Figured out losing "weight" not the best 4 me,

In the past I focused on changing the number on the scale. But was disheartened at the number on the scale dropping, and not my pants size dropping. Why would a 4'11" drop 22 pounds and still look the same? So I finally started weight training, and learning what circuit training was and OMG the scale only dropped 7lbs, but my body dropped a lot of inches and fat. I think I'm finally understanding what that loosing a 1-2 pounds a month thing is about.

I dropped

waist -5.5 inces
hips - 3.75
chest -1.25

and under an inch from everywhere, I think I would rather loss inches than numbers on the scale..

I've learned this lesson before, but needed this reminder, thanks!

the scale is only a guideline - not the tell all of success. BF%, clothes and overall how we feel about ourselves is the true indicator of all the hard work!!

Great reminder!! Thanks

My scale hasn't been moving, but my body diffently has changed. I'm getting that ever coveted hour glass figure again. Just love it!

I meant 1-2 pounds a week, not a month.. Sheesh, learning to read right would help so much with online post!
