Liliana Arleen 173 Posted April 12, 2012 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 7 sleeve 4 me, mocha, TLC223 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marisa.rose 6 Posted April 12, 2012 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! 1 Liliana Arleen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimmerme 1 Posted April 12, 2012 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. 1 Liliana Arleen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted April 12, 2012 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffylibra30 323 Posted April 12, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coops 1,790 Posted April 13, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pagie 64 Posted April 17, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
