This is exactly why I don't own a scales. If you control your waistline through exercise rather than starving yourself then the mirror is the only thing you need.

Do you know what my biggest problem was/is?

I rarely wear trousers or jeans. I wear dresses, and mostly not tailored dresses, so they tend to fit me if I go a few lbs either way, which is bad.

But yeh, I should not focus on the scales at this point when I'm fit and healthy. Tis hard though!

I have no idea how much I gained over Christmas or whether I've lost any of it since. I wear Penney's dresses that tend to fit me no matter how much I gain or lose. But someone told me last night I was looking a wee bit thinner. That'll do me grand for now!

I'll just leave this here:

It turns out everything the Health Gestapo have been telling us about fat since the early 1980s is so much hooey! :pac:

I haven't weighed myself since Christmas yet but I think the muffin top has shrunk. Definitely feel a bit trimmer. I love this mild weather, really motivates me to get out and about. Spring is in the air

I'm two sizes down (well just about) since November, no diet. Didn't gain much (anything?) over christmas. Second year in a row

I lost a bit of weight over christmas, and have lost just under a stone since January. Magic!

Well, good news I am not gaining and not losing weight anymore! I am happy with that as I was not looking to lose any more and letting myself a lot of nice food in the last month!

Put on about 2lbs but have lost it and more since then according to the scales. I can always feel it in my clothes more so than the scales though! Trying to get into a pair of skinny jeans a few days after New Year's...it's a battle.

Dammit Whoopsie, all of my energy over the last six weeks has gone into not discovering the answer to that question

I'm starting a circuits class next week. :eek: I tend to exercise alone, so this will be er, interesting.

I am loving my healthy eating regime now. Unfortunately, eating healthily hasn't prevented me from getting a cold. Boo. I was sick last month too. Any tips?

Well done to all the weight loss!!
