Trouble with the scale

So I've been staying away from the scale because last time I used it to lose weight, I became obsessed with the number on it, and found myself depressed when it went up at all. I've decided to focus on cutting calories and working out with out a definitive measure of where I am weight wise with the help off this app. Does anyone have any suggestions on other ways to measure success?

    A tape measure? A physical goal, as in "Do 10 pull ups"? Your clothes fitting better. You feel better. All these things are ways to see results without a scale.

    Maybe on how your clothes feel? Are your jeans feeling a little looser?
    You don't have to be a slave to the scale! :)
    Good luck to you!!!

    Buy a dress or pair of pants in the size you want to be. Try it on regularly to see how close you are to getting into it.
