lorajeane's Journal, 22 Mar 14

I've been thinking on this for a couple weeks. I look thinner and fit better in my jeans (a little) but the scale keeps telling me that I haven't lost ANY weight and that's disappointing. So I got thinking about the fact that muscle is denser than fat and so you can gain muscle while trying to burn/lose fat and not see the difference on the scale so I went back to my journal entry that stated my body measurements and compared those to today.

So the results are:
Hips, down 2"
Waist, down 1.5"
Chest (just under the bra line), down 2"
Thigh (thickest part), down 1.5"
Upper Arm (thickest part), down 1.5"
Bust (yes, we lose that too), down 1"

YES! Results. Small but results nonetheless. You have to watch both, the scale and body measurements. OH and the scale did say 163 today but I know that fluctuates day to day but still makes you feel better.

As ridiculous as it sounds, I don't kno how to measure myself. I have tried it 3 times and the 3 times I get very different results, so I'm quite sure I'm not doing it right- so I just stopped. But totally agree, one needs to look both at the scale and the measurements to get a better picture. Congrats on the loss!

Ah Chickturu I wish I were near to show you. I actually learned by being a seamstress.
