    in 5 lbs, sounds small, but works for me Comment by ucalegon May 2013
  • Thank you for the input, I definitely care more about the measurements than the scale! I just wonder if water retention wouldn't show up in the measurements, too. As I'm only 5'1.5", my goal weight was 105 and now I'm having to rethink that.
