Thanks so much!! I was getting so frustrated by not seeing the scale move... So it made me feel so much better to see the pics and start to see the difference... I can't see it on an everyday basis... And it's so easy to get frustrated... Wish I could throw my scale away... Just can't bring myself to do that haha

That is exactly what you want to see. "Weight" is a conglomerate of so many variables that all show up as one number on the scale. I only judge my FAT loss by measurements and how my clothes fit. If you lose inches but not much overall weight then it's highly likely it's almost all fat and water...which also means you're keeping the muscle or even adding some. Tha is the perfect scenario for consistant sustainable progress. Muscle retention is key in keeping metabolism high and burning that fat.
People who get caught up in the excessive cardio mentality while on a calorie deficit are setting themselves up for failure in the long run. When you burn to much muscle along with fat, you are essentially losing metabolic rate due to lost muscle. So when people gain back any weight, the tend to look "skinny fat". It is a very viscious cycle.
Gotta stay diligent o the weight training and forget those scale numbers....you are doing great and o the right track!

You're looking great..and you can totally see the difference! I used to have a personal trainer, and upon our first meeting she asked me what my "goal weight" was..and I told her, "Uh...I don't really have a goal weight, I just want to look good..." and she was happy with this answer. Yes, weight loss and inches lost usually occur together, but sometimes it's not necessarily the pounds, but the inches that measure your progress!

Don't be upset with the scale (even though I always hate mine)...we can definitely see the difference inches wise Keep up the good work, you're looking great!

Amazing job! What a big difference! I'm starting to worry about the same thing, though, I've lost 2 inches off my waist already, and I've only lost 5 lbs!
