What the F***

So I'm having a hard time figuring out how this works. I am in better shape this year than last year this time However, My clothes don't fit??? WTF!?!?!? How is that even possible?

I just finished the 30 day shred, and am now doing ripped in 30. I look better naked now than I have in years. How is it my clothes aren't feeling the same way? WOW this is discouraging. Not going by a scale, or measurements. I am doing progress photos and WOW it's a huge difference but apparently not in my clothes from last year. Now, I understand that clothes that sit in the closet for a year are usually a little "stiff" but this isn't some slight change. I just don't understand.

Tell me I'm not alone!!!!!

    I've had that happen.. and it is discouraging... but look at the bigger picture... you can honestly say you look better naked.. so who really needs clothes anyway? lol

    Thanks for the encouragement. I think its just kinda of disappointing. I mean to have all the perks. Clothes fitting better, r numbers on the scale, looking better naked. I guess it's kind of impossible to have all of it. Oh well!

    Chances are you've gained a bit of muscle so where the clothes used to be tight because of fat are now tight because of muscle.

    but regardless of how she looks naked, NOONE looks good in ill fitting clothes. :laugh:

    OP it's possible that you are retaining water from the type workouts you are doing.
  • Dont freak out! Just focus on your goals. If your clothes dont fit but you look more toned you gained muscle mass! Thats what you should be looking for anyway, now ur body will burn more calories. keep motivated and u will get to where u want to be doll :) that's happened to me before but you cant let it get you down.

    I live in AZ. Jeans aren't even a question until about this time of year. First time I've worn anything besides summer clothes :)
