Take Measurments, stop listening to the scale!! (with pics)

I am in no way done with my journey, I have approx 30-35lbs to go until I'm at my goal weight and about 15 to hit a healthy bmi number. I restarted this journey after two months ago after losing 50lbs and process halted. In the past two months I've lost 12lbs and most recently last month I only lost 6. I didn’t take measurements or pics the first month and that was a HUGE mistake. I just wanted to post this for anyone out there upset or frustrated with their progress scale wise.

On July 19th I made a pact with some other fellow MFP posters to not weigh for a whole month!! It was both exciting and frighten at the same time because I’m a scale addict however it’s been about two weeks and by taking the number out of the equation I have been able to focus on my fitness levels and really pay attention to my nutrition and how things are affecting how I feel and my energy levels. If you are like me and the number would start to drive you insane or make you feel down I would strongly recommend taking pictures and measurements and ditching the scale for a bit (If only a week or two) and I guarantee it will help you to feel a lot better and put the "for life" of this journey into perspective.

Anyway, Here’s some pics just a month difference. The yoga pants I’m wearing are a size small and where extremely tight last month but I'm slowly getting there!! There’s only 5lb difference between the two but soooo many inches.. My bust size has even decreased from 38-36" so please do not just look at the scale, eventually your weight will catch up with your body but give it time and notice the changes that are happening! I feel so much stronger and tighter already :-)
