That number on the scale

Are you trying to reach that certain number on the scale? Throughout my journey I have set a goal weight then readjusted as time has gone on. At first I thought it would be awesome to get to Onederland (when you are finally out of the 200s), then I thought I would try to reach my high school weight (I'm still not there). However at time continues I am realizing that it isn't so much the number on the scale as it is the way my jeans fit or how I look in the mirror.

All of these women are 150 lbs. We come in all shapes and sizes.

The last few months I have really been kind of stuck. The number on the sale hasn't really moved in either direction. I am grateful that I haven't really gained, but I do wish that I would lose a little more. I am mostly just enjoying summer and all that goes with it, barbeques, beer and yummy deserts. All throughout this journey I have never deprived myself of anything. I have had pizza, beer, ice cream and any other food item I craved. I have just tried to cut back on how much and how often I eat it. I am a firm believer that if you cut yourself off of any one thing that you are more likely to binge on it later. So my progress may be slower than others but I am convinced that if I can still lose while still occasionally enjoying the things that I do, I will be more successful in the long run.

Ok...back to that darn scale. Over the last few months I have started keeping track of my measurements. While I was still getting comments like "you look like you are still losing" the scale wasn't moving. I decided to keep track of my measurements to see if I was still losing even though the scale wasn't budging. Over the last month or so I have lost a few inches. I don’t have the numbers but I think you can see the difference.
