One of my favourite cartoons was titled "The Dirty Harry Diet". A woman was standing on a scale, pointing a Magnum 45 at the dial and the caption was:

"Go Ahead! MAKE MY DAY!"

Something I have read in tons of posts on this site, and in DANDR book is that, the scale may not move, but your clothes will feel differently. I know we all are so used to letting those damn numbers almost rule our lives it is hard to believe. I can remember when the weighin would set my mood for a day/week, and often discourage me so much I would say the hell with it and blow whatever stupid diet I was on at the time.

Perhaps we all need to do a combination of both..pay attention to our jeans, AND the scale..but only the scale once a week? Perhaps someone should make a scale that is shaped like a pair of jeans?
Good luck, we are rooting for you!
