NSV - Because the scale hates me, I turned somewhere else.

After the scale told me that I gained ten pounds in a week, (Yep. 10.) I knew I couldn't rely on it to accurately track my progress. Thanks to a suggestion from a pal on here, I've started taking my measurements.

Today, I woke up to the wonderful surprise of losing 1.5 inches off of each of my thighs (BIGGEST PROBLEM AREA).

Honestly, I'm doing a little dance right now that might just turn into a full-on broadway number because I'm so happy.

NSVs for the win!

    great job! my biggest regret is not taking my measurements when i started back in january. i used the notches on my belt as a substitute, but it wasn't the same.

    keep up the good work!

    Yay! Good for you! Your progress can not be fully expressed by the number on the scale! Sooo many factors cause the number to jump up and down! For that reason, I only weigh every couple weeks. It helps me keep my sanity!

    The metal monster lies, but the tape measure doesn't!

    I absolutely wish I'd have taken measurments. My scales HATES me and it secretly cackles at me when I get off. I swear I heard it snicker at me last time!

    That's ok, though, I hid it in the closet as a punishment til it can behave!
