Very strange to have my clothes all getting so big, but the number on the scale doesn't move! The only thing I can gather is that all that flab is turning to fab! I'm developing muscles!! Weird for someone who HATES exercise!

  • Great isnt it!!!! them inches count!!
  • I guess the positive side is that you're the only one who sees the scale - everyone else will notice the large clothing/less you!!
    Scale can be so up and down so better to focus on inches!! Nothing like the feeling of having your clothes getting larger! Great job!:drinker:

    That is exactly correct! As you excersise more your muscles begin to develop. Muscles sometime weigh just as much as fat. In the check in module there is a place to take your waist, hips and neck measurements. These are 3 of the highest fat areas on your body. Start keeping track of these areas and you begin to see what is happening...Eventually after developing the muscles the weight will start coming off too.
