Healthy Weight Loss

I really hate that point in losing weight when your friends and coworkers are starting to notice (I'm pretty sure it's just because I got new smaller clothes), but the scale doesn't seem to agree with them.

I've been at a standstill for 3 weeks now, but suddenly people are saying, "You look like you're losing weight!"

Hey, Grumpy Diva!

RE: your friends' and coworkers' annoying compliments on your weight loss—

You might be "tightening up," or redistributing weight. Or trading muscle for fat, which takes up less volume but weighs more.

Or...your scale might be playing mind games with you.

Or...you're really dressing smart (I consistently wear clothes that are too big for me, but when I wear my true size, I look smaller).

Whatever it is, enjoy, if you can!
