My waist is shrinking but the measuring tape!

Is ticking me off! Yes, I know it's usually the scale that we're at odds with. I can see an actual waist. Back fat is disappearing but I've lost one silly inch in months. I should clarify I have lost almost a foot of waist. But it really shows now. Stupid measuring tape is going to find its way to a land fill!!!

Don't be frustrated. Sizes are so inconsistent and I get myself confused as to what size I should be in. I am a true apple shape with the roly poly barrel body. Once I picked up my pace on cardio ( mainly hiking and cycling) my belly started to melt. Congrats on losing the foot of waist. Its a great feeling!

Funny, I love my measuring tape. Because whenever I stall out I lose inches somewhere. So It keeps me motivated when the scale is stuck. I also like to go shopping and try on clothes to gauge how my weight loss is progressing. I can no longer eyeball clothes and say hey, that looks big enough. My mind still has me in size 24 tops and 26 pants. Trying clothes on tells me I'm in a 14/16 top and 18 pants.
