Hi, started a new diet plan with Herbalife 3 weeks ago, and everything seems to be going great - im getting energy like never before to go for a brisk walk every evening! and no major cravings.
Ive lost 5 inches from my belly, 2 inches from my neck etc, but no weight loss-im exactly the same!! am i doing anything wrong?? I know the whole thing about muscle weighing more that fat, but any other diet i was losing weight??!!

My very un-scientific respone is: Hey, if you're loosing inches, that's awesome!
The scale is an easy way to track progress, but not always the best.

I don't know anything about herbalife but losing inches is a good sign.

Hi Aishling, welcome to 3fatchicks Inch loss is great, don't know much about herblife at all, sometimes people lose inches first and the pounds start to drop off later, well done so far, keep up the good work

This is precisely why I never weigh. It messes with your head!

When I realised my state of the art digital scales gave a totally different reading - 5lb apart - depending which floorboards it was on over the space of a square metre or so of my bedroom floor - I realised enough was enough!

Measuring is thought to be a more accurate way of measuring success anyway as the scales are measuring not just you but that particular day's food, salt intake, water retention - vary from one time of day to the next etc. I realised if I listened to the scales I was in danger of panicking and giving up - being back where I started. They're true diet killers!

Measurements are giving you good feedback. They're what I'd stick with. After all, at the end of all this - what matters to you? Losing inches (going down dress sizes) or what a number says on a dial?

I've been back on track just 4 weeks and wish my inch lost was as spectacular as your's! I've lost the odd inch here, and there. Your achievement is great!

I too have been on herbalife for over a week now. I have not lost any pounds yet but have lost a total of 2.5 inches with tons of energy, no cravings, no appetite.
