I was thinking the other day - what if I just never got on a scale every again? Can you imagine?! I haven’t stepped on a scale since December and feel so FREE.

I hope you're feeling better soon! <strong>Sagan,</strong> Thanks! You can purchase skin calipers or other devices that estimate body fat online or in some fitness stores. You can check to see if a gym in your area will measure body fat for free, or at least at a minimum cost. Sometimes fitness fairs will offer body fat testing too. Good luck in your search! <strong>Mrs. Micah,</strong> Yeah, it's probably not best to whip out the measuring tape during certain times of the month...! ;) Emily,

I'm so interested to get my body fat measured and really must find somewhere that'll do it for me. Measuring inches and testing how clothes feel is a much better indicator of how fit you are.

At the doctor the other day, I got weighed and I weigh less than I did when I was 12, eeek! I know it's because I've been sick. But even though I weigh less, I don't have any delusions that I am healthier or fitter than ever. I would so much rather take fitness and 10 extra pounds over just the lighter weight. I can't wait to get back on the exercise wagon next week when my recovery is over. I couldn’t agree more!!
