    I'm going to echo what everyone else has said - the scale is wicked bi@%$ and doesn't move like I want her to; however, the inches are dropping off. My weight loss is sporadic; I will hover around a weight for 5-10 days, then drop 3 pounds every other days for a couple of days. I, as others have mentioned, find that measuring myself and looking at how my clothes fit is a more accurate reflection of my progress. I have started exercising and lifting weights; I suspect that I am building muscle and losing fat.
    Last bit of advice - everybody is an experiment of One. Your progress will not necessarily mimic everyone else's. Some lose weight faster than others. Count those NSVs - those are the changes that affect your quality of life. The scale only reflects you're relationship with gravity...

    Dang scale! well said.
