Now I look at things a bit differently. It's not as much about the number on the scale as it is about overall health. I'm always looking for ways to get better, and set goals that don't ignore the scale, but don't use it as my only barometer of success.

I keep a "dashboard" of indicators to monitor my health now. How do I FEEl? What are my measurements? What are some small ways I can improve each month? I still have some weight to lose, but now I'm training for the long haul. I'm learning how to make this weight loss stick!

Love your status! That made me literally LOL! How true.

Great questions. I should have a better idea next month on my annual physical. Another reason to lose more weight. I believe there are slight movements in the measurements but because that is hart to measure the exact point each time they are not showing up.

Thank you so much for your supportive comments on my blog. Mom is worse today and we're not sure she'll make it out of this so the thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated.
