Angry I shoulda measured.!!!!!

As I've said earlier.. I usually weigh myself daily.. but only really pay attention to what the scale says on Friday. Well, if yesterdays weight is any indication, this will be the first week where I did not lose any pounds. Looks like I'm gonna have to take some measurements as well as the usual Friday weight.

Definitely take measurements! I didn't decide to until after my 2nd week when my loss started slowing down. I sure am glad I did! Granted I still lost pounds in my third week, I realized I lost 2.5 inches around my waist! As well as inches in other places, but 2.5 in a week! How cool!

I've always found tape measures to be awkward, so I prefer to use the old pant-o-meter method. Find a tight pair of pants that aren't made of stretch material, and watch yourself shrink into them.

i dont play the scale game anymore, the pants thing works for me also. i use to tighten my duty belt as tight as it would go and see how much fat was hanging over it. the people at work would see the fat hanging over it and make fun of it.... hey it kept me motovated.. my belt is way to big now and i aint got no fat to hang over nothing. i could have wore my belt were they couldnt see the fat, but i wanted it to remind me daily of what i needed to lose. i think my wife misses the love handles though. for me just lose it till all the fats gone then weigh if ya want to... either way atkins kiss works!
