Hello, Needing as much support as possible... I'm NOT giving up, but its very frustrating. I need to lose 30-40 pounds. :sad:
I'm on Day 11 of 30DS.
You can have a handful of people that are all the same weight, but look completely different. I know some of you LOVE weighing yourself and knowing that number, but don't let it control you when the number isn't what you want. Focus on how you feel, how your body looks, how your clothes fit, and measurements. You may lose inches, feel stronger, and start noticing areas that look more trimmed and/or toned, but only lose a pound or two if any. Don't let that get you down. I have clients that are so focused on the number as well, but then I show them all the inches they've lost and the huge drop in their body fat %. Non-scale victories are the BEST in my eyes!
