What Counts?

 What Counts?

Do you go by your scale or measurements?
When loosing weight, what do you like to see?

I have been doing both. I know the measurements tell more truth.
I have an app on my phone called "Happy Scale".
I weigh myself everyday at the same time. I like to do it this way so I can
keep on top when I mess up my eating.

Since June 12, 2016, I have been using the app. I have lost 19.6 pounds.

Since July 4, 2016, I have lost 18.75 inches off my body.

Both are good numbers in my book. I always have to remember that as I am working out
muscles weigh more than fat. Muscle burns fat.

The way you loose you need to feel good. Don't be all crazy about numbers.
We all loose differently. Have to find out the best.

Starving yourself makes you either gain or stay the same. So you have to eat to loose weight.
Watch what goes in your mouth and how much. This is not a diet. IT HAS TO BE A LIFE CHANGE.
Diet is like my husband says, If you want to loose 10 pounds because you are going to the beach for vacation.
To keep the weight off you need to CHANGE how you eat.
I have a goal of 160 pounds. If I get there and want to loose more, I will work on it.

I can say back in the day I was 292 pounds and that was about 5 years ago. I have been up and down trying all kinds of ways to loose. I was obsessed with the scale. Then I would get disappointed and just give up. The pills cost so much money to do it their way but does it really work.
I dont have the money to spend on all the "Special" things to loose weight.

I am thankful I have found a happy medium measuring myself every 2 weeks and weighing myself everyday.
Find the best for you. Can't bring yourself down. Have to know there will be always ups and downs. Cant give up and don't just go by the scale. Its all how you feel.
