I still check the scale, but I can tell I'm building muscle and things are rearranging. Have you measured yourself lately? How are the clothes fitting?

It's hard to tell with my clothes because I lost 30 pounds over about 3 months, and then I hit a plateau the last 5 months or so. So JAGG has helped me to gear up for a healthy lifestyle change for sustainable, permanent weight loss. (He says I can never have real butter again... The rest of it I can live with, but butter??? NOOOOOO)
Anyway, so a lot of my clothes were already big to begin with, as I haven't been able to replace my entire wardrobe yet. I have not measured. That would require someone else's assistance, and I don't want anyone to see that hip measurement! LOL
I know muscle weighs more than fat, people tell me that every time I have a disappointing result LOL but I'm going to blame it on the cookie I had this weekend instead to hopefully keep myself from repeating my mistakes. Also, JAGG has instructed me to save all the fatty foods for the starving African children, so I may have killed an orphan with my cookie :P
