Losing inches NOT pounds and ready to scream

[Momto3redheads 18]

I know what you mean....it seems like I would be much happier with seeing the numbers dropping, but then again I am happier to finally be in a size of jeans I haven't seen in my adult life ever, you know???? Take the small victories and try not to distress over the scale. (easier said than done, I know)

Muscle does weigh more than fat - which means if you are working out a ton and not losing weight you are probably building muscle - but make sure you are getting enough calories and Protein in, too, or you won't lose....my friend did that as she worked out with a trainer and ate the right stuff didn't lose AT ALL! Come to find out, when we calculated the amounts of calories and Protein she was eating it was NOT ENOUGH! So you have to be careful or your body won't let go of an ounce.

Hope you get over the plateau soon - I know itis frustrating! Upping my protein has really helped me along with wearing my body magic - it is reshaping my figure which is priceless as I still weigh more now than when we got married, but am in a size smaller clothes! YAHOO!!!

I too have lost inches and not much weight. I'm nearly 2 months out and have lost very little weight. However, I know that exercise is the key, and, I will start seeing how little I can actually eat...drinkking while eating is still a problem for me. Many congrats to all of you that have had weight loss or are near your goal.

This is going to sound like a really silly question but...Have you tried different scales?

The other day I weighed myself and it said I'd put on 10 kilos...I changed the batteries and it went back to normal :-)

You could also try getting your body fat % tested, and then do it again in a few months time to see if it's muscle mass youre putting on, while taking off fat.
