    Just another thought about that evil scale.

    A few years back I dropped a bunch of weight on Atkins, but I did it without exercising at all. When I got down around 265 I put on a suit I hadn't worn in years, and it almost fit me... almost. I was pretty thrilled about that.

    I weighed in this morning at 286 and unfortunately I've got a funeral to go to. My old "fat suit" I bought last year looked like a clown costume on me, so I decided before spending money on something I won't be able to wear soon, I'd try on the old suit.

    It fits. it fits perfects, better than it did when I weighed in at 265. Just goes to show how little the scale can matter. I'm thinner than I was when I was 21 pounds lighter than I am now.

    Just something to ponder the next time you stall or get frustrated with those little numbers at your feet.

          Congratualtions on your pantsuit fitting. I don't even own a set of scales. I get weighed when ever I go to the doctors and thats all. I took measurements this time and plan to go by them. I'was on locarb several years ago and got all hung up on the numbers and lost track of the fact that this is a lifestyle, not a diet. Way to go.
