I agree. Since I already log my weight every time I take a bath, but
I'm possibly confusing the issue of weight by developing muscle mass,
I picked up a cheap second hand pair of large measuring callipers at
my local tool shop the other day. Now in addition to running a tape
round my waist, I'll be able to measure some skin fat pinches and
muscle sizes. I find keeping such logs helps to motivate me to keep up
the exercising and keep down the snacks :-)
