I was shocked

So today was the day. The first weigh in and measurement day since I started with my personal trainer. I was kind of scared to see the results. I started to weigh myself yesterday and saw the scale go in the wrong direction but I told myself that it was just residule from TOM. I was correct. I didn't loose anything from last week but a total of 9.5 lbs since I started just over a month ago what shocked me was I lost almost 10 inches with 4.75 of it being from my waist alone :noway: . I actually did a happy dance in the measurement room. I knew I was wearing a belt so my low rise jeans weren't falling a little too low :blushing: but I had no idea. So what they say is true the scale does not give the whole story need to check your measurements too.

    You've inspired me to measure too as I haven't seen my scales move much recently, lets hope for a few inches instead. Well one and keep it up. x

    I'm the same size I was in my 20s and early 30s but I weigh 10 pounds more. I've also never worked out like this. I'm finding muscles I never knew I had. I just have to let go of what I think I should weigh and feel good that things are getting firmed up. A tape measure is a much more accurate indicator that what you're doing is working.
