I didn't lose anything :sad:

Except
1/2" off my upper arms
1" off my upper legs
1 1/2" off my waist

and I lost the fear that lifting heavy would stall my progress! :bigsmile:

    Don't worry about the scale, you are clearly losing inches which is great! Keep up the good work.

    Thanks. I'm really hoping to see inches AND pounds. Greedy, I know :smile:

    But you also didn't gain weight and sometimes that's just gotta be enough! It's a bummer I totally understand but don't let it get you down. You might see a big loss next month!

    Sometimes, the scale is very rude. But sometimes, it catches up to you and gives you like 3.5 pounds in a week - so focus on the wins you are having! Otherwise, you'll probably give up - believe me, I've been a victim of that mentality before.

    Good job on the lost inches!!

    I'm a very happy daily weigher and charter with a good understanding of how the body works in terms of weight loss and water retention etc. thanks to learning from my past patterns. See that 5 pound spike from a week ago? Crazy sodium day and I knew what I was going to see the next morning before I even went to bed. No worries, gone in 3 days but still stupid on my part. We is all stupid sometimes. :tongue:

    I researched what was likely going to happen when I started lifting and expected to gain more than I actually did. That said, I sure am happy to see it turning around and dropping again!

    (Oh, and I'm a guy)
