Introduction
Losing weight can be a difficult journey, but it can be even harder when you are trying to gain muscle simultaneously. For reddit user c8sk8, this was exactly the challenge she faced for the past couple of months.
The Progress
Despite the muscle gain, c8sk8 managed to lose 6 lbs in just 2 months. However, the scale hardly showed any difference. The real indicator of progress, in her case, was the visible change in her body. She looked leaner and toner, indicating that her hard work was really paying off.
The Power of Pictures
One way c8sk8 kept track of her progress was through taking before and after pictures. It allowed her to see the changes in her body that the scale may not have reflected. Reddit user i00Face also noted the importance of picture comparison as a way to gauge progress.
The Scale vs. The Mirror
Reddit user LowerJup commented that they did not see much difference, however, c8sk8 was confident in the progress she had made. She also received reassurance from other users who commented on her post. As user Metaocalypse pointed out, weight may not be the only indicator of progress. How one feels when looking at themselves in the mirror or how their clothes fit are also important factors.
Conclusion
C8sk8's weight loss journey through gaining muscle serves as a reminder that progress may not always be reflected on the scale. Taking pictures and measurements can be helpful in seeing results. Overall, it is important to focus on the bigger picture and how one feels rather than just a number on the scale.
