Weight Loss Body Changes

Last night I decided to take my measurements - I've been doing them about 1x/month since the Spring to give me another way to measure success other than just the scale. It had been 6 weeks since the last time I took them - and during that 6 weeks I've lost 12 lbs. I was convinced there wouldn't be much of a difference since so much of October I was not able to work out as regularly. The thing I forgot is that as anyone who's lost significant weight will know, your body changes and adjusts to its new weight on it's own time schedule. So those times of losing weight but not inches caught up! I was delighted to find that in the past 6 weeks I've lost 2 inches in my waist, 2 1/2 inches in my hips, 1 1/2 inches in my thigh, 1/2 inch in my upper arm! so exciting :)
