    Thank you!!! I can see my clothes fitting better, people tell me I have lost weight, and the F@#$%^&*&^%$ scale does not want to move much. Just seeing how someone else can change their body but not the scale really is a huge psychological boost. You did a great thing for a lot of people by putting that out there today. Thank you!!

    Strength training really does make all the difference in the world. Since upping my strength training I've lost a crap-ton of inches, but very little in terms of weight. I've since put my scale away. I weigh-in once a week now instead of obsessing over my weight 1-2 times a day!

    you read my mind - I've been a daily weigher for as long as I can remember and just recently figured out the torture device was deciding my mood in the morning and that just wasn't going to cut it. I'm making progress whether it wants to admit it or not...but I can't help but check it because I want to see the dang 100s again, haha :)

    I have come off the wagon so many times because the scales made me depressed "what's the point?" "I don't get anywhere" and "all that work for nothing" - once after 18 months and going down 2 dress sizes I still through in the towel because the scales said I had only lost 6 kg. So, I am TRYING to ignore them and your post is a fantastic help. Congratulations!

    Wow! That's crazy! I wouldn't have imagined it was even possible to change that much and have the scale not move. You look great!!

    what's your height??? just curious.

    I have been stuck at 205/210 mark for about 2 months. It is driving me absolutely batty. I am at the gym 1 1/2 hours, 5-6 days a week. I just don't get it. People compliment me on my "losses" meanwhile I am stuck. Hearing your photos is encouraging, but I also don't want to fool myself into thinking I am doing well, but most 5'4 women should not be 205 lbs....

    Will buy a measuring tape tomorrow though
