I fit the profile too.
I have 3 additions/confessions:

- If the number on the scale has gone down at all, even by 1/2 a pound, I will update my profile with the new number right away. If the number has gone up, I won't change my profile.

- I have lifted myself using the counter or window ledge to see what it feels like to see a significantly lower number on the scale.

- I weigh myself with my clothes on and then with my clothes off, rejoicing in the rush I get from seeing a much lower number (when I say "much", I mean 1 or 2 pounds).

I need help.

Don't feel bad, I broke the towel rack that way.

that is SO why i finally bought a digital scale! i was cheating WAY bad...

you'd think you couldn't cheat YOURSELF... but no!
