Well I am still not back in the 150′s but I’m okay with that, kind of. Since this week was filled with people saying I was looking “toned” and that they could tell I was “losing weight” and that I was looking “good”, having no real movement on the scale in two weeks has been a bit irritating but I have to keep telling myself that weight loss is not all about the number. My body is doing something and the scale is not paying attention, lol.
I feel great, fit and I’m working hard at all aspects of this journey so I should be proud. I may not see a 10lb loss by Oct 5th…but I may get that drop in pant size. If that happens, I will definitely consider that a win.

You should definitely feel proud. Looking at the entire journey is definitely something I’m struggling with. I’m obsessed with “the number” right now (currently trying to bounce back from regaining 45 of the golden 200+ that I lost).
I’m trying to embrace a new way of thinking because I’m honestly tired of the roller coaster. It’s been 6.5 years and I want to be done with the losing aspect. I realize maintaining isn’t a walk in the park either, but I’m burned out. Sad, huh? I just need to realize that I’m not a “normal” person when it comes to food/weight, so this will be a lifelong journey (“battle” sounds depressing. LOL)
Sorry to unload my issues…guess I needed to vent. Back to my original point, you are doing a great job. Please know that you’re inspiring folks along the way. :)

muscle weights more than fat, so don’t trust the number on the scale too much.

You’re doing awesome! And you are so right, never let those numbers on the scale discourage you. It’s how you feel that matters. :)

You’re probably gaining muscle and losing fat.
