    The way I look in/out of clothes. I seem to lose inches more quickly than pounds.

    I care more about how I look, but the number is really what changes on a more frequent basis so I tend to get more caught up in that in a given week.

    The way I look, feel and fit in my clothes. The scale can't calculate my muscle growth or changes.

    Honestly: the number on the scale.

    I am trying to be more mindful that it is just a number, but it still holds some power over me. I think it stems from being overweight/obese my whole adolescent life and being picked on for being fat. When I started losing weight, I lost and lost and wanted an ever lower number because I wouldn't be made fun of if I was skinny was my thinking. I got to a weight that was not maintainable and affected my health. Since, I've gained weight and am much healthier now, but I'm always afraid of going back to the "old me."

    I am slowly changing my mindset that being strong and fit is more important than what I weigh. Honestly, no one knows how much I weigh, so why does it really matter?

    skinny is an insult to me...someone calling me skinny has motivated me to get off the track and get back in the weight room before...

    so, how I look.

    It seems like the lower the number on the scale, the better I look in and out of clothes. That being said if the number gets too low, well then, I'll just look sick. I kinda want that right now though :D

    Chasing a scale number to prove to myself I can get back to it. Honestly think I will want to go lower this time to target body fat percentage.

    Need a good waist to height ratio for health reasons.

    Want to look good in clothes because vanity.

    The way I look, but it took me a long time to realize the # on the scale means nothing if you aren't healthy.
