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 17 of 25 ADVERTISEMENT () Start Slideshow When I weighed 130 pounds, I wasn’t happy. When I weighed 145 pounds, I wasn’t happy. No matter what the scale said, I was never happy and although I have set a small weight loss goal for myself recently, I want to share these photos in hopes of showing some of you that the more muscle you have, the higher the scale may be! We as females pick ourselves apart daily and we cannot let ONE measure of progress determine our happiness! •• On the left I clearly did not care about my body. I thought it was cool to drink beer 3 nights a week and binge on processed foods. I hardly worked out and when I did it was cardio only! Apparently I also thought it was cool to have my boobs out. 🙄 Flash forward to now, I weigh 15 pounds more than I did back then and I’m way leaner. I have gained a ton of muscle and lost my boobs. 😂 But the most important thing is that I have learned to not let the number on the scale affect my happiness. I know that my body represents more than just a number. I know that there are SO many factors that go into what the scale reads each morning, and I hope that any of you out there who may be struggling with the number on the scale STOP basing your happiness off of it and STOP letting it run your life.
