Popsugar Health & Fitness Then And Now Screw the Scale Transformations These Before-and-After Photos Prove How Useless the Scales Can Be When You're Slimming Down 24 June 2018 by Jenny Sugar View On One Page Photo 5 of 25 ADVERTISEMENT () Start Slideshow So I’ve been working on my nutrition for the last 13 weeks, courtesy of @thipp59 and @keynutritionutah ... no alterations to my workout routine, just really dialing in what I’m eating (for the first time in my life), and here’s how it shakes out so far: - down 4.2 lbs - gained 4.83 lbs of lean muscle - down 6% body fat And that’s EXACTLY why we shouldn’t care what the scale says. If weighing myself was the sole measure of my progress over the last 13 weeks, I would be SO discouraged! But the pictures tell a different story. My body has changed ... my weight has not. So many lessons here. 1) Take pictures. 2) do NOT rely on weight gain/loss alone. 3) you can’t out train a crappy diet. 4) metabolism really does slow down with age, but you can combat this! 5) there’s always room for improvement. 6) no easy fixes ... do the work! *Next time I take progress pics - gonna flex 💪🏼 * #progresspics #fitness #screwthescale #fitchick #fitspiration #coachlife #cantouttrainacrappydiet #keynutrition #NOTadiet #lifestyle #dothework #nutrition #fitnessmotivation A post shared by Natalie (@coachnat_mulcock) on Mar 3, 2018 at 3:09pm PST Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 5 Previous Next Start Slideshow Then And NowBefore And After Weight LossWeight Loss
