There is a life after Kimkins after all! Regarding the tape measure; mine lies. I can easily get an inch more or less around my middle depending on where I measure and how tight I pull it. Pants are more consistent and it's always the clothes that alarm me about a weight gain before the scale catches up. MrsM and Stargazey,

Use a pair of pants that fit well as your measuring tape." That's brilliant! No fumbling with a tape measure. No trying to remember which measurement was what yesterday/the day before yesterday/last week. No confusion when the scale numbers go up from more water retention, or from temporary potty issues, or when muscle increases from more exercise. I made a change in my eating habits a couple of weeks ago, and the scale took a while to respond. But my tight pants got looser, and I knew I was on the right track. After two weeks the scale is finally starting to show it. Thanks for the great idea, Mariasol! Mariasol, you said, “If possible, put away the scale for a while.

Transitioning from Kimkins is difficult. For some it may be more so than for others. I have had a difficult time but I'm back on a healthy track. I appreciate the information and encouragement in your post. Great post, Mariasol. Transitioning from Kimkins is difficult. For some it may be more so than for others.
