I’ve been trying REALLY hard not to rely on the scale to judge progress. I haven’t gotten to the point where I don’t weigh myself everyday, but I’m doing better. In 2024 my jeans were 38 inch waists. Now I need a belt for 32s. I have veins in places I’ve never had veins. I feel like I am looking pretty good in the mirror. That stuff is all well and good, but you can’t really quantify it, which drives me crazy.

You just quantified it. Lol.

The thing is, all a scale does is tell you what you weigh. That’s A data point, but honestly a pretty crummy one.
If you really want to quantify: use a tape measurer. You’re getting a defacto version of it by relying on pants size, but men also do that fun thing where, as the belly gets bigger, the pants get lower, and then you see those dudes at the airport with the 40" waist and the 34" jeans falling off their butt because they can’t rely on their belt any more.
You know that’s not the case with you. Get a for real waist measurement and you can evaluate from there. The “dream” is seeing the scale go UP while the tape stays the same.
