The title sort of says it all.

I know we all bow to the scale, and I know we all KNOW it isn't an accurate measurement of what we do, but I also know we all need frequent and concrete evidence of exactly that.

I have gained two pounds that have been hanging on over the past couple weeks. I thought they'd go away, but they have not. However, I have also lost three inches from my waist these past two weeks, and probably the hips and thighs as evidenced by my pants.

Arrgh... that sounds like what happened to me last month. But losing inches is AWESOME! I gained four pounds and kept them on for 2 weeks, then, when they magically disappeared, I had a smaller, firmer body underneath.

thanks for sharing this. I have a feeling that I'm doing to have a small gain this Monday when I weigh, and I was worried about it. But I'm going to just keep plugging along and know that the number will go down over time.

A good reminder that we should measure consistantly... I know I put too much stock into what my scale tells me every morning. *Stupid scale!*

Congrats, Eliana! I think we put waaay too much emphasis on the scale. Weight fluctuates throughout the day, but inches really don't. That you're down 3 inches and your jeans are fitting better= success!! You probably gained two pounds of muscle, which will help you burn even more
