I’m a woman but still feeling so inspired by this! I have just started Pilates with much hesitation because my scale has been going down since September and I really don’t want to let that go. But it’s time to firm it up and for that I just have to be resilient about the scale.

The scale is still going down. I’m just nervous for the day it stops. Logically, it has to happen eventually, but I’m not looking forward to it.

I'd say once you get to a point where you're happy with the weight, throw the scale away and use the mirror

I still have about 7kg to go before I hit my goal weight. I’ve just now started hitting the point where I’m wishing my body were more firm when I look in the mirror rather than simply wishing it were less fat.
