  • New picture!

    I've only lost 2lbs since the other picture, but the main difference between this picture is my arms! Well to me anyway *hehe*

    If you look carefully, you can see the back of my jeans are nowhere near my body. My boyfriend bought me those jeans from Old Navy 2 weeks ago, and they were tight at a size 10. And now I'm constantly pulling them up! I have been measuring myself, and I've lost 3 inches in two weeks even if I didnt lose any weight.

      You look great! It's crazy how the scale won't budge but the inches will still go down... I still don't get the physics of weight loss but I'll take whatever I can get! Good job girl!

          I know! It's so weird. I guess it's something we'll never know haha. I'll admit, it's dissapointing to step on the scale and see you are still at the same weight, because I think it's built into us that weight is everything. It's natural to think like that.
          But I have to measure myself and remind myself that it's how my clothes fit and the inches that count, not the scale!

                  You look absolutely fabulous! You must be so proud of yourself. I bet people tell you all the time how different you look. Keep up the good work, stay off those scales and keep measuring! I've decided scales are the enemy! ( :

                      It looks like you've lost weight in all the *right* places! Your progress pics are the examples I showed my girlfriend in an attempt to convince her that she won't neccisarily lose too much from the wrong places - if you know what I mean.

                      Great work!

                          Thank you everyone! I'm really proud of myself. There are actually only a few people who comment on my weight loss offline, and they are people I work with but rarely see. When they do see me, they're always shocked by how I look because they knew me as fat steph for years.

                          Everyone else sees me everyday so they don't see the change on the same scale. But yeah, I'm proud and getting happier!

                            wow what a great job shrinking you have done. look at those bones showing off.

                            rememeber scales only know the total mass change not that you tossed out pounds of fat mass and added lean healthy muscle tissue pounds.
