The Pounds Won't Come Off... I DON'T CARE!

My weight loss journey started in the beginning of January, and I started going to the gym January 10. My starting weight was a squishy, flabby, unhealthy 210lbs...

I've been stuck at 170lbs. since July. I've been bouncing between 168-172 consistently, and it was driving me up the wall, but now... I just don't care! I can tell I'm still losing fat, so I'm hoping (praying) that it's because I'm building muscle.

So... Here's my "progresuccess" from January till today.

    155lbs. was my original goal, but now I'm just focusing on toning. Now, I weigh myself to ensure I'm not gaining unnecessarily rather than to track loss.

    Haha, oh my belly is anything BUT toned. It's definitely a lot smaller, but not toned, still very squishy. I can feel muscle under the couple of inches of fat that are still there, though, so ONE DAY it WILL be toned. :smile:

    I think it is a very healthy attitude! And I feel the same way...sorta. I have 50 lbs to lose to get NEAR a "healthy" BMI, but I look really good.

    this picture is a prime example of why the scale doesn't matter. Same shirt in both.

    You all look great. May I ask a technical question. What program do you use to get a before/after shot like the ones you posted and add the cool text to it?

    I also like the Myfitness scale that is at the bottom of your posts.

    The hard work is obvious!
    When the scale fails you--get out the measuring tap!
