    Well I never I was so sad this morning , I have been on this for a week, walked the dogs a total of 6 miles, swam 40 lenghs (crawl) and I put a pound on swam a further 40 lenghts while thinking why am I doing this.

    all my life the scales have done this to me so I found myself giving up... I am now going to kick every set of scales I see :)

    thank you for the post x

    I was driven to post a blog about this very thing today.

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/acresfield

    I have gained 7lbs in 20 days and lost 4% in body fat.

    If I had been weigihing myself every day then I would surely have chickened out before achieving this

    Looking good. The same thing is happening to me. The scale will not move .. but 3 weeks ago I measured. As of today, I have lost 2 inches in both my hips and waist. Bring on the muscle! I feel better and my clothes are looser. I just keep reminding myself to do what I am doing and it will pay off.

    I LOVE seeing this attitude - "Bring on the muscle!" Many of my friends in real life are baffled that I would rather be strong than skinny, but I'm glad my MFPs are on the same page as me :)

    I think something is wrong withthe scale. Those are HUGE results and the scale should reflect more than 1lb loss. Great work!:wink:

    I have noticed that my scale hasnt budged--but there is a definite change in my body--I try to just look in the mirror and SEE the change instead of concentrating on the scale when i get discouraged...Great job by the way You look awesome!

    Way to go! You look amazing!

    I was upset this morning because the scale had gone up 1.8 lbs. But at the same time I am wearing a pair of jeans that I havent worn in a long, long time. I can see all kinds of changes when I stand naked in front of the mirror. Still have a long way to go though :)

    Thank you!!! I can see my clothes fitting better, people tell me I have lost weight, and the F@#$%^&*&^%$ scale does not want to move much. Just seeing how someone else can change their body but not the scale really is a huge psychological boost. You did a great thing for a lot of people by putting that out there today. Thank you!!

    ^^^ DITTO TO ALL OF THIS!

    Everyone on MFP needs to see this, including me. I'm so happy someone linked this tread into another post. I originally wasn't going to take more pictures until I had lost 10 pounds. What a mistake! I'm taking measurements and pictures tomorrow to compare! Thank you so much!!
