XenatheWarriorPrincess Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've made several lifestyle improvements since mid-February. For one, I jumped into the Paleo lifestyle, discarding 12 years of vegetarianism (I actually found Nerd Fitness by searching for keywords such as "paleo" and "former vegetarian").Then, I participated in my first 6 week challenge. My biggest win was cutting out diet soda and getting myself to the gym an average of 2-3 days a week.My scale has fluctuated from 200 down to 192 and back up to 200. It was very frustrating for me. However, I am noticing slight changes in my body. This morning, I decided to take measurements for my 6 week challenge. I compared them to the measurements I took in mid-February. I've lost 8.7 inches!! Screw the scale, I'm a believer in the measuring tape! And the cherry on top? The other day my boyfriend said he could feel the difference in my back and that my butt was getting smaller. Woot!! Link to comment

IrishPirate Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 great job!!!!! Its so much more rewarding to see the inches lost than the poundage.
