Soooooooo, as of last wednesday I was down 9lbs and feeling awesome, I have been doing 30DS mixed with C25K and gym.

I hopped on the scales yesterday, and I was up nearly 4lb! So as you can imagine I was hugely disappointed, I have upped my calories as of yesterday and changed my macros to 40/30/30 and due to this change I am not weighing for a month, just going on how I look and feel and measurements.

My new best friends are progress pictures and a tape measure... I have DIVORCED the scales!!

I was still feeling a bit cr*ppy, so took some progress pics.

The ones on the left are about 1 month ago and the ones on the right are just now :)
(I understand my stance is different in the leg one but I wanted to show off my newly gained definition :happy: )

    You look awesome! I fluctuate 4 pounds overnight easily. I was 140 yesterday and 136 this morning, so don't think too much about it. Banishing the scale is a good idea. Measurements are FAR more rewarding anyway!

    Congrats on your work so far. Love your tats!

    Definitely more tone, girl! Keep up the great work! I'm avoiding scales too for now...it doesn't tell the whole story.

    yeah after look at your pics, you are one of those people that cannot measure your success with a scale :) ...something fun to do is to go to a second hand store and try on jeans, and buy some that only go up to the middle of your thighs...if you like progress pictures...you will LOVE taking a before and after of the jeans going from mid thighs to waist :)

    that's a good idea!! I actually have a pair of levi shorts that when I eventually get them up I can't do them up, I look like a sausage bursting out of its skin LOL .. I have pics of me with them on, so when I actually fit into them I'll take another pic and post it up!! :)
