You have to remember you are only measuring some parts of your body, not every inch, so you will have lost more cm than what you measure. Chin up! You are on the road to success, it just sometimes has a few bends & curves that we didn't expect.

Hmm, I know how you feel.

Try not to let numbers rule your life and emotions, and I don't mean just the scales! Hard I know, because we tend to rely on numbers to tell us how we're doing. But how do you LOOK and FEEL physically? Healthier? Stronger? Leaner? Prouder?

I've had times where I haven't lost any size at all (at least, not in the places I was measuring) but my clothes were looser and people were commenting on 'more weight lost' - go figure!

The important thing is not what the scales or tape measure say, it's what we (and others) can SEE and FEEL.

So next time the numbers get you down, go and try on those new jeans! Or go and do something physical and marvel at how much healthier, fitter and stronger your body is these days.

Remember losing weight is essentially about the enjoyment of a healthier life, not just the numbers :)

Damn, I'm still proud of you and I bet the extra inches on the arms were muscle.

You know what....I just got new Nike Shox, and I have to tell you they roxor, and totally make me want to walk. I feel SO much better in my gorgeous new birthday shoes! So I feel your pain, or shall I say I don't ;) Mystie.

Nice new kicks! I love the Gaiam DVDs too. Don't worry about your inches lost or gained, the clothes are the real judge!
