o00 494 Posted May 22, 2018 Even with my 130 + pounds of weight-loss, I weigh more than my younger sibling. I get frustrated by scale numbers some days tbh. Even though I workout and stay very active and have maintained a pretty good diet focusing more on toning and gaining muscles still I get secretly bummed. Since surgery, I have overhauled my lifestyle. Last weekend my sister was showing me some clothes she bought and just for fun I started trying them on. To my surprise everything was big on me. I was secretly ecstatic. Because I’m gaining muscles and losing inches so that means my workouts showing results. I want to be as fit as I possibly can be. I do eat more carbs like whole grains, Brown rice and quinoa now but I keep away from simple carbs because of my fitness goals. Moral of story the numbers on scale is not everything. 12 YeahOkay31, Clementine Sky, MIZ60 and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIZ60 1,291 Posted May 22, 2018 Congratulations!! Many people (myself included) have "fat goggles" that keep them from seeing the progress they are making. Trying on stuff that you do not think will fit and finding them too big is objective proof that your body is changing no matter what the scale says. WooooHooo!!!!! 2 o00 and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
