Good Morning Y’all
I almost did it…I almost got on the scale this morning but I stopped myself. I have been doing so good with my excercise (60 min, 3 miles, 400 calories on the treadmill and every other day 40 min with Tony Little strength training) and my diet has been packed with good carb’s high protien and low fat calories totaling around 1200. So I was anxious to get on the scale and see if there has been a result but decided that I am feeling a little sore so there is possibility that I could have gained some muscle or could be retaining some fluid around those sore muscles. If I got on the scale and the number had risen I would be devestated that all my hard work was a waste of time so I am not going to risk it. I will just keep plugging along and let my clothes measure my success. I also wanted to give everyone a good motivational song…”Stronger Woman” by Jewel, very inspirational. Well that is about it. Have a great day everyone.

You go girl, you be that “Stronger Woman!” I love that song!!! Thanks for the motivation! I hear ya on the whole scale thing, and I’m right with you on letting our cloths measure our success!! Keep up the hard work, it will pay off!
I weigh myself at my mom’s house that way I am not tempted to do that everyday. then sometimes when I am there I forget and when I get home I am mad at myself for not going thru that torture.
It is possible you may have gained pounds on the scale from muscle, so dont let that number get you down. Once your body catches up to you, the numbers on the scale will steadily decrease as you lose weight. Also, pay attention to how your body feels, that is how you will know if you are making a difference or not. The scale is just numbers, but you know your body and you will know if you are losing. keep up the great work!
Great job in staying off the scale. It’s hard to resist sometimes. I kept my calorie intake around 1200 for a while until I hit a plateau. After listening to Jillian Michaels, I increased it to about 1500 calories - base on my exercise level.
Sounds like you are on the right track. Keep up the good work.
