I wasn't expecting a loss on the scale this week, but I got one and finally broke into the teens! 219 pounds. It's been a few years since I have seen that weight! I am also down one more percent of body fat.

So since I started tracking 9'ish weeks ago, I have lost 9% of my body fat, dropped 22 pounds of fat and gained a little over 5 pounds of lean mass, for a total loss of 17 pounds on the scale.

By tracking measurements, body fat and lean mass, I am definitely learning not to get hung up on scale weight!
What is really funny is that I took a "sneak peak" at the scale last night before I went to bed (official weigh in is Saturdays), and my weight was almost 224, so I didn't think I was gong to show a loss this week. The good thing is that it didn't bother me. Now that's progress!

I knew I had been eating right (for the most part) and exercising like a beast, so I wasn't worried.
