We sometimes worried so much about the scale numbers and stalls but have you ever compare your starting sizes clothes with your current ones? This is progress Real progress and the scale numbers mean NOTHING

Yeah.. that's something... I sleep in a tee-shirt was used to fit me perfectly... now it looks like a dress!!! Thanks for the reminder!!

The new ones look so tiny!! Yay for NSV's

And those are "little" things that motivate us to KEEP pushing and going forward. I said "little" but these things are BIG Bigger than the scale numbers

Thanks for posting. I'm only 2 1/2 weeks out after my surgery, but I haven't lost anything in the last 4 or 5 days! I was starting to get depressed and feel like I was doing something wrong, but when I think about it...my clothes are so big on me then when I first started!! This was a good reminder!

I needed this posting! I am 6 months out and have stalled for the past 3 weeks. I have lost 112 pounds and have a good 100 more to go. People that I work with keep saying that I am melting away, but I dont see it. I have a mental block that if I dont see the scale moving, I dont feel like I am moving. I know that it is not true. I finally decided to purchase new pants. My others are falling off. I recently went to a Cincinnati Reds ballgame and spent most of my time pulling up my jeans.

Hey I understand you perfectly, we don't see our progress most of the time yeah look for your old clothes are compared them,you will be amazed by doing this. 112 lbs is a LOT congrats!!! This is not an easy journey and it requires for sure a lifestyle change to be more successful You are doing more than awesome at 6 months out

Yes!!! Great post! The scale does not define any one of us itself. There are so many little bits of fun ways to measure our success. I do have a photo like this somewhere in my albums on this website...

yeah that is awesome! i would be happy to lose more inches than pounds if it meant smaller clothes :-) i can tell by the way i am losing i am going to be "Mariyln" shaped and thats ok with me.

Now this is wht=at I am talking about.. and it has only just occured to me that the number on the scale, although useful, isn't the only way to measure success.... nice image!

LOVE THIS!!!

So I should get over the fact that I cant break my 100 lbs lost for going on 3 weeks now (cant get past 98lbs).

Thanks! I so needed that.
