That's one reason I kept my 54 inch belt. It's a bit less fiddly than, say, a tape measure. ?

and aren't they getting subscriptions from people too?

Given my weight loss has stalled a bit, seeing waist loss is motivating :)

Just punched another hole in the progress belt. That's 17 inches (or 43 centimeters) off my waist!

Even so, that one larger meal has a different effect on you than if you ate two or three smaller meals totaling the same calories throughout the day.

In addition to measuring your weight, I’d also measure your waist. I’m currently not losing weight but my belly is continuing to shrink, which is ultimately more important.

As many podcasting apps as I've used on iOS over the years, I keep going back to iCatcher.

I get those too :P

Is it sad that when I see a "local" number calling my mobile phone that's not already in my phonebook, I immediately think: scam call?

The trick will be keeping it off. That said the stakes are much higher than the last time I achieved this kind of weight loss success.
