i by no means am over weight. my abs show and i have a good bit of muscle. but i went to the doctors today and i'm 8lbs heavier then i was a year ago and the number bugs me. don't get me wrong, i love the way my body works. i've worked hard for all of my muscle but i just hate seeing a number. i usually tell the nurse not to tell me but i was distracted and forgot. it amazes me how much numbers can play with your head. this is why i don't own a scale.

I am feeling the same way. I used to weigh myself everyday until about a month ago or two ago. I weighed myself two days ago and weighed 5 pounds more than I used to. I know that it is most likely muscle gain, as I have been lifting much heavier, but I still hate to see it.

It's taken me 53 years to learn to ignore the numbers (most of the time.) Try not to let the numbers discourage you. How do your measurements, well, measure up? I bet they're better than a year ago.

I hate numbers too. When I first started losing weight, I didn't even weight myself. I kinda knew where I was at and didn't weigh myself until 2 or 3 weeks later so I'm not exactly sure how much weight I actually lost. I weighed myself once a month when I was losing but after a year I stopped. Now I rarely weigh myself. I go by how I feel, how my clothes fit and how I look. People actually think I weigh less than I actually do.
