ok so I am teetering at 141.90 to 142.6 cant seem to get below that mark. I am training with couch to 10k for a marathon so I know that the muscles I am gaining is probably a big factor. So..I am going to ditch the scale. I have a pair of jean capris that I LOVE and cant wear at the moment cuz they are too tight in the waist! I have a belly pouch from having twins 4 years ago. I measured my waist today and it was 35", measured the jeans waist and they were 33" So I am setting a new goal for myself to loose 3" off my waist! Does that sound reasonable~!?

    That sounds like an awesome goal! I am proud of you for being smart enough to ditch the scale and go on what your body is doing. Muscle does weigh more, but it makes you look so much better. Good luck, you can do it! I am training for a 5K in May, my first such race since I gave birth to my last two kids. We can do it!

    whatever works for you. everyone is differt. i use to weigh multiple times a day. i tried not weighing at all and i found i stressed too much over it all. i currently weigh daily, after i wake up and go to the restroom. also i do measurements on the 4th of every month.
