You shouldn't measure by weight, you should measure by how you feel, how your clothes fit, heck even by people commenting on how you look. Weight can fluctuate so easily due to water gain, muscle gain, etc. You'll get discouraged if you don't see the numbers on the scale change.
And what makes you think you aren't beautiful now?
I'm very much aware of this. My sister is in training--constantly. She did a triathlon or two...and marathons... She is the one that gave me the other exercises I'm doing. I know I need to lose 20-30 to be back where I was 3 years ago....and back down into my old wardrobes. I know weight can fluctuate, that's why I weighed myself again when I got home...and didn't have a towel and wet hair on my head. I'm hoping to lose 5 pounds by February! Just to jump start. I know muscle weighs more than fat...I use to be a forward soccer player. That meant I was in tip-top shape. I USE to have rock hard abs in high school, now I have a gut. It is gross to me. No one else really comments. I feel better...that's why i keep doing it! :) Even last night on 5 hours of sleep, i rode 5.5 miles. It made me feel better and motivated. I'm doing this for me, and also motivates my husband. He thinks I'm beautiful with morning breath and crazy hair, so it is just how I feel I see my tummy and thighs!!
