3 Doing something is better than doing nothing even if he scale does not show.
4 I refuse to give up on myself.
What are some of the reasons you keep going even when the scale does not move or sometimes even goes up.

i agree. for me its also the sense of control you feel over creating a healthier version of yourself, when it would be much easier to give into an unhealthy lifestyle, you remain strong keep up the good work!0

I'm much better at doing stuff:
I can move heavier furniture without being the "weakling" who can't hold up her end.
I don't get winded or tired when I have to walk (or run) a long way.
I can carry heavy stuff without a second thought.
I can do things like climb ladders and balance on the top rung while reaching and lifting stuff without falling or becoming exhausted.
Running with my dogs makes me feel happy.
Lifting weights makes me feel like a badass.
Eating right gives me energy for my busy life -- working full-time, school part-time, being a mom all the time.
Eating healthy food, sleeping well and working out has bolstered my immune system -- haven't been sick yet this year (knock on wood!).0 -

Oh, so much win in this discussion! Hoo-rah!!
I'll add:
While I do still have fat to lose and would like to see the scale go down, I have switched to focus more on fitness goals than weight goals. I'm strong and fit enough to do most of what I want to do and just keep getting fitter so I can play longer and harder and have more and more fun. Fun is now things like long bike rides, hiking steep hills, alpine scrambling, and will be soon learning some rock climbing and prepping for mountaineering. I plan to add in some snow-shoeing and x-country skiing. And I want to try SUP and wind-surfing. Maybe even real surfing. So being fit, strong, and fueling my body with nutritious food is more important than the scale.0 -
Keep going because you are worth it!0
