The “JEANS-TEST": It Will Make A WOMAN, SMILE - Every time!
What's your "BMI?" (Body-Mass Index)
What’s your "Body-Fat Percentage?"
How Much Do You “Weigh?"
I SAY; WHO CARES!!!! YOU SHOULDN’T EITHER.
While some are using "fat-calipers" to measure skin-fold thickness, or calculating their "BMI" (body mass index), or stepping on their bathroom scale every time they pass by it...I tell women this:
Do NOT concern yourself with BMI, skin-fold thickness, or taking your body measurements. There's a better, simpler, and more gratifying method of tracking your progress that will really keep you motivated. Go into your closet, and take out the tightest pair of jean you own - even if they are two sizes small. Slip them on - I mean really squeeze into them best you can. Even if (for now) they will not go past your upper thighs.
If you are following the advice on my facebook page - I promise you, each week you put them on, they will fit noticeably better and better. In about 6-8 weeks, there is a great chance they will slide right one. You really CAN shed body-fat fat that quickly if you stop falling for fad-diets and exercise gimmicks.
The "TIGHT JEANS -TEST" method of keeping track of your progress KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED, BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN GENUINELY RELATE TO.
I have NEVER seen a woman get excited because she's told their BMI is "24", or because she lost 3 inches according to a "fat caliper”...But, when any woman slides comfortably into a pair of jeans that didn't fit a month ago - BIG SMILE!

Denim is a much better indicator of weight loss/gain that scales ever will be.0

I found something even better than the jean test. I fit into a pair of knit slacks - until MFP, I wouldn't be caught DEAD in knit slacks but they look pretty awesome and I feel michelle pfeiffer sexy0

That is great! Love it!!!0

lol LOVE this!0

Yep, that's pretty much what I'm doing. I can't trust my scale because it goes allover the place. I do use a measuring tape once a week because seeing decreasing numbers does make me happy! However, I'm the happiest when I see myself fitting into a pair of jeans that didn't fit before. It's so motivating to me, I now buy them smaller on purpose, just to have the next goal.0

very true, there are a pair of jeans sitting my bottom dresser drawer that I will be more than ecstatic to fit into!0
