In addition to my weight, I've started measuring my waist. I'm not exactly sure where I started, but it was somewhere in the 40s. I try not to think about it! After a few weeks, I had to buy a new belt, and then I noticed that I was drawing it in tighter and tighter every few days. When I bought it, I used the 43-inch notch, but soon I was using the 41-inch notch, and then the 39-inch notch, and soon I ran out of notches! That's the point at which I began measuring my waist weekly with a tape measure. I still haven't poked new holes in the belt, so now I'm sometimes in danger of my pants falling down even with my belt on!

Thanks to both of your. My weekly update is due tomorrow, but I'll tell you now: another two pounds, though not another inch. My belly's smaller, but not my waist. :-(
