.... weighing myself!
I was frustrated with the lack of change in my scale so I've decided to ignore it. Haven't weighed myself in a couple of weeks.
I may be of a different mindset from other folks though. While losing weight is a long range goal, the real deal is keeping a healthy balance of calories in and calories out. I like MFP because it keeps me accountable with myself. I have the reminder that I will be logging in and it's personal. If I don't lose any more weight, I know that I still have made great changes.
Lost 25 pounds, getting lots of exercise, and just the thinking about exercising is a good habit. I feel pretty fit now and think I'll live longer.
So goodbye scale. I'm doing my thing because it's the healthy way to live my life from day to day.

Great attitude! Some people give the scale too much control over their lives.0
