Just wanted to give a shout out on how exciting it is to see results in the tape & be so carefree on the scale.
to not have a goal weight but a goal bf% ... my results are so much more encouraging!!
When i use the scale: i get excited over a few lbs down but still can't fit comfortably in my pants
When i measure: i get stoked to see my W & H reducing... my B can be a tricky lil guy - but my pants have gone from over-snuggly holding at my waist, to almost falling off of my hips...
that's all, just see all these posts about weightloss & goals (all good & well) and wanted to not forget about the emphasis of loosing inches not LBs...
