Progress... and why progress pics are better than the scale

caspergirl7

This is my 5 week progress... counting calories - eating around 1800 - and doing Insanity. I had only lost 4.5 lbs at this point, and was feeling frustrated and defeated and ready to throw in the towel based on what the scale was showing me. So glad I took the pictures... they tell a whole different story! I encourage anyone who is changing their eating habits and incorporating exercise to do this. I might have quit if I hadn't.

How often are you taking pictures?

That's what my doctor said, Forget about the scale just do exercise and it what you eat. how you feel and what your number are blood pressure etc.

This is exactly me. I am not patient, although I'm learning.

Insanity is hard- dripping sweat, collapse on the floor hard (if you put the effort in) and it does seem like progress should be more dramatic for me.

But, looking at your pics has renewed my motivation. I am 3.5 weeks in and haven't seen a lot of scale (maybe 1.5lbs) OR measurement change. I am tempted to drop calories or something.

Anyway, thanks for posting at the perfect time to remind me to keep going and that my body may be changing in ways that aren't easily measurable.

GOOD JOB- you look great!

I took them at 2 weeks and 5 weeks. Will take again at 7 weeks and then 9 weeks - the end of the program

Exactly! Thought the weight would just fall off... it hasn't, but the fat sure is. And I feel so much stronger and healthier.
