Reliable bathroom scales available
Research shows that one of the unifying features of people who successfully lose weight and keep it off is that they weigh themselves regularly.By knowing how your weight responds to your actions, you learn exactly what you need to do in order to keep your weight headed in the right direction.
When you're aiming for steady, sustainable weight loss, it's especially important that your scales are able to register your smaller as well as your larger losses.
That glimmer of positive feedback you get from your scales at a fortnightly or monthly weigh-in can mean the difference between continuing with what you're doing because you know you're on track, or giving up because you think it's not working.
When the number you see on your bathroom scales can make or break your continuing weight loss efforts, make sure you're getting the right answers.
I've spent so much money and unnecessary anxiety over the years on bathroom scales that gave me dodgy readings, so I finally bought a set from a medical supply company.
My new scales cost twice as much as any other scales I've ever bought from a department store, but they're sturdy and dependable and the peace of mind they give me is worth every cent.
If you'd like to purchase the same scales and find peace of mind at your regular weigh-ins, I now have several more sets available through my E-Shop. For details, click here.

"Dear Dr Amanda, I was very happy to receive your reply to my email. Thank you very much. I purchased your book 'The Don't Go Hungry Diet' and I started putting it into practise on 11th April when I was part way through the book. This will only be the method for me, I just have to dispose of my vast library of other diet books. I weighed and measured yesterday and less than 3 weeks I have lost 2 kilos and 1" around my waist. My weight is now 89.9 kilo. My height is 7'7". Sorry about the measure but I just can't get used to centimeters. I have a pedometer and I manage 8000 to 9000 steps a day. It is still hot here during the day so walking is confined to either early morning or late afternoon. I have made myself a success diary in a notebook and I can honestly say I never feel real hunger. I am not a big breakfast eater, I either have cereal or toast. I don't feel like any more to eat until after 2pm in the afternoon. Then I eat my evening meal about 7pm, which is a light meal. I have relished in the fact that I can eat a large variety of foods and seasonings. It is quite exciting really when I have dieted all my life. I don't look at myself with revulsion anymore because I know there is a way to control it and it is so simple. I just need patience. I have had famine reactions of fatigue, dizziness, lack of concentration, nausea, headache which disappear when I eat something like a small cinnaman doughnut, a peanut butter sandwich or a muffin from your recipe. I have stopped having the severe reactions now. I have baked several batches of those muffins and they are very popular. Yours sincerely"
