    I think this is very good point. Currently, I only stand on the scale. I sort of wish I measured my hips, waist, chest, etc before starting my diet so I could see the inches lost, not just pounds.

    I did all my measurements before I started and was amazed at how many inches I lost. It was dfeinitely a huge motivator. Went from a size 10 to a 6. Sadly, I'm not losing pounds or inches now.

    down by 0.2 pounds since last week, 2.4 since I started Jan 1. Fat %age down from 29.1 last week to 28.4 this weekend. Muscle mass up from 90.2 pounds to 91 pounds. And, myfavourite, metabolic age down to 30, from a high of 33 in the last 5 weeks. Wahoo!

    Inches are not spectacular, down 2.27 combined since starting Jan 1....

    According to DH I am looking better though. Not sure if it's the drugs, the friendly bacteria supplements, the crazy restricted diet, the pretty good exercise level....but he says the loompa (as in oompa) that is my bloated belly, is getting smaller, less loompy. Yay!

    Yes, it's hard to stay motivated all the time. I stick to my own rules. Only use the scale once a week. Don't cheat the night before. All conditions the same each week....at least it's consistent that way.

    Keep it going, ladies, and Mr. S., you're doing fabulously!!

    Hugs and butterflies,

    Well, I did the weigh in this morning and I'm down 0.8 pounds. Please note, I waited until I did a really good workout to weigh myself. I didn't step on the scale on monday, but I'm happy with today's results.

    getting there

    I'm getting there slowly...I weighed 64.5kg at my weigh in & am quite happy with the way my body shape is heading. My togs(swimsuit) fit!!!

    It's been a struggle even with eating the right foods etc. but i'll get to my goal of 60kg..no matter how hard it might be.
