Use Measurements Besides the Scale
What's So Motivating About Numbers Anyway?
-- By Mike Kramer, Staff Writer

Pretend for a minute that gravity doesn’t exist. Everything is weightless, including your aunt Sophie, yet it all manages to stay on the ground. You don’t know how much you weigh because scales have never been invented. How would you define your state of health? After all, you wouldn’t be able to say "I need to lose 10 pounds" or "I weigh 150 pounds, so I must be overweight."

Here's the url for the rest of the article....a nice quick read to help keep things in perspective when the &^$#@ scale just won't cooperate...and it's NOT your fault!!!!

Hey, if gravity didn't exist... My boobs would still be where they are suppose to be:bigsmile:

Thanks for the site Ezzie. Very interesting. I think measurements are such an important tool when slimming down. 140 might be really thin for one person and really fat for another.
