Just a few days ago I posted that I had lost 2 pounds since beginning this "eat more, weight less" theory of losing weight. Since someone here had mentioned tracking your weight every day to get a sense of your gains/losses to find a pattern, I've been tracking my weight every day.

So, according to my scale, I gained those 2 pounds back in the last couple of days BUT.....

this morning I put on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear in quite awhile (couldn't even get them buttoned) but today they slid on perfectly and buttoned without me having to suck my gut in!!

Perfect example that this does work!

So what if the scale shows a gain....clearly I'm continuing to lose inches or these pants would not have fit!!

Keep eating and working out!!! And the inches will come off!!!!

Now, I'm off to go find one of my favorite pairs of shorts from last summer and use that to gauge my next NSV!!!

    Oh and I should probably add that I've increased the weights on my workouts and my muscles are extremely sore so I don't think that eating more has contributed to the weight gain the last couple days. But more of water retention in my muscles that has caused the gain.

    WOW that is fantastic!!!
    You are so inspiring and i love how you eat so well too!!

    I really have to keep reminding myself to use those extra calories on good food NOT chips and chocolate LOL
    I have been mostly good but every now and then when i feel like filling it with crap, your diary comes up on my news feed and i see all these beautiful foods and it re-motivates me :)

    Your good work is paying off!
