    How about the tape measure? A great way to watch your progress and just kick the scale in the corner for a bit to keep from jumpin on it:flowerforyou:

    You sleeping better? Workouts getting easier or are you able to workout longer or add more in? These are all awesome ways to also check progress..personally I prefer them.....:drinker:

    Have you done your measurements yet? Seriously....have someone take them for you and you'll amazed when the scale gets stuck, even up a lb. or 2 how the inches shrink. :happy:

    Oh....just thought of one last thing, and by far the most important of all......... are you eating enough? Eating your excercise calories???

    Let us know how it's going... We all Care and want you to succeed!:heart:

    Try uping your exercise, sometimes that helps break those pesky plateaus

    You may not necessarily even have to up your exercises, but just change them a bit. Here's your excuse to try some new way of exercising. :wink: Maybe try a workout video instead of going to the gym or change it up at the gym from the elliptical to the treadmill or vice versa. I don't know. Just throwing out some suggestions. After being totally off track for a week, I'm trying to get back on track myself and lose at least another 15lbs. by Christmas.

    i know how you feel. I was so sick yesterday didn't eat much. I got on the scale this morning and I gained a pound. :grumble: That is when I want to give up too. Then I look back and I probalby haven't been eating or keeping track of my calories as I should be. Just remember tomorrow is a new day.
