in Getting Started
Hi! I am a student living away from home (in a new continent) and I have no weighing scale or measuring tape. How then do I track my progress? I am only here for about 8 months and as a student, I can not afford to get a weighing scale!!!

    You could use a tape measure, or maybe some goal pants and try them on every so often to see if you're getting even closer to fitting in them :)

    I would go with the measuring tape and check it once every 4 weeks. If you do the pants, only try them on once per month. Otherwise it can sometimes be discouraging.

    Even if you don't want to buy a measuring tape... all you need is a piece of string you can wrap around your waist and add a knot each time you lose!
