| back 20 months ago -when i was close to my heaviest weight -or the highest recorded weight anyhow -t here were really no visible changes until I was down at least 75lbs... my clothes size might have changed a little bit but there's very little difference between a size 32 and a size 26 - it's still big.. the scale was my only indicator of progress... of whatever I was doing was 'working' or not...
In certain weight ranges, I think the scale is important because a little bit of effort can make a big difference in the scale, the closer a person gets to a more realistic weight for their body.. .then there are other indicators that are much more important.
