Numbers vs Compliments

I don't know what feels better to record an official loss at the scales or to get my first comment that I look like I've lost weight. Because I've got some paid ahead passes for weight watchers, I've decided to go to weigh in there for my official weight loss numbers seeing that I don't have a digital scale and doubt mine is super reliable.

Well, this morning I weighed in at a meeting and hadn't weighed in since April 2nd. After that weigh in a month ago I wasn't really doing a whole lot to lose weight and new I may have even been up a bit when I started South Beach on the April 27th, but my loss today was 4lbs from that last weigh in. On my scale I thought is was around 5-6 which may be true from a couple of weeks ago. SWEET!!

Then tonight I stopped at Save-on Foods after work to pick up a few things (being off refined foods and sugars sure is expensive, but well worth it). I ran into the mother of our new baby sitter, who I'm getting to know and last saw a few weeks ago, the first thing she says, "you've lost weight, looks great, I almost didn't recognize you!" SWEET!! Love that feedback.

Of course I'm feeling the difference already in my clothes and my energy level, but I'm so happy that the weight truly is coming off and people will be noticing it too.
