Because We Can

A Journey of Health and Happiness
muffintop-less: There are numerous ways to measure progress that are far superior to the scale. Some of these include progress photos, measurements and how your clothes fit! I know a lot of girls care about the number on the scale.. but the thing to keep in mind is, the scale is the weight of not just your fat & muscle.. but your organs, bones and various tissues as well! It doesn’t tell you your body fat percentage or body mass index. It changes extremely easily depending on the foods you eat, your sodium intake and how much water you’ve consumed.Also remember, YOU are the ONLY ONE who sees that number! Besides your doctor.. who else is going to care what it says? So long as you are in a healthy range for your age/heigh/gender… forget about that number and focus on making healthy lifestyle changes instead! I dug up one of the first progress photos I decided to take.. here it is! I wish I had more “original” shots… I’ll see if I can find anything else. But I encourage you to take progress photos of your own! They will go a long way to motivate you when you see HOW FAR YOU’VE COME rather than stressing about how far you have to go!!!
