    Just wanted to share

    Well, I've been complaining lately that I'm not losing any weight and couldn't figure out why, so I decided to take my measurements again today.

    I lost 6.3 INCHES in 3 weeks! WHOO HOO! Still, the scale isn't moving (actually gained another pound today) but the inches are coming off.

    (doing my happy dance!) I'm soooo happy!

            I don't get the anger at gaining a pound...losing inches means you've gotten smaller AND you're losing fat, which are what you want...so what does it matter what the scale says? If I were a smaller size, or especially back to my goal size, I wouldn't even weigh myself.

            If you're dropping inches, weight is just a moot question.

                Well done
                I agree with Shannon Losing fat (inches) is far better than just losing scales weight!!

                After all - who sees the weight numbers but you? All your friends and family see the smaller you
                Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                  Most likely muscle that replaced it. Since muscle weighs more than fat. But thats great news!
