if you get a chance, read this article. It's very interesting and insightful. (see front page of LCE)

just a comment on my mind set - I don't feel addicted to the scale - just that when I am over 200 - it would just be so nice to see getting down below that d**n number!!! I think once I see that - it would be clear sailing to ignore the scale.
Its just such a benchmark of progress.

Thanks for putting it in words, Summer.

Yes the article was wonderful. and it is so true. I seem to think I have to get on the scales every morning and get upset when I don't see changes everyday. very inspiring message.

After reading Summer's article I made the decision to make my Goal a SIZE goal instead of a weight goal.

I don't know how long it will take and I don't know what I will weigh, but if I can get into my "Goal" size it will mean more to me than that weight NUMBER, which I now know is a YMMV kinda thing.

Excellent article!

Wow! You guys!

You're going to make a pregnant woman cry!

I'm so glad the article touched you (and that it made sense!). I go and read it every so often to remind myself of these things, too.
When your journey (voyage???) is a long one, it's easy to lose sight of what's important.

Hey, I feel another article coming on...

Thanks again,
