i'm feeling a bit down today, it's my 2nd week of 30 DS and i've not lost anything since last friday. i'm also doing lot's of cardio too. i can see a difference in my face and legs but i'm so hung up on the scales- my brain just won't acept that muscle weighs more than fat.
i'm not gonna stop or anything. it would be great to her some stories that started the same but had great results.

    I'm on day 26 and haven't lost much weight since the beginning. But I don't care... I lost 3" around my waistline and my butt actually starts to look good!

    Would be okay with being 10 lbs lighter and still look the same as today? I suppose no... Then the contrary should be true too. What's important is the way you look, not the number on the scales. Take measurements so you feel like you're progressing and don't forget before/after pics!

    I only lost about 6 pounds total the entire time I was doing the 30DS, but the inches I lost were what mattered the most. I lost a ton around my midsection and stomach, my thighs, and my butt. Hang in there. It's not all about that dreadful scale.

    Personally, I didn't lose a ton of weight, but I dropped about 4 inches from hips! I'll take inches lost over pounds everytime!
