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

Arielle Lorre made nutrition her focus, she eliminated foods that didn't agree with her like cane sugar, and now she feels much better and much less bloated. "The major victories I have experienced have been nonscale-related; in fact, from the start to where I am now, my weight has only fluctuated about five pounds. Those victories have been almost entirely in my mindset: how well I treat my body, my newfound patience with the process, and understanding that this is not a race to a finish line," she shared.

For Arielle, feeling good has truly become the goal, and doing the things that make her feel best result in physical changes as well. "A lot of us don't realize how good we can feel if we take certain actions," she said.
