Weight / Fat loss

I'd highly reccomend taking a set of measurements (calf, thigh, waist, chest and neck for example) and working off those as well as weight, as it gives extra motivational data which can use to calm fears that all the effort you are putting in has no effect on the scales..

Very good idea that. I had a few people at Wests telling me I looked lean (they get automatic ban exceptions, flattery gets you everywhere..) and yet I'm basically the same weight I've always been +/- a couple of kilos depending on hydration, meals on a given day, etc.
