Say it with us now: screw the size!

Health blogger Kelsey Wells of My Sweat Life posted a sequence of bikini snaps to her Instagram that present a fairly spectacular physique transformation—and inform an essential story about weight reduction and health. The message? Screw the size.
Within the first pic, Wells seems to be fairly nice simply eight weeks after giving start at 145 kilos. Within the second, she hits her objective weight of 122 kilos. However fortunately she did not get caught on the quantity. Within the ultimate snap, which reveals off Wells’ sick muscle definition, she’s a full 18 kilos heavier with a ultimate weigh-in of 140 kilos.
“THANK GOODNESS I lastly discovered to begin measuring my progress by issues that matter—power, capacity, endurance, well being and HAPPINESS,” says Wells in her put up. “I’ve by no means been extra snug in my very own pores and skin than I’m now. And if I did not say #screwthescale way back, I’d have given up on my journey.”
Though she went up two pants sizes from her unique objective weight and ended up solely 5 kilos slimmer than when she began, her physique composition is way leaner than when she began. We are usually tremendous targeted on shedding weight, however typically a fitter physique truly means gaining just a few kilos (here is 7 Extra Muscle Myths, Busted!). Muscle weighs greater than fats, in spite of everything. So in case your objectives are to construct power and tone up, do not be stunned if the quantity on the size strikes up just a few notches. (Psst…having robust muscle groups does not essentially imply you need to bulk up.)
Take a cue from Wells and screw the size and love your form as an alternative.
