I ran into a friend of mine today, and the first thing she said to me was, "How much weight have you lost?"
I have been sticking solidly to a Paleo eating plan for 11 days, but she was not aware of this. I knew I had lost some weight/inches because of the way my shirts fit now, but I haven't bothered weighing.
It made me smile knowing that my efforts are paying off, and that a friend took the time to notice the weight loss. It felt good!
