Ok so I have been busting my nut at the gym and not really losing weight as the scale has not moved but I finally was able to get into last years size 10 jeans!

Ok so there is a bit of a muffin top and it is getting too warm to even need to wear jeans but it was exciting none the less.

My point is....not looking for praise at all....I am here to say i was a skeptic about using your clothes vs the scale as a better guide to feeling more fit but it does work and those pesky #s on the scale can kiss my BUTT!

Nice to finally see things changing for the better even if it is not scale #s I guess I will just keep working to have those jeans fit better now and have less of a jelly roll spillover happen next time I need to wear them.

Good luck to all of you people working hard out there.
If you feel like all that hard work the scale is still betraying you...try clothes instead. You just may get a VERY nice surprise!

    Awesome, good for you!

    I know what you mean about getting a non scale victory-clothes, measurements, compliments, feeling better, being able to do more etc. I'm a big fan of measurements and clothes...because there can be stuff happening when the scale is stuck.
