    What did you expect? Total mental change on reaching one goal? One should have multiple goals in lots of areas that matter (most areas that matter of course aren't measurable, but goals in those areas are vital nonetheless!).

    Set shortish-term, achievable goals. And not just weight-related ones!

    As others have said, you now need to change your body composition to get the look you want. Here's a picture (I hope) of one woman's weight loss/body comp journey. On the left, a pic of her at her goal weight. On the right, after she ditched cardio and started lifting heavy weights. She weighs more on the left but looks smaller. This is why people are often told not to focus on the scale--it may not really be your end goal.

    I 'love' the results! Is there a way to do this without lifting weights? I have a neck injury that prevents heavy lifting so I only use dumbbells. Any suggestions?

    Dumb bells are weights :smile:

    :smile: Mine are only 3 lb each for a total of 6 lb so by many opinions likely won't do much.

    and for wyattj99 my sister started with 3lb dumbells and JM 30DS, has since moved onto ripped in 30 and extreme shed and shred along with karate and 20mins of cardio in the morning...she is about 19% BF and now uses 10lb dumbells...any weight is better than no weight.
