Hi, my name's Izzylu and I'm a weigh-aholic... page 2

Hey Izzylu as tfarny points out your weight is HIGHLY dependent on your body COMPOSITION - weight really is meaningless!! Musle is much more dense than fat, so gaining 2lbs of musle while losing 1lb of fat can (and does) make a significant change in your body composition for the better despite the scale! stick with it!

instead of using weight, instead use what you can do.

for example:

"when i started doing squats, i could only move the bar (45 lbs), but now i can squat 150 lbs!

"when i started working out, i couldn't do one pull up; now i can do 25 with good form!"

essentially, you just use what you can DO as a barometer of how awesome you are.
