But you can measure those results in SO many more ways than just the

numbers on the scale. How are your clothes fitting (getting looser?)? Can

you walk up stairs without feeling winded? Have you managed to accomplish

something in your exercise routine that you couldn't before, such as

walking further, or doing more cruches, etc.? Can you cross your legs?

The numbers on the scale are just one way of measuring progress, and may

not always be the most accurate one, particularly if you are gaining muscle

mass but losing fat. So - weigh yourself, but not frequently. Besides if

you wait a couple weeks or a month before getting on the scale, the result

is usually much more dramatic and exciting anyway ;o)
