My scale is a big fat liar...NSV...

It's been a while since I had NSV and this morning...I got one...

My partner hid my scale but two days ago I begged him for it and I took a peek: I gained 2.2lbs.

My measuring tape says I've lost 0 inches.

HOWEVER...

I woke up this morning wanting to believe something has changed...so...I took out my pre-preggo skinny jeans. The last time I put these one was 2 months ago and I could barely pull it pass my expanding thighs...so didn't even think of buttoning it...but this morning, not only did I put it on, I buttoned it! Yes, major muffin top issue and I probably can't sit down or eat BUT that's not the point!

So even though Jillian Michaels is kicking my *kitten* in RI30 and even though I've gained weight...this meant so much to me...

And it's confirmed: My scale is a *kitten* and he shall remain in exile till the unforseeable future.

    Hell yeah! All scales must die! Or something along those lines :)

    Keep on keeping on and pretty soon you'll be leaping around, doing star jumps and lunges and wot not in those jeans ;)

    Congratulations! I always have fun laughing when people tell me I "lost so much weight" when in that time period I had gained two pounds (but looked so much better). I think another NSV is finally realizing the number on the scale isn't everything. Sounds like you are doing an awesome job. :smile:

    Me too! My scale says I've lost the 2.6 lbs I gained two weeks ago but otherwise haven't lost more. The measuring tape says I've lost like, 2 inches total but ALL of my clothes fit better...or not at all! I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this!

    Congrats! What a great NSV!! Pretty soon you will be able to sit in those jeans and look really hot! My doctor's scale is a liar also :) I weighed myself at home the morning of my appointment and it said that I was 143-my Dr's scale said I was 147. I told her that it was a liar and she agreed with me :)

    Amen, sister! I gained 1.5 lb in the last week (bummed big time) but then turned right around and put on a skirt I couldn't even breathe in a year ago - and wore it all day! I've banned my tape measure, too - since I always seem to put on inches in my thighs, which really hurts my heart, even if I'm down 2 sizes. Damned squats... and since I'm not about to stop the squats & lunges, the thunder thighs are here to stay & the tape is in hiding. LOL

    Ok people, sometimes I miss the obvious. What does NSV mean?
    The scale is evil, I'm doing a weight lost challenge at our local gym and every week I have to step on the scale 3-5 times and every time it's different. Not 1-2 lbs but like 6-10 lbs, nobody else in the group has this problem. The machine hates me, so today we measured my waist and Woohoo! 3 inches less! I'm liking the tape measure better.

    It means Non-Scale-Victory =)

    It's so true! When the scale was in sight, I'd weigh myself all the time, sometimes 2-3x a day! And I know in my head that I obviously didn't gain 2 lbs of fat within hours but it still affected me so much. Same thing with the measuring tape, it's just a new obsession!

    I really was shocked when I buttoned up my jeans today. I had to suck my stomach in but two months ago I could hold my breath all day I still couldn't button them up!

    I hate the scales too, victory to non-scale times. I weigh myself but I also hate the scale because my scale says 239 but my pants I should be 200.

    Something similar happened to me. I gained 2lbs (not sure about inches) and I decided to try on some jeans I have NEVER been able to fit. I could never pull them up my butt all the way and I got the buttoned. Although I would never where them in public, lol. It was a great feeling.
