I don't own scales. I personally think that having a set at home is worse than useless. They only demoralise. Keep up with the measurements and by noticing how your clothes fit... that is the best indicator. As all the girls have said muscle weighs more than fat. The more muscle you have the more they will "eat up" the fat with their energy needs. keep up the good work! BTW if you really need to weigh yourself ask your doctor if you can do it when you visit... that's what i do... they are more likely to be accurate too.
