1mo progress- the scale doesn't tell the whole story!

Seeing those numbers, you'd think nothing had changed- but I've gone from a waist of 31in to a waist of 27in, hips of 41 to 39, and am starting to fit into my old clothing again! My skin is clearer, my sleep is better, and I actually WANT to go work out!

Even if the scale says nothing has changed... it's entirely possible more is going on than you think.

    Thanks for this good reminder. I haven't taken measurements in a while and I'm at a point where the scale creeps, if it moves at all.

    You've got a rockin' bod, btw.

    So true! My scale hasn't changed in two weeks and I was getting really discouraged, but when I measured myself this morning, I was down a half inch on my waist and 0.75 inches on my stomach! Measurements very much help me stay motivated!

    Just yoga 2x a week, eating a high protein, low carb diet at my BMR, and lifting weights.

    so true.. I've been trying to the lose the baby weight and I've been stuck at 170's for the past 3 mths but I've been able to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes. I was a size 17 when I started working out and now I'm a size 9 in the space of 3 mths in which the scale haven't moved much. So inches counts more than lbs.

    Keep up the good work.!!!!
