The scale number is "just a point on the graph," but I know what you mean. At my endocrinologist NP visit yesterday, I was down only 4 pounds (since May) on their scale. That doesn't reflect the struggle to lose 33 pounds since January. But all my "other numbers" were great. Your hard work will show up eventually, so look forward, not backward!

Buy a scale hunny. When I didn't own one, I let myself go to crap. Time takes time . You can do this.

Please take measurements. You'll see improvements that won't always show on the scale.

I'm imagining measuring my body with a 50' metal construction tape measure. OUCH! I searched Walmart for "soft tape measure" and found a bunch at -- https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=0&query=tape+measure+soft

It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. An old belt off a robe and a marker. Some twine or that old ball of yarn that you cut. Display the cuttings side by side to show them getting 'shorter' for motivation.

👍 Or just tape it on the wall, the back of a door, and put the next and the next and the next beside them as you see the twine get shorter. It doesn't have to be a number. Just know by the length that you are reducing your size.
