From Cocoon to butterfly

We have all had experiences where the scale takes a jump in either direction and sometimes for no reason and other times, for a reason. Well, with the fact of the untruths I am told by the machine, I take my measurements. I do them every three weeks or soemtimes four because no matter what, it doesn’t lie. Sometimes when the scale might go a bit slow, look at those measurements and they will tell the truth. Well, it has been four weeks since measuring so I was due for measuring. My top, I did not expect much change but my bottom, well, that is what I wanted changed because that is what really needs to go down. Well, I had quite a pleasant experience, wow, it was great I should really say. I can see a huge jump going down in my hips and thighs. So, gotta tell you guys, if you are discouraged because some part of your body is going thinner but others are not, take heart, when you get lower, you will get rid of it! I am just so tickled. I am going to post what my first measurement where when I started and then I am posting what I had last month and then the difference to this month. Hopefully it can give some others encouragement to continue on no matter what!.
