in Health and Weight Loss
i know a lot of people deal with this, and someone from another post shared this link. it's a blog from a girl on a different weightloss site (spark people) and i think everyone on here will find it *very* insightful. pass it around!

    That's insane, thanks so much for sharing. Makes me feel better about getting on the scale and not seeing the numbers drop like I would like to.

    Thank you for posting this. This is SO nice to see! This is the beginning of my 3rd week here and I lost a lot the first week but have lost nothing since...BUT my body is showing a huge difference from when I started. Trying not to get discouraged but it's hard when you see the number stay the same after you are doing everything right!! Again, thank you!!

    That's a great blog! I know sometimes I get really wrapped up in the number on the scale too. It's nice to see that sometimes that number on the scale really doesn't matter.

    That's an eye opener for sure! Thanks for sharing! I've only relied on the scale so far; haven't taken pictures or measurements. But, this blog makes me want to take some pics! (I may never post them.... but, I'd like to see the changes!) :bigsmile:

    WOW, she looks amazing! It can be hard to not 'lose' weight each week, but she's right, there is such a difference in fitness that it doesn't matter what the scale says! Thank you so much for posting that link...I'm usually 'weary' of clicking on sites (never know if it is a virus or not, but this was totally worth it!)

    I hope I can take pictures like that someday!!!

    Wow - that is great! Thanks for sharing that. Makes me feel a little better about being stuck at the same weight for 6 months now. All my hard work has not been for nothing.

    I soooo needed this. Thank you so much for posting it. I was just grumbling this morning to my husband about this very same thing. I weigh myself every stinking morning (because I'm a scale addict I suppose). For a while that was a great motivation tool for me. Now, I feel stuck. I am doing everything the way that I should, but my weight does this 1/2 lb up or down thing daily!!!! Everyone at work keeps asking how much Ive lost on a weekly basis because they say my body looks different (and my clothes feel different), but the truth is I haven't really lost anything major in well over a week! I've always heard that muscle weighs more than fat and that you need lean muscle to lose fat. This is great proof of that very statement. Again, thank you so much for posting it =)
