Let me start by saying: ME & THE SCALE HATE EACH OTHER!! When I tried losing weight before, I would get discouraged when I didn't see any weight loss, and I would quit!! NOT ANYMORE.. I've learned to put down the scale, & pick up the tape measure.

I woke up this morning feeling great, so I decided to measure myself. I've lost 1 inch off my upper waist, 1.5 inches off my lower waist, and 1 inch off my hips all within 7 DAYS!

I LOVE YOU TAPE MEASURE!! :heart:

    Measuring works great because a lot of the time you'll lose fat at the same time as you gain muscle and even if you gain a small amount of muscle compared to the loss of a larger amount of fat, you could see no actual weight loss at all, even though your body is losing the fat and becoming healthier. Keep on measuring!

    That is amazing I have also lost another inch from my waist whilst staying the same on the scale. It makes you feel so much better when the measure goes down. I know I have been working hard in the gym. No need for the scale to stick but it does x
  • Ahhh the good ol' tape measure! My new BFF! Me and the scale decided to part ways.. We only meet once every two weeks now.. its for the best! Inches are better than pounds anyways!! Congrats on the lost inches :bigsmile:
  • You just reminded me I really need to start measuring! I never did original measurements and I want to make sure I can see those changes when you aren't losing pounds - I know they happen!
