20. Ignore the scale

I hate the scale. We all think of it as the end-all, be-all of weight loss measurement, but it's not. First of all, as women, our weight is prone to fluctuate a little on its own with our own natural cycles. Also, as we build lean muscle and lose stomach fat, we'll actually gain a little weight, though we're losing inches. Ignore the scale. Or, if you just can't help yourself, keep the weigh-ins to a minimum, maybe once a week or every two weeks.
