what's your height??? just curious.
I have been stuck at 205/210 mark for about 2 months. It is driving me absolutely batty. I am at the gym 1 1/2 hours, 5-6 days a week. I just don't get it. People compliment me on my "losses" meanwhile I am stuck. Hearing your photos is encouraging, but I also don't want to fool myself into thinking I am doing well, but most 5'4 women should not be 205 lbs....
Will buy a measuring tape tomorrow though0 -

I'm 5'6 That's great you're working so hard - I've had to change up my routine a number of times to keep my body changing, but I've still got a ways to go. And you ARE doing well!! 0 -

So stinkin awesome!!! You.Rock. I kind of have a similar thing going on....wish I took pics.0
-
WOW! You definitely look different!0

your replacing fat with muscles. you also have to measure your body fat. i agree if scale can be false positive, most athletes and body builders will agree to this.0

Woah! I would never ever think you were at similar weights! I too hate the scale so much
Same. I'm sitting at 207 right now and I would never guess that you even weigh 200. I would guess you around 190. But, I started lifting weights and I was getting frustrated at not seeing any results. I'm going to go take pictures right now. Thank you.0 -
Awesome post. Thanks for sharing!0

I so AGREE... and you look FABULOUS!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: 0

You are awesome and I love this. I've been getting discouraged because I'm almost 6 weeks into a lifting program and the scale hasn't moved. I think I'm gonna come look at this thread when I start feeling down about it. lol0

No worries It's a beachbody workout you can do at home - it is a mix of strength, cardio, and yoga for 90 days! 0 -
Oh wow! I have seen pics like this before but none so obvious as yours. you look great.0

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! You look so good!
How many inches (if you don't mind me asking) have you lost???0 -
So stinkin awesome!!! You.Rock. I kind of have a similar thing going on....wish I took pics.
Congrats on your amazing loss so far!!! It's never too late to start taking pictures 0 -
You rock! ...I need to remember to take more pictures instead of trusting the scale.

Thank you!
As for the inches...I wish I knew
I started MFP last July at 239 and took one photo and didn't start measuring and taking monthly photos until January. I could kick myself now bc I would really like to know! 0 -
This is such a great thread b/c the scale has barely moved for me since starting at the end of January 2012 but I have been lifting as well...So this is great to see such a difference even when the scale doesn't move....You look amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your pics!! :happy:0

WoW!! Great job!! I agree with you 100%!!! The scale can play huge mind games is horrible at times!! I only weigh in 2 times a month now. The scale is the same and hardle every moves but the measurments shows it all and how the cloths fit.. I agree put the scale away it does no good!!0

Great job! You look great! I too hate the torturous scale. I hate how it can add 2 lbs in an hour when I haven't eaten or drank anything. I don't think I will every understand it and I don't believe the rule that if you are under 3500 calories you lose a pound, because it certainly doesn't work that way for me sometimes.
Keep up the great work!0
