Not always the scale that's important
Wow, that's really impressive, Paper! Your trainer was right - don't worry
about the weight right now as you have definitely slimmied down considerably. Congratulations.

I'm a happy camper again. (I carry all my flab from chest to belly, and it's all in front. There is some real visible shrinkage going on there, and I'm happy to actually HAVE a waist.

Excellent! There are more ways to measure your progress than the scale
alone. I'm glad you've added the tape measure to arsenal of tools.

It probably is good to have real numbers other than those on the scale
to demonstrate that things are working in a positive manner. Great job with those other reduced numbers.
