I have decided to stop worrying about the numbets on my scale. I love my scale when the numbers go down, but hate it when the numbers do not move or go up. We all know what this is like. However, I am super excited because I am losing inches!! The jeans I bought 3 weeks ago are getting baggy! I wish I was under 200(207.4 currently), but I'll take inches lost over a number on the scale any day! Take it from me folks, those scale numbers do not mean a whole lot.

Congratulations shellbell33081 on your progress, which doesn't just mean the numbers on a scale. Stay excited and you'll see results. Good luck on your journey

I too felt the same way about the scale. This is my second stall. I have a new pair of jeans that I just got last week and they were a little snug. now since my stall is over i've dropped inches & 2 lbs and now they are a little baggy. That's why I'm not in a hurry to go shopping because wearing a pair of jeans for 1 month is not gonna work for me. I am still wearing my old (fat girl) clothes and i look uber ridiculous so i have to do something.

My dr told me to avoid the scale- so I am taking his advice and weighing myself monthly. I have decided not to let the scale dictate how I feel on this journey.. Up a pound.. Down a pound ... Whatever as long as I feel good that's what matters

scales are like toxic, bipolar best friends.

Search my past posts on scales and you'll see I'm not being funny when I say that. They're miserable little shits.

Some day I'll get to be the correct size to shop at Goodwill. Right now, they don't have a good selection of 4-XL or 50-inch (waist) pants. But, I'm getting there.
