Doug,

I may have mentioned this before, sorry if this is a repeat.

Like most people, I had several plateaus while in weight loss mode. Two
things kept me motivated throughout the process -- my logs, which
clearly showed that I was doing things right; and my tanita scale. You
see, my scale measures both weight and body fat percentage (yes, we are
into the accuracy versus precision thing again but whatever). At times
that my weight loss didn't budge, my bf% went in the right direction.
This really helped me because I felt like my body was still working on
"it," just not in weight loss mode but in other forms of, uh,
reconfiguration. For other people, they might have a pair of pants or
something that helps them through. For me, the bf% on the scale did the
trick.

BTW, I do have a pair of "reminder jeans" that I wear on occassions that
food might be an issue. The rest of my jeans are a bit on the low rise
side and don't do such a good job "reminding" me ;-)
