Earlier this month, we shared a few of our top tips for finding your “happy weight.” Now, don’t get it twisted. To us, “happy weight” is more of a feeling or a comfortableness in your own skin rather than some unrealistic, ideal number you’re chasing. After all, no matter your size and the number on [...]

Does the Scale Make You Crazy?
FBG Tish recently tried a digital weight scale that drove her bananas. We’ve long said that leaving your self-worth in the hands of a number on the scale is a quick way to drive yourself to the I-don’t-like-myself loony bin, and, I for one, only weigh myself about once a week to do a quick check-in on [...]
How Often Do You Step on the Scale?
Even though Erin and I swore off letting the scale control our self esteem years ago,it’s still a good idea to have a ballpark idea of what you weigh in case you go to the doctor’s office for your annual check-up and learn that you weigh 15 pounds more than your last visit. At first [...]
