After not losing any weight this week I was very dissapointed, and I thought that measuring my self would just add to the unhappiness, but I decided to give it a whirl anyways. Guess what!!! I lost 3 inches (1-waist 2-hips). Yeah me!!!! For some reason though i'm never as happy about losing inches as I am when I see the # go down on the scale. Do any of you guys feel that way?:ohwell:

    That's Great!!! You should be proud!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile:

    I agree about the scale thing!!! I hate my scale... I am lucky though that I am not as addicted as some people. I am glad that I usually "forget" to weigh myself... otherwise I would never have a good day! Haha! The scale is the ENEMY!!!! :grumble:

    Be HAPPY about your inches... in all reality that is better than weightloss... it means you are leaner. Leaner is better! :smokin:

    I know how you feel. It seems to be that I could be measure the wrong spot along my hips or pulling the tape tighter or not as tight... Of course there's as many issues with scales, but you just step on and see the bad news!

    yeah same way here. its so hard for me to see the number go down. however, i know i'm losing inches because the other day i tried on my "old" pants and it actually fits. and also (not to be rude or anything) i can feel that my underwear is getting loose on me.

    but i'd be much happier to see the number go down.
