But sometimes that scale does not budge. It's really important to have other ways to celebrate weight loss and to see a payoff for your hard work so you don't get discouraged. Here's a few ideas....try a few.
-the tape measure....measure your inches...if you are toning up, you're going to look better . losing inches is an awesome indication of progress
-clothes- I often buy a pair of pants that's snug on me just to figure out when I've lost some weight. I 'm not saying spend a fortune here....I bought some jeans at dots for 10.00 a month ago that were a size too small. I tried them on each week. Two weeks ago, I could zip them but they were so tight I thought I'd have an aneurysm. (sry if I spelled that wrong:). Today...they pulled right on and zipped nice and easy. AHHH.
-Pictures-Since I want to enter the beachbody challenge, I've been snapping pictures in my workout clothes. I took a front, side, and back view. After a month, I noticed that my back was flat....I def. still had a little fat on my back when I started. That showed me progress.
-mirror/ people's comments- You know when you look slimmer...and other people tell you too. Listen and don't do the denying....oh no, I Haven't lost much...why do we say that? Just say thanks.
Feeling successful is an important part of continuing to lose.....how are you measuring your weight loss?
