in Health and Weight Loss
Getting frustrated with the scales not moving. I go to the gym 5 times a week and my shape has changed dramatically but the actual scales are not showing it. I know my instructor said its about inch reduction and not weight but I am starting to get fed up.

    Don't let the scales rule your life. Your trainer is right, and loosing inches is better than a stupid number on your scale. Be proud of the changes you have achieved.

    Everyone can see the size of your waist. No one sees the number on your scale but you. Your trainer is right! Do you take measurements and progress photos? Being able to see those numbers/photos improve may help.

    Omg stuff the scales! Ditch them and go for measurements. Much more satisfying to see waist reducing than being a 'goal weight'.
    Plus scales are so affected by hormones, water intake, salt etc why put yourself thru the stress
