    I hate the scale and now have even more motivation to throw it out than ever. Over the past 7 months of consistency, determination, & dedication to fitness and nutrition, I have watched the scale go up....and then go down..only to land at the same spot. This has been going on way too long. Thank God for pictures! If I would only base my results on the scale, I would've given up a looong time ago.

    Here are two pics of me. I weigh the same in both pics, but I have lost a lot of fat and gained muscle. Check out that Tricep muscle! LOL...Can't help it, I'm excited!

      I love when women focus more on getting stronger rather than getting "skinny". You look amazing and healthy!
      Muscle > Bones :wink:

      This is so encouraging, because my scale isn't moving either although I'm doing lots of strength training. Great work!

      Awesome! I took pictures at the first of the year and haven't lost as much as I had hoped since then. I work out hard though so perhaps I will take pictures again and hopefully see a difference. Thanks for the inspiration!

      You look great!

      So are you doing weight traiing instead of cardio? Can you give a little more info?

      I do both- I try to do strength training atleast 3 days a week. Usually I will go to a class at the gym.
      Or my gym offers bootcamp type workouts that incorporate both Cardio and strength training.
      I would say about 1-2 x's a week I will do straight cardio i,e...running on the treadmill, Or do a TurboFire Excercise..(not sure if you're familar with Turbofire) but it's a workout video by CHalene Johnson. She's awesome!

      I just started Insanity On Monday and am hoping that Will take me even further :)
