Proof!!
So last night in my "I am so happy right now" post I shared that I was going to do something pretty radical in my mind and for the next month just refer to measurements as benchmarks of success, not scale numbers. I am happy to report this morning, my 'weigh in day' I weighed in the same as I did after a 10 lb induction loss - 184. Now normally this would be discouraging and why didn't I lose, etc. etc. BUT then I measured myself - I am smaller everywhere!! Another half inch from all over and 2 inches from my arms!! I am so excited about this
It's official, that was it for using the scale for a little while (about a month) - now Fridays are my 'Measurement Day' instead of my 'Weigh In Day' - lol. I am now off to the gym to get cardio and BUILD MUSCLE without worrying if it's going to up my scale number......have a great day guys!

It's so true that those scales can be the very devil. Kudos to you for making the change to tape measuring!
I would like to say again too how ready I felt to give up yesterday just because of the scale, my mood etc. and I just held on tight and got into bed - I find that sometimes that's what I have to do - even if my mind is telling me one thing just ignore it and get under the covers and thank god I held on because of how I feel today.
