    I suggest you woman up and face yourself. Stand naked in front of your mirror. Take all your measurements. Get on the scales. Record all this. Then get to work. It won't happen by magic. You have to start where you are. We all do. I understand your fear. But you have to face your fear and do it.

    I used to weigh myself everyday and found it was too much of a roller coaster for me, so now I weigh myself once a week first thing in the morning. If you don't like the scale get out a measuring tape and record some of your measurements. The tracking on mfp is great to monitor your progress and you can pick which areas of your body to monitor. Find something that works for you whatever it might be weighing, measuring, clothes size etc. There are many ways to measure your progress but I encourage you to find one you are comfortable with to take control back into your own hands. Best of luck

    Just get on it, write the number down and then stick the paper in your dresser drawer. Never look at that paper. Put your scale in the closet. Don't take it out again until spring. Repeat seasonally. This time next year burn the papers and trash your scale. You should take measurements but eliminate the pressure of body weight and scales. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you're exercising you might find that you will briefly GAIN but inches will SHRINK. Some people can't handle that paradox, but remember that it really is working and stay on your plan. Scales suck.
