The Scale Don't Know Sh**

So I started on MFP 11 months ago. At the time I was starting a Biggest Loser competition at work. I got my body fat percentage tested and it was 43.2% and I weighed 201 lbs. Over the year I have done really good (got down to 188 lbs) then went through a rough divorce and gained it all back. I've slowly started to lose it again, but I can definitely tell I have toned up quite a bit. I don't know what my body fat percentage is at now, but I will be starting Biggest Loser for a second time this coming January and I'll get retested. I am pretty excited to see the results/difference. I'm currently at 194 lbs. Long story short.....7 lbs lost...but look at the difference. The numbers on the scale are meaning less and less to me. And I don't mind that.

That's really great, you can see the biggest difference in your stomach - which is my problem area too. We have very very similar body types!

Same things happening to me. Im "down" 9 pounds but you can tell BIG time. More inches than pounds. Im starting to think my scale is broken.0

Thank you for posting this. I have been getting discouraged as of late working consistently for over a month now. I keep forgetting that the scale only tells one part of the story. I wish you continued success with your workouts

I've mostly been doing cardio. Running mostly. Elliptical every now and then. I have been doing 30 Day Shred off and on for the past couple weeks...I am HORRIBLE at sticking with one thing...aside from running. Love it.0
