I do try not to, Shane but what can I say, at times I still want to throw them out the window!

I'm also doing a 12 week challenge so the numbers are important for me... I try to take it with a grain of salt though and evaluate WHY my figures may have gone up.
As Marc says, high sodium will retain water and muscle and the mending of muscle is also a culprit. I need to try and remember that and not have a mental breakdown every time the scales say I've had a gain
I took measurements back when I first started my 12 week challenge (January) and since then my combined measurements (waist, bust, thigh, arm, abs) have decreased by 60 inches. I can also fit into my old jeans again which is an incredible feeling! Onward and downward
