Re: been same weight

Scales schmales. Scales won't tell you how much fat you lost or how much muscle you've gained. So if you gained a pound of muscle but lost a pound of fat, the ol' scale will show you haven't lost anything. If you lost a pound of fat but are retaining 2 pounds of water, the ol' scale will show you've gained a pound.

Make friends with your measuring tape. Dr. ATkins wrote that the loss of inches was a better indicator of fat loss.

Just remember unless you walk around with a sign that says "Hi. Today I weigh _____ pounds." No one will know your weight, but everyone will notice how much slimmer you look and how much looser your clothes are fitting.

Re: been same weight

I know how this feels. I had to eventually stop weigh myself every day. Now I just weight in ever 4-5 days.


That darn scale can be just as addicting as food.

Re: been same weight

If it feels better when you stop banging your head against the wall, doesn't it make good sense to stop? Back away from the scale. Farther, farther, farther...yep....100 miles away is good.

Do remember you can lose entire sizes on Atkins and never see any scale
movement at all.

If you are looking for serenity and peace, leave the scale ritual behind. It is entirely possible to live without it.

Re: been same weight

The scale is evil ... I ditched it altogether this time around. I started Atkins ~ 5 weeks ago and I have NO idea how much I weigh. All I know is that I'm 2" smaller and feel a LOT better.

Ditch the scale and measure and this thing will just plain work!

Re: been same weight

Yep, think we've all been here. I always use my measuring tape to cheer me up when I need to see the progress. I also flip to the first page in my journal and see my beginning measurements and sometimes this puts a smile on my face all day.

ACK! How'd you know about my sign???

Definitely hang in there, Loana! It will come off. It took a month to lose 2 pounds but it made all difference I needed for my last pair of pre-baby jeans. It is time for the tape measure. Hang in there!!
