Hello guys! I entered into a 2 month fitness challenge at my gym. It was actually only 6 weeks. It ran from April 16th to June 2nd! There were many contestants in my category but I won I won I won! I am so pumped and so excited. I lost about 9 lbs. and a ton of inches! I am going to scan the measurements and share them and I promise I will share the pictures as soon as my trainer emails them to me! Through this I have truly learned that the scale can sabotage you. I have been working out consistently with cardio and strength training with my trainer. At 178 lbs. I look smaller than I did at 165 lbs. a few years back! Seriously! I am sold on the idea of gaining lean mass and muscle and not always dropping a crazy amount of lbs. I was so use to losing 4 or 5 pounds a week, it was an adjustment! But I am proud to say that I have changed my mind set and will never allow myself to become complacent again and forget the value of working out consistently! We can do this guys! We just have to believe in ourselves and stay consistent! If you have a set back, by all means, dust yourself off and keep going! Believe Believe Believe! Only you have the power to take care of you!

    GREAT JOB!!!! I NOW NOTICE THE SAME, I'M SMALLER AND LEANER THEN EVER BUT MY WEIGHT DOESN'T REFLECT IT. WEIGHT IS JUST A NUMBER, THE RESULTS SHOULD BE YOUR TRUE MEASUREMENT! WE WILL GET THERE!!! WE JUST HAVE TO BELEIVE IN OUR SELVES.
