I just don't care anymore.

I am so with you! I weigh 140 and wear a size 4 pant--I look better than I ever have cause of muscle and listening to your advice about eating more, not less. Yesterday I zipped up my size 2 pants from 3 years ago when I weighed 127 and had zero muscle. My guess is they'll fit perfectly again in 3 months and I'll weigh 136.

Screw the scale!

LOVE THIS! I just upped my weight goal since I realize it does not matter what the scale says. And I love eating more!
Great job - really, fantastic and I love the pictures.

You look amazing!! Thank you for sharing your stories, so inspirational. I just upped my calories because i was afraid to go past the 1200- i'd eat below that just because that's what I used to do too (the wrong way) now i'm going for the right way and to not focus on the scale THAT much

This totally motivated me. Seriously. Thank you so much!

I love your post, and you look incredible!

Wow, you are such an inspiration!!!! You look amazing!!!

Thank you SOOOO much for this post! My weight is hovering right under 150. A month ago it was 150.4, last week it said 147.4 and this morning it said 149.4. Ugh. But I LOOK better (yoga is working wonders for my arms) and my waist has shrunk by almost an inch.

I feel that part of my weight fluctuation is due to eating foods that don't sit well with my system, and have finally decided to become diligent about avoiding processed carbs (mostly wheat) and completely eliminating dairy (casein allergy and lactose intolerance). I feel like my weight will settle naturally, but again, THANK YOU for this post. Obviously, physical results are the ultimate goal, but it is just too easy to use the scale as a benchmark.

YOU look phenomenal and it's so cool to see how different one person can look at the same weight.

You look good girl!

You look amazing! Such an inspiration to read this post! Thanks for sharing! Thanks! Thanks! And thanks!

BUMP BUMP BUMP.

I was 122 in April of 2011 and am working on getting back there. But in April I was eating 1300 and working out 6 days a week. (I teach spinning, run , and lift). My Mom died of cancer in June and I gained 10lbs slowly since then, without too much of a caloric increase, it seemed. I tried losing it by getting back to my 1300 from August till November, when I finally had driven myself so crazy that I went to a nutritionist. I learned I was killing my metabolism, and my nutritionist now has me NETTING 1300, eating between 1900 and 2200. Freaked at first, and gained a bit as we slowly increased my calories, which was torture, but I am coming around to this new way of thinking. I think my measurements are coming down in tiny increments now, at least. Just waitin for that old scale to catch up.

I'm at 132-ish, and in the last year I have done a lot of lifting, so I know I have gained substantial muscle along w/ the fat, which I'm hoping means I won't even need to hit 122 to feel as good about how I looked as I did then. I get married in August. Fingers crossed that I can get to a happy place by then!

Thank you so much for this post. Exactly what I needed to read!

Absolutely amazing! I wish every teenage kid I see trying to starve themselves down to beauty would read your post. Thanks for sharing!

Good job! When you increased your calories, were you also doing low carb? I find that's the trick for me.

I am so glad I saw this story. This is what happens with me and I was getting discouraged. I am getting so toned and losing inches but not seeing it on the scale-but slowly but surely. Thanks, you help me not to give up.

you look sooooooo great! not to sound funny....but your butt is killer! I have learned recently that the scale SUCKS and it's the inches that really count!

I love your posts and comparisons! Very motivating and inspiring.

awesome way to show off the difference!!! I am on the same page as you! The scale cannot prove this or that anymore with awesome fitness and eating more. thank you for sharing!!
