Or noticed any difference in how your clothes fit, how you feel in general or how your fitness level has improved? Sometimes you can see a big change even though the scale doesn't show that to you. <BR><BR>Keep working on your <a href="http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/search_results.asp?site_search_term=healthy-habits">healthy habits</a> of eating the proper nutrition and getting exercise and you will see results. For some it may take longer to see it on the scale, but take notice in the other things too!<BR><BR><a href="http://teens.sparkpeople.com/resource/motivation_articles.asp?id=103"target="_blank">Use Smart <a href="/resource/motivation_articles.asp?id=103">goal setting</a> Techniques</a><BR><a href="http://teens.sparkpeople.com/resource/motivation_articles.asp?id=104"target="_blank">Use Measurements Besides the Scale</a><BR><BR>Coach Denise
