Hi there!

Here's to a good month and accountability!

Good luck fitfam! Hope we're all a bunch of losers by months end!

Thought I share a post I put in the Feb, weight loss challenge:

Hope y'all are seeing the results you were hoping for.
Remember to not focus too much on the number you see on the scale, the scale doesn't tell you the full story. If you are exercising hard, lifting, playing sports, etc. you could be putting on muscle. It is best to use the scale in conjunction with a measuring tape. I do recommend a ribbon or cloth tape measure, over a metal one. The metal ones can pinch and are harder to bend.

Together the two tell a better story and you can even track it on your profile.
I measure my waistline, neck, chest, biceps, forearms, thighs and calves. The main thing for most people to track are the neck and waist, the ladies may also want to measure their hips, as the hips don't lie.

To that note, I am down two full inches in my waistline.

Also, something that has helped me was using a digital food scale. When I was seeing my best results I was weighing EVERYTHING! I was surprised at how much I was going over on some items when I was eyeing it. Even protein powders that came with a measuring cup, I was using more than a serving. Where the label stated a scoop as a serving it also said 39 grams, when I decided to weigh a scope it was coming in at 50 grams. Yes that is minor but in the game of counting calories a little here and there can add up fast.

Again, good luck my fellow losers!
