three belt holes down...

Options
i'll be needing a new belt soon, but i can't seem to shift the scales in the right direction really.

i've lost 2kg since i started trying to lose weight (again) in september. that's not as much as i wanted to lose, but im very happy with the three belt holes!

maybe it's because ive been mixing resistence training with cardio, building muscle etc...

anyway, im treating it as a success story so far :bigsmile:

    well done ! 3 belt holes is quite a difference. The scales may not show the figures you are hoping for if you are doing resistance training as muscle weighs more than fat, but its not all down to what the scales shows, change in shape is just as important. Good luck and keep up the good work :)

    Well done mate. Don't beat yourself about about the scales. you can lose 3kg of fat and put on 2kg of muscle....only 1kg loss right??? 3 belt holes is a much better gauge.

    Keep it up

    I have had the same thing going on. I agree with the above poster in that the belt is the big thing. Scales are a tool to get the big picture over a large amount of time but the belt is a MUCH better way of measurement. Keep doing what you are doing!
