Results!

Here's to motivating/encouraging fellow MFP-ers! So you know how you always hear, "don't pay attention to the scale"? Well most of us bigger girls want to pay all our attention there.

For example: I initially dropped 25 pounds (205 to 175) so I kept watching the scale. Then I plateaued and got discouraged and stopped looking at the scale and stopped trying so I was up to 190 and looked at the scale and was like :O About 3 weeks ago I started taking control again and here's the deal.

I started again at 190 and initially dropped 5 pounds (185 right now), and am at a plateau, again. BUT this time I kept going and I have noticed my weight staying the same. Results? My results are in my daily workout, I can do more that I could 2 weeks ago AND I am now toning in my arms and legs. My weight is staying the same, but my muscles are toning. Yes, my goal weight is 135-140 but that is just that. My dream weight. If I end up at 145 and am looking like I want, I will stop there and maintain. I do know I have a bit to lose, but taking it 10 lbs at a time helps! I am 20 lbs down!

Don't pay TOO MUCH attention to the scale, but do pay a little. It really helps to take a picture of yourself once a week in your underwear (or nothing, I just prefer underwear in case someone finds my phone and guesses my pass code.. O.o) and go from that, in a few weeks or months compare your very first picture with your most recent one, viola.

Hope this helps someone!\
