Yep, the scale is a liar...

….and here is more proof for you. My results below. Before on the left, after on the right.

There’s not much of a difference between pics – a tiny bit slimmer in the love handles/thigh area. Here’s the kicker – my AFTER pic is 2 lbs HEAVIER.

These are my 30 Day Shred Round 2 results. I did the 30 Day Shred 2 years ago, and decided it was time for a repeat. I have been on my “fitness journey” for over 3 years now. I lost about 20ish pounds 3 years ago, and have been in maintenance for about 2.5 years.

This time the shred took me about 50 days – 50% of the time I was eating at a small deficit (~10%), and watching my macros; and 50% of the time I was eating several hundred over maintenance daily (I was stressed in general, and simply didn’t track). I also ran 8-10 miles a week.

I just wanted to re-iterate the message – take pictures, take measurements…because the scale does not tell the whole story!!!
