You look great, and so happy!  I had a slow month this month on the scale too (it was four months for me today) but my clothes keep getting looser so I'll take it!  I think when you work the muscles more than usual they retain water so it makes the number on the scale look less impressive.

Congrats on all your success!

 Thanks!  l am!!!  Someone posted on here from a surgeon: when you build 1 lb of muscle, your body retains and used 3 lbs of water until it's job is done building it up.  And then of course that muscle is only 1/3 of the size of the fat that it's replacing, so you get so much smaller.  But that scale has to move again, because there's no other way!  You can't eat this little and NOT lose.  

So, do you count by the calendar month? lf so, l'm not at 4 months yet.  l counted 16 weeks... l never know about these things!! lol!!
