4"
Bust: STS (Thank God the Girls aren't going anywhere!)

Total: 2 7/8" (that's almost 3 inches in a month!)

I'll take it.

And, last night I wore the pants from the suit I bought when I was at goal weight. Granted, the Spanx kept me sucked in, but I could not only breathe, I could also eat without blowing a button or a seam.
