Quit looking at the Scale:
Here is the best advice you will ever hear in regard to weight-management -- “Quit looking at the scale”. In fact weigh-ins should only be done with a trained professional. The focus (obsession) on weight is the very reason why most people fail. It’s misguided and dangerous.
The focus on weight began back in the 1950’s when the definition of appropriate weight was simple. Your weight was compared against the "ideal weight" tables developed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. If your actual weight was twenty percent (20%) or more above the table weight, then you were considered obese. If it was ten percent (10 %) under, you were underweight. Today, however, the term ideal weight is irrelevant.
Beware: Some medical doctors still use the Metropolitan Life Tables.
