this post makes me feel so much better! I let the scale rule over me, but seeing your pic that helps me realize that I am better than my scale!0

I need to show this to my mom! She freaked out because I had a 2 lb gain one week. I told her after strength training for a while I'm bound to gain a little muscle weight before I start losing again. You look great, and I am posting that list on my fridge, next to my vision board. Thanks for this post!0

You'll also weigh more the day after a workout due to water weight. You create micro tears in your muscles when you workout; this is how you get stronger. Your body will retain water to repair these tears. For consistency purposes I only weigh in on days that follow a rest day0 -
Thank u for posting! I SO needed to read this today!! You look fabulous0

GREAT work, loving the photos i think im definately going to have to take some and see where crossfit takes me!!!
It really scares me when i see people weighing themselves every day, i hardly do it once a month all about the results in fitness and strength more!!0 -
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I joined a gym October 7. I haven't even lost two lbs yet. I've been working out hard with weights and a trainer. Inches are creeping down and my clothes fit so much better, but it's SO discouraging not to see the scale move!
You look fab, woman!0 -

You look fantastic. Thank you for sharing. I also needed to see progress pics. I have lost weight but I can't wait until my body is totally toned. You should be so proud of yourself. You worked hard and it shows. Congrats0

I TOTALLY needed this today - Thank you so much!
Your photos look fantastic and really does hit home that I need to stop obsessing about "'weight" and more about being fit/healthy.

Even a straight aerobic day? I try not to do strength the day before weigh-in. I have to call my mom after every weigh-in to tell her my weight because she's paying for the program I'm doing (you'd think I was 16, not 45!), and last week I had lost the 2 plus another 1, and she said she didn't want to hear about any more gains. Oy! :huh:0 -
Wow!! What an awesome transformation. I feel the same way about the past month that I've spent doing Jillian Michael's 30DS - I've barely lost a pound, but the difference in the mirror is huge!
Seriously though, you look awesome. I'm 5'5 as well, and around 135 lbs. I don't look nearly as fit as you do -- that little number doesn't mean much! Congrats on your progress.0 -
you are wonderful thank you for this!0
