and it's killing me lol I need to know that I'm making SOME sort of progress, since I've got so much to lose that a pound here and a pound there don't mean anything as far as how my clothes fit. I'm starting to get down because I feel like I'm starving myself with no progress.

No need to comment - just needed to vent

I measure my waist weekly as well as weigh. Take measurements!

Any plans to buy a new scale?

If you do, keep in mind that your weight may be very off from your last scale (especially since your last scale was probably close to breaking the last time you weighed yourself on it). You should take your weight the first time you weigh yourself on your new scale as your "true" weight - could be more, could be less than last time - and move onward from there. I think it's important for your own sanity to weigh yourself on only one scale, as scales can be off by pounds from each other.

Let us know what happens!

Thanks y'all I did buy a new scale today, but this ones a "dial" one rather than digital. I calibrated it and took a "base" weight which was right about where I was when the other one broke, so I'm perfectly fine with that I'm going to miss the digital though because I like seeing that 0.2 loss sometimes but hey, this is better than nothing :P

Those .2 losses can drive you crazy though. enjoy the new scale. Excellent work on Phase 1!!
