By how your clothes start to fit better (or better yet, not at all) and by how you can amazingly do more every week. But I do advise checking that scale just once to see what your starting point is. And then keep away from it for at least a month of constant work. It's hard, and very easy to lapse. VERY easy to lapse. And go back to where you were, or worse. It just means starting back fresh. Which is where I am now. Starting over. I've been here before and know I can do it. Now I just have 30 lbs to get back to where I was 3 years ago. Grrr. But I can do it. And you can to.<BR/><BR/>Also:<BR/>http://home.insightbb.com/~eowynchallenge/Walk/walk.html <BR/><BR/>It might just tickle your fancy. I don't actually check where I am very often anymore, but I've been AMAZED at how far I've gotten.<BR/><BR/>{{{hugs}}}<BR/>You can do it!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205035567123747141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898732700364840297.post-50344683999525175652009-02-03T05:08:00.000-08:002009-02-03T05:08:00.000-08:00Alternately, ignore that stupid scale, and judge b...Alternately, ignore that stupid scale, and judge based on how much your ability increases. What's important on your trip is the ability to walk distances and hills, right? Also, you may find your body shifting around without the actual weight number going down very much; that's what happens to me, anyway.<BR/><BR/>Finaly comment: I still think you should set up an audio or vidoe recorder one night while you sleep. If you still make those gasping noises at night that you did when we shared a hotel room at ICON that one year, I think you should get looked at for sleep apnea. It's a source of both weight gain & fatigue. Sorry if I harp on it, but you SCARED me that night! *hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
