Great motiviation - going to print it and stick it on the fridge and on the bedroom mirror to remind me to stop jumping on the scales every day.
Loved this comment

this is wonderful i have been the same since june and actually up maybe 3-4 lbs....very depressing since i go to the gym 5 days a week and do bootcamp, kickfit, zumba, cyclefit and weights/machines. everytime i get on the scale it says the same thing but i feel as though im toning?! you look amazing thank you for posting this!!!0

GREAT post! I was "stuck" on the number on the scale thing (although i do have more to lose at this point after putting 15# back on (got lazy) after losing 67#.
I have said this time......I really don't care what the scale says as long as i can fit back in my clothes i wore 15# ago!
You look great!0 -
I'm with you all the way. I'm doing a challenge that requires weekly weigh-ins which is hard cause I don't own a scale anymore, so I don't have a choice but to go by clothes, and measurments... occasionaly, if I can get to the scale at work I'll step on it but of course it says the same thing for weeks at a time or very little changes with the loss. But my clothes don't lie. Things I've had in my closet thinkin' "I'll never get back into these" has made me a liar... I've even gave most of my jeans away (sigh). But I'm on a new path and nothing... includinding those damned numbers on thhe scale is gonna stop me. I'm on a mission! So thanx for the inspirational post cause I get it and you look fantabulous! Keep up the good work!0

I have read many of your posts and blogs and every time you make me stop re-think my obsession with the scale. Onward and upward. Thank you for continuing to remind us that the scale does not matter! I will continue with my cardio and my lifting schedule as planned. :happy:0

My two favorite quotes:
" It doesn't matter what the effect the earth's gravitational pull has on you at any given moment. No one knows that number but you. "
"The scale is a lying, cheating *kitten* who kicks puppies and takes candy from babies. Don't give it any power over you. "
I love those. And I'm stealing them. Thanks Lorina Lynn. You are seriously one of my favorite people on the board.0 -
Wowza! You look amazing! I'm going to keep coming back to this when the scale gets me down.0

My god, woman, you are stunning.
I'm going to bookmark this thread, to remind me how stupid my scale obsession can be.
I'm 5'4' AND 143LB and a size 8. Last year I weighed 130 and was still a size 8. I'm still aiming at 130 but you have reminded me to not obsess over the number.0 -
