Erin and Pepperann... if it is any consolation... I am also a slow loser (I like to tell people that my metabolism is as close to stopped as it could be without actually going backwards)

In my first Induction (and I was incredibly 'by-the-book') I lost 6 pounds (DH lost 11 ) By the time I was down 23 pounds I have lost 19 inches - 19 inches - off of EVERYTHING!! upper arms, bust, waist, hips, thighs even CALVES!

I measured once a week, Mondays, when I weighed in. I did it on Monday's because it helped keep me focused on the weekends knowing I would have to weigh in on Monday!

I went from a size 14 to a size 8... and the eight's very comfortable. I admit I am back up some pounds after a brutal holiday season and lots of overseas travel - but I'm close to the 8s again - and I hope that once I get closer to goal I might even see 6s!!

Measure - Measure - Measure!

Thanks for the support!I was about ready to throw in the towel.Especially since my husband has lost 15 pounds and he eats more than I do.

I am convinced the scale is EVIL. I put on a pair of jeans that haven't fit me in 9 months and they fit perfect. Funny thing...the scale hasn't moved at all. I took out the tape measure and I lost 3 inches from my waist...Wow!
