    I have been feeling discouraged by my lack of pounds lost (started at 179, I'm 181 now) but I've lost a lot of inches. I wore a dress today that I had wore in June...look at that difference C9740F7E-5319-49B6-B6D9-4868FD74C6E2.jpg

      What a perfect example of how the scale doesn't reveal the entire truth! Well done!

      I'm training for a marathon and lift heavy 5 days a week, the chance of me actually seeing the number drop are slim to none...which is really discouraging

      Wow! Thanks for posting this! Your progress is amazing. The scale is such a dirty liar, but it can be so hard to ignore. Thanks for the reminder. :)

      Then don't look at that number! Look at your measurements number :) Or your sizes number. Obviously there is quite a difference between the two pics. Also....since you lift....you can focus on those numbers going up. ;)

      Either way...you look amazing! =D

      If you are lifting weights ..many times those folks don't lose pounds..but shrink! It is maddening.. but the photo doesnt' lie. you look way smaller.

      It's true and I think the hardest part is getting out of our own minds.

      I run 30 minutes days a week (up to 35 minutes this week) because I'm training for a marathon, I also lift heavy 4-5 days a week (5 if I skip yoga, 4 if I make it to yoga)

      Wow! A great reminder that the scale doesn't tell the whole story! You have clearly lost many pounds of fat, and built lots of compact, awesome muscle!

      Don't focus on the scale. Inches are what matters. Keep up the great work!

      I am having that situation as well .. I've been in a deficit of lose .5 lbs per week for 3 months now. The scale never did budge ___>but I saw myself not being able to fit clothes I could before and I also looked more slim and fit overall.
