I've have been stalling so frequently that I have really been down in the dumps lately. These past two months I would lose a few pounds and for the remainder of that week and the next week I would just bounce up and down with the pounds I'd lost on the scales. Then I will lose a few more and do the same thing for two weeks again. It really can be nerve wrecking, but thank goodness I measured in the beginning to let me know that I am progressing no matter what the scales say! These are my measurements and inches lost.

You think that you are big now until you look back and see just how BIG you actually were!!! Like a whole 51.25 inches BIGGER..... LOL

Wow, that is just amazing how much your measurements have changed. Congrats on the awesome loss!

That is great! You are doing great. I had trouble with the drama of the scale in the begininng so I started only weighing once a week. Only on Sunday. It is so much less drama!

Continue Success to you!

that is a great idea! I am trying not to let the scale dictate my mood but it is hard, maybe weighing once a week would be best for me too. I think I will pull out the tape mearsure as well, thanks!

Love that you DIVORCED your scale! SO funny! Good idea though. It is just a number but man oh man can it bring you down and make you feel defeated! I try to only weigh myself once a week but sometimes thats easier said than done! Inches really do count more and change even when the scale doesn't.

Happy measuring to you!

Wow - that is a lot of inches! Congratulations!

My dietician suggests to only weigh once a week and measure monthly.

I LOVE IT! Good for you!

That is so great! Congrats to you girl! I didn't start measuring until my big stall started, wish I had done it earlier, but it is cool how the inches drop even if the scales stall.

I think your progress is amazing! I so wish I had measured in the beginning myself! My husband 'jacked' my scale after watching me weigh myself everyday for the first 15 days post-op. I only weigh once a week and like some of the other posters already said, its much less drama!!

Here's to your continued success!

You are doing so great! I loved your heading too, it made me laugh out loud for real I wish I could divorce my scale, I really should, its a mean old bastard. LOL
