Throw out your scale. You should not be concerned with how much you weigh, as it is a very poor indicator of overall fitness, particularly when it comes to measuring body composition.
Body composition, or the comparison of your fat mass to your lean mass, is the true focus of your concern. When presented with the choice between weighing a particular number and having our jeans fit exactly as we want them to, most of us would gladly choose the latter.
You can note improvement in your own body composition simply with how you look in the mirror, or how well your clothes are fitting. Both are a much better indicator than a number from a scale.
If you are interested in having your body composition accurately assessed, stop by the fitness department to get a seven-site skinfold test. Just remember that you will need to be tested prior to working out and do not forget to wear loose clothing!
