In a society where were oftentaught to believe that personal value is directly related to the number on the scale, there can be a lot of pressure to look a certain way. Magazines, television and social media can make you feel like you need to try harder, forcing you to become dependent on restrictive diets, extensive exercise and regular weigh-ins. While its believed this obsessive nature keeps you accountable and mindful of your healthy initiatives, the scale could actually be deterring you from leading a healthy life.

Thats why one mom and fitness blogger is taking a stand against the scale, proving to her many followers that the number on the scale really doesnt mean that much. Adrienne Osuna shared side-by-side images of herself on Instagram with just a two-pound difference, but her fitness transformation is undeniable.The mom of four shared the image to show that while the scale had barely budged, her body composition was much different.

This was all hard work in the gym, lifting heavy weights and intermittent fasting. And for anyone just seeing this for the first time YESSS really 2 lbs, the scale doesnt measure fat vs muscle! she wrote in the caption.

After yo-yo dietingfor years, Osuna committed to power lifting and chronicled her journey from the beginning onMama of Four Getting Fit. By heavy lifting four times a week, her body changed dramatically, building muscle and definition.

While its a well-known fact that muscle weighs more than fat, it can be disappointing to step on the scale and see little-to-no change. Osunas Instagram post is a great reminder to herself and her followers, worldwide, that the number means nothing when youre putting the work in.

I lost fat and gained muscle which made my weight pretty much stay the same but as you can see Ive lost a lot of inches and dress sizes, she wrote.

Osuna encourages her followers to eat healthy, lift heavy and practice patience on their fitness journey.

There is never a reason to be embarrassed by the number youre lifting. In the gym or on social media. Everyone is at a different point in their journeyDont compare yourself to others. You lift whatever weight youre at right now and be proud of it, she wrote.

With Instagram models, social media personalities and fashion week coverage only growing with each season, Osunas fitness posts are a welcome reminder that youre allowed to be yourself at whatever size.

We are all a work in progress.
