Hello, to be honest I'm shocked I'm even writing this, as for me I usually go it alone but using this app to keep a food diary, but I've never really given it a good go.
So tonight I learnt there was a community and walla I'm here.
Ok even saying my weight cringes me but I'm trying to throw caution to the wind and just go forth.
I weighed two weeks ago at 203 pounds my heaviest ever, since then I've been at the gym and trying to do 10k every day today I had a rest day I feel my legs needed it.
So tbh I'm afraid to get on the scales even though I really want to as I feel lighter, but I do have that fear of it saying " NO WEIGHT LOSS", yes I know it's not all about the scales and it's how you feel but really if that number changed in my weight going up then it must come down![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
It really is a motivator I guess, but a scary one at that!
Anyways I seen all these great success stories and thought why not introduce myself and give it a go.
So " hello" once again

Hi
I also have a small fear of the scales saying no weight loss but I'll bridge that gap when I come to it. If you work hard at it the weight will come down and I know that being on these message boards means that you can get help, support and encouragement for everyone around. Good luck with it0 -
Welcome, and, hi! Here's to good health! Add me if you are looking for friends!0

Thank you both.0

Don't just rely on the scale. Take measurements and pictures. They can be motivating when the scale isn't. I also go by how my clothing is fitting. If you are looking for friends feel free to add me!0

vettim16 has some good advice. Don't rely on the scale because your body realigns itself as you lose weight and gain muscle. Remember - muscle weighs more than fat, and STRONG is the new SKINNY!!! I suggest trying on a piece of clothing that is tight, once a week. I have lost out on wearing some items because I didn't think I lost enough to fit in them, but when I did try them on- they were already loose. Good luck and welcome!0

I agree 100% I weighed today and lost 5kg as I hadn't weighed in two weeks but felt slimmer in clothes, I did also take pics two weeks ago so in around 6 more weeks I'll take more to compare.
Thanks for your advice, it's very much appreciated

For sure do the measurements and not just weight. It's kinda cool losing an inch here and there even when the weight is slow to come off.0

Too right
thanks

Hi. Best of luck to you in reaching your goals! I can't tell you how many evil thoughts I've directed at my scale. Now I just see it as data to be analyzed.0
