It worked!! This is the

first time in HOW many months??

For the newbies who have arrived since the last Weigh In reminder,

we do have a database on the Group's web site where you can list

your weekly weight along with space to mark any loss/gain since

your last weigh in. It's all informal and unofficial and as far as

I know, nobody even looks at it or changed anything in months. I

know *I* haven't, and the last time I did look at it, there was no

difference since the last time I touched it about a year earlier.

The weekly reminder is just there to, well, remind people that

even if you hate scale and the number on it, it's a good idea to

check your actual weight now and then to make sure your food and

exercise programs are working, that you're on the right track. If

you find too many weeks with a gain or no loss, something may have

to be tweaked. If you're losing too fast, you may have to add a

bit more healthy calories to your food plan. If things are *way*

different, or no movement at all for weeks or months on end, maybe

it's time for a medical opinion and get a check-up and lab work

for things like diabetes, anemia, or thyroid or other hormonal

disorders.

And if you REALLY hate the scale and absolutely refuse to step on

one, at least notice how your clothes are fitting, and your

fitness level. Do those pants fit a bit looser or tighter? Are you

having an easier or harder time climbing those stairs?

The scale, like this reminder, is just a tool. Use it or not.
