Results are in!

This morning we got measured and stepped on the scale and may I have a drum roll please.......ppppppppppplllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Down 15 lbs, 9.25 inches and 2.5% body fat!!!! We all had great results but they varied obviously because we are all different. Shannon lost more lbs but was bummed about her inches, even though they were great! Em lost more inches than lbs, including 6 from her waist alone!!! George, well George was not as forthecoming with his results except to say that he saw the biggest difference in his waist. We'll open him up before all is said and done!

I am so proud of all of us...we have been working so freakin' hard at this and this just goes to show that hard work does get rewarded. I will be completely honest and say that I wanted 20lbs at this point and I thought for sure that I would get it. I know my results are good but I just had this idea in my head ya know? The funny thing is that I knew my inches would show a loss but I wasn't as interested in that. I am still stuck on that stupid number on the scale. And I am starting to understand why. For sooooo long I have concentrated on, fretted over, cried over, and stressed about the number on the scale. That's not gonna go away and change over night. It will take me just as long to change my thinking as it will to take off the weight, maybe longer.

I'm glad that we do the scale and the inches though. The combination allows all of us to see some kind of results. Overall I am pleased with my numbers and gives me a reference for the next 6 weeks.
