SO PROUD!

God, I don't know if I'll EVER be a 5 or a 6 again! Lucky you! Great job!

That is awesome!!

P.S. How was the party? Better yet, how did you feel in "The Dress?" :bigsmile:

Way to go, great job.

So my gf has been losing weight and gave me her size 6 pants. The scale has been a steady 147. 146, 147, 146 pattern for days now, but when I put on the pants they are BIG, like I need a belt and they still look funny on me.

You know the scale can totally get you down when it doesn't move....and frustrations can be high and it has even caused the thought "Why am I doing this?" but then I put on pants like this and I see the progress and I AM SUPER HAPPY!

Thanks everyone for your continued support! I would not have come this far w/o you

That is awesome!!!! Congrats to you and keep up the great work!!!

The statement "If you follow the scale, you will fail" is something I had to learn over time. It appears that you have learned this lesson as well. A scale is NOT always the best predictor of fat loss, only weight loss. This is why I always use a string to measure the largest part of my waist (starting point) and track my progress by measuring my waist every morning and watch as my waist shrinks down in size. This allows me to see how many inches I have lost around my waist, rather than only viewing the scale which can fluctuate for many different reasons.

I have lost up to 2 inches off my waist without my scale even budging! I will post an example of this when I can find the pic. The changes are dramatic and most people would not believe that my scale weight had not gone down a single pound!

Anyway, keep up the good work!!!
