I haven't lost any pounds in over two weeks so I have been feeling kinda down. I exercise everyday usually burning between 2000-2500 calories a week. This past week I joined a challenge to burn 3500. I burned almost 4,000 with a day off!
This morning I was cleaning up my room and when I opened my closet I saw my pre-pregnant spring clothes staring at me. ( I keep them front and center so I can remember why im working so hard.) I first tried on a spring top. The sleeves aren't hugging my arms! My muffin top is significantly smaller but is still there (hopefully in a few weeks it will be hidden) Well I decided to try on a pair of khaki capris size 10 and to my surprise they slipped right on and fit perfectly! I then saw a pair of capris that were a size 8. I debated if I should attempt trying them on but my curiosity won. They went on zipped and buttoned but not ready for public view lol. Which im ok with bc I never thought at this weight they would even button. Lol
I am beginning to realize that my weight isn't as important as my inches. I measure once a week and in the past two weeks I have lost a total of 13 inches. My weight is still the same but my clothes that fit today didn't fit two weeks ago!!

You have discovered a basic truth: an equal volume of muscle weighs more than fat! Congrats to you on not only fitting back into your "skinny" clothes but on increasing your fitness!0

Well done on your NSV
I had pretty much the same this week, hit the halfway mark a couple of weeks ago and have slacked off a tad, only losing 2 lbs in 2 weeks (which I was very surprised at to be honest!) but the trousers I tried on the day I hit my halfway point left a triple muffin top...just awful...i grabbed them accidentally on Thursday and they slid on with out undoing them and NO muffin top. I think sometimes your body needs a little time to catch up with the weight lost!0 -
Great job!! I love when that happens0
