I went to my doctor today and she is always telling me to lose weight and quit smoking. And today She said that I looked really amazing!! And I got to tell her I had quit smoking for a month now!!!! The funny thing about the looking good is yes I have been working my buns off doing cardio and weights but I havent lost any weight just inches but apprently you can tell!!! THIS MADE MY DAY : )

    aber, the scale can sometimes be a negative in weight loss. I know when I started, I used my clothing as a guide.....Id find a pair of pants that barely fit, really tight fitting ,then Id work towards fitting into them and then Id go the next size down

    I never threw out pants, started using 52 inch waisted pants and then would work my way down........Im now wearing 34s ......

    that scale would throw me, so Id get pissed and then Id cool off and go try on a pair of pants in the 30s and that would make a world of difference.........I keep saying ,scales arent a good venue to have while youre losing weight........they dont measure muslce gain as well...........again, I know everyones different , but for me I very rarely use a scale..Besides, when people see me, they say I LOOK great, they dont have a scale under me, weighing me to see how much I ve lost.............right

    great story as well as CONGRATULATIONS on not smoking........its hard, youre doing a great job..........Lloyd

    The first week was really hard but now its amazing! Last night I started a running program and it was AMAZING how well i could breathe. Just quit you will feel sooooo much better. Granted I did gain some weight back but it was worth it to me! Be strong you can do it!!!
