The Reason Why #screwthescale Should Be Your Fave Instagram Hashtag

Kelsey’s most recent post is dedicated to the idea of #screwthescale, showing her incredible progress over the course of her year-and-a-half-long fitness journey. In a simple three-pic collage with her weight listed above each photo, she proves that numbers can totally mess with your mind. We’re blown away by how gorgeous and strong this lady is.

LAST WORKOUT OF MY 7th 'ROUND' OF BBG DONE!! 😅👊🏼😆 || So now that we have the (amazing) #sweatwithkayla app, "rounds" of BBG aren't really a thing anymore- we now can just go by weeks without having to repeat any! (You beginners don't even know how amazing you have it!👊🏼) BUT, back when I first started (or attempted starting😂) there was just one Bikini Body Guide and it was a 12 week program. Hence, even though I now use the app I am still in the habit of tracking my progress (and taking my transformation pics) every 12 weeks. Well today I completed my 84th solid week of #bbg, which I realized would mean my seventh round. As a girl who bought the first guide without being able to finish one push-up let alone ONE full 12 week round, I am feeling pretty stoked.😊☺️ || I have all the feels rn because looking back on my journey since finding BBG brings tears to my eyes every time. As always, so much love and gratitude for my amazing friends @kayla_itsines and @tobi_pearce for creating a platform and program like no other.💗 || YOU GUYS!! YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. If you want to. You can be what you want to be, do what you want to do. Set your goals and WORK for your dreams. || Wake up, kick ass, repeat.👊🏼⚡️🤗 . . . . . . #bbgbabes #bbgmums #bbgmoms #bbggirls #bbgfam #bbgcommunity #fit #fitness #fitchick #gymlife #workout #sweat #fitmom #healthy #happy #mysweatlife #getoutandsweat

Kelsey, who started using Kayla Itsine’s crazy popular BBG training program two months ago after having a baby with hopes of “fitting into her skinny pants,” now says, “I have never had more muscle and less body fat than I do now. I have never been healthier than I am now. I have never been more comfortable in my own skin than I am now. And if I didn’t say #screwthescale long ago, I would have gave up on my journey.”

So I just pulled into the gym and Anderson is of course dead asleep in the car because he of course refused to nap today.😂 Hence I get to chill and mentally prepare to smash some #BBG #arms when he awakes.😈👊🏼💁🏻 || It's no secret I hate arm day.. (thanks @kayla_itsines for calling me out at the NYC #sweattour2016 😳😬) but ya know what? I DO IT ANYWAY. Because even though I hate training arms, I love seeing progress. When I began BBG my arms and shoulders were by far my weakest, and though I still don't enjoy my arms circuits, at least I can do them! Sure, my progress has been slow and steady but for me this has never been about getting quickly "shredded" or "making gains". (Nothing wrong with that of course!🤗) But my point is I needed a program that fit my busy lifestyle and didn't consume it. I needed something flexible and do-able year round. Something I could stick to that brought maintainable results. That is what BBG is and that is how these baby muscles have been grown. And THAT is what I love. I love the feeling I get at the end of my workout knowing that I DID IT. Little by little, one circuit, one workout at a time. THAT'S HOW WE DO IT. 👊🏼💪🏼 . . . . . #bbgbabes #bbgcommunity #bbggirls #bbgfam #bbgmoms #bbgmums #bbgsisters #bbglife #fitmom #fitness #fitfam #fit #workout #fitspo #fitchick #mysweatlife #sweat #girlswithmuscles #girlgains

We totally love Kelsey’s healthy take on measuring progress by tracking things that matter, like “strength, ability, endurance, health and happiness.” Work out to become the most healthy and fit version of yourself, and you’ll reap the rewards in ALL aspects of your life. Yas, girl!
