  • I don't rely on a scale to gauge success or failure. I depend on how I feel and how my clothes are fitting. When I go to the doctor and they insist I get on the scale, I look the other way and request they don't tell me what it says.

  • I no longer own a scale. And when I'm at the doctor's office and they insist on weighing, I ask them not to tell me. I gauge my progress by how my clothes fit and how I feel.

  • Once you are out from under the daily pressure of a bad marriage, you may find it easier to lose the weight. As others have said, get counseling for yourself.

  • I am 5' 10" and currently at 269 pounds (down from 282). I am aiming toward 175 pounds, and then will re-evaluate. When I was younger, I was comfortable at 145 pounds, and was a size 10. I don't know if that would be too thin at age 55 or not.
