    You lost 2 inches from your waist in a week and you're frustrated? :huh: Maybe you need to change your expectations a little, or you are definitely going to struggle long term. :flowerforyou:

    (Also - I would have thought losing inches would have a bigger impact on what you look like in the pictures than losing lbs)


    (also - get in the pictures anyway, if the occasions are that special.)

    Quite often when you begin to downsize your weight wont go down immediately. Particularly if your exercising, you likely built up some new muscle mass while burning off the fat (muscle weighs more).

    Don't get disheartened. 2 Inches is proof that what your doing is working. Just remember - slow weight loss is healthy weight loss.

    I agree with the other poster. Honestly, weight is just a number, one tool in tracking your progress. A few weeks ago I was talking to my friend about our health goals. We both discovered to our astonishment that we weighed the same (220 at the time), we are the same height (5'4), but she was a size 24 and I was a size 16! So case in point, the number didn't mean a darn thing, but rather our body types. You can lose weight, but not lose inches and vice versa. Personally, I'd rather the inches go away and keep the lbs if I had to choose one or the other. :)
