    Thank you so much for posting this!!!!!!!! I have been having a somewhat difficult time between the readings on my scale (which in all honestly haven't been bad) but the results I'm seeing in the mirror make me smile and I found myself confused by why the scale wasn't matching to the extent that I wanted to. I'm leaner, more toned and seeing some definition in my stomach. I'm not quite ready to buy a smaller pant size, but i'm excited to see what my first measurements are since my trainer took them about 6 weeks ago, because only she has the original numbers. This is probably a good thing because I'd probably be measuring myself every day as opposed to giving my body some time to see better results. I'm saving this post because I think the information is wonderful!

    This is a great article but I'm not going to throw my scale out just yet... Mine uses bio-electrical impedance to also figure out my bone mass and % of body fat... I was also able to enter my height and gender into it so it calculates my BMI for me too. But if I still had one of those spring-loaded things that only showed my weight, I'd never step on it. :D

    This needs to be somewhere prominent, like unofficial MFP FAQ or pinned because it might cut down on the "I didn't lose any weight this week, what's going on" posts :P
