Screw the Scale! These 15 Women Share Nonscale Victories That Mean So Much More

Jessica Field wanted to make some changes and "set a good example of what it means to be happy, healthy, and confident" for her daughter. She had a history of yo-yo dieting, and after being tired of the ups and downs, she started counting macros and lost 15 pounds in 10 months.

"For so many years, I let the number on the scale dictate how I felt about myself and that's just absurd; I'm more than a number," she said. One of her biggest nonscale victories is finally being able to do traditional push-ups. She's also increased her box jump to 30 inches and can now deadlift and bench press with a barbell.
