    YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!!!

    Thank you so much for posting this! I have lost 25 pounds since January, but feel like I am working so much harder than that. I have played with .8 of a pound for 3 weeks. It was driving me crazy! I can tell that my body has changed for the better, but it is frustrating. Now, thanks to you, I know I'm not alone!

    You look greatly different. I do agree that the scale lies. I have lost inches and never lost a pound. Keep up the great work.

    You do look amazing! Great work! You worked hard and it shows :happy: I agree...I've had issues with my scale not moving lately, or going up a pound or 2. But I've had success with Non Scale Victories. My clothes are fitting looser, my body looks more toned, and I have muscles in places I never knew existed. I know I'm eating right and exercising daily even if the scales don't show it :wink: I've decided to focus more on FIT and less on LBS lost. Thanks for posting your success, it's a great encouragement!!

    You look great. I am curious, how difficult is P90X by the way? I have some physical limitations with nerve issues in my spine and was curious if one could do a toned down version. What are your thoughts on this?

    Fabulous!! You look awesome. I stopped weighing myself, too. I lost 4 inches in three weeks but the scale didn't move. Now I just use the measuring tape. :-)

    Congrats!

    Which goes to show that muscle is distributed differently but may even weigh more than fat or as I describe it "flab" lol.. I always see it like a cotton ball and a marble "steelie" the same size..One is almost weightless while the other is dense and so weighs much much more. I kind of compare that to our flab before we get toned up..:)

    Wow, that's amazing! My friends keep telling to stop weighing, but I'm obsessed. You're a good reason to STOP!

    Hello everyone!

    Upon urging from a few of my MFPs here, I'm posting the below picture. The photo on the left is from Jan 1st when I weighed 202lbs - the photo on the right is from this morning when I weighed 203lbs. Since January, I've done P90X and I'm finishing up month 1 of Insanity.

    Just goes to show your body can change and the scale won't show it ONE BIT. If I didn't take photos and measurements, I would surely be insane by now.

    thank you so much for posting this. I needed to see this. It is also motivating me to toughen out with my insanity. I have not been able to get thru day 2

    IGNORE THE TORTURE DEVICE aka the scale!!
