    Yup, the scale is a lying SOB. This is further proof that one can drastically improve body composition by maintaining/gaining weight. Looking good!

    Thank you! I posted it in the success stories section but the responses weren't so kind.

    After chasing the scale for so long it really is hard to see it go up but visuals are a great way to remind myself to keep on keepin' on.

    :happy:

    Rawr! That's a pretty inspiring transformation. Even though I'm just starting out (again), I have to keep reminding myself that strengthening my body is what's going to trim more inches than counting my calories.

    Thank you. :)

    I have lost over 90 lbs in the last few years and was around 150 lbs in the first pic and just over 160 lbs in the second.

    Awesome job!!!! but you look very defined now...it's quite possible you've lost weight and gained muscle mass. Just speculation if you doubt the number try a different scale, maybe just a friends before you toss the old one

    Great illustration of why chasing the lowest number on the scale is not the be all and end all. You look fantastic, well done!
