    I hate the damn scale lately.............it seems to be sabotaging me, and I need to put it away!!!

    .............but it taunts me...................it sits there and says "go ahead, step on me, you know you want to.........you've been such a good girl...............go on, DO it." And then I do, and it disappoints me, and I get upset.

    So, am thinking I should put it away for a couple of weeks.

    (although I probably won't!)

    Am going on a trip to Cancun in about a month. I would love to lose JUST a little more before that....................just get under 160. OH well......................it certainly won't ruin my trip!!!

    Gahh, this is exactly me. It ticked me off so much last week that I had a food tantrum and now I'm still up 3lbs 10 days later. I'm thinking about putting the scale away for a while too. But I haven't been able to yet.

    Thanks god I'm not the only one, I started measuring because for the last month I haven't lost anything, and I've been even gaining despite all my efforts, but happy because I know that clothes from last weekend still fit me, so it must have been a massive water retention from my period, now that I've just had it the weight seems to be going down again, but I always kept measuring and I was glad to see centimetres off the waist, like you!! I got rid of those horrible love handles, yours have vanished!! congratulations!:D

    Prepictures and during pictures tell the real story! I've lost a few pounds on the scale and bounce around. But when I look at the preworkout pictures and the newest pictures - You can see the difference. Muscle always weighs more than fat. Keep up the good work be healthy and fit.

    That is just a 1.5 difference? wow! good to know. i am a scale freak but trying to win the fight with myself about numbers dont matter. This definitely helped with that. I think i am going to stop weighing and watch my body instead. Thanks for sharing. you definitely motivated me!

    Exactly the same here, but never forget to take measures, however it's still depressing to see the weight going up when your measures are going down, as deep down we know they both should be going down, in my case I've just found it it must have been my PMS that retained so much water. :D

    Wow, thank you so much for the positive feedback! :smile:

    For those who asked, I have been lifting weights about 3 times a week (New Rules of Lifting for Women) and I go boxing twice a week. I also try to keep my macros around 40/30/30 (carbs/protein/fat).

    If I can do this, anyone can.
