Don’t get discouraged

I am seeing so many people getting discouraged because the scale is not moving. I used to be right there with you. When I started my journey 5 years ago, I was 230 lbs. With diet, lifting and Optavia, I dropped to 145 lbs. I would get so frustrated that the scale wasn’t moving. I started using the app MeThreeSixty. It scans your body and does all of your measurements and body fat %. With exercise comes muscle. So no, the scale wasn’t moving, but I was losing inches.

So this brings me to current. I stopped doing Optavia about 3 years ago. Guess what….. even though I still ate very healthy and lift consistently, 25 lbs came back. I started G1LP 6 weeks ago. I am down 14 lbs. the first 7 came off the first week. Since then, it has been a safe 1 lb a week. The shots have been a miracle for me. I have irregular blood sugar where I would get sick if I didn’t eat something every 2 hours. That is gone. In my whole life, I have never felt the feeling of being full. Now, I do. Yeah, at first it was a weird sensation lol.

What I am trying to say is don’t get frustrated. Take your measurements. It helped me so much to get past the number on the scale. Compare week to week and be amazed at what you are doing for yourself ❤️
