How do I know if I lost any weight?

[guest2013-1]

Okay so I haven't got on a scale yet, but my pants fits more loosley than they did before. Have been walking for 40 minutes a day for a month or so now and have been eating right mostly. 3 meals a day etc.

Other than feeling good and noticing the pants thing, I don't notice much else and I'm a bit wary in trying to find a scale to see how much I have lost IF AT ALL ANYTHING.

How would I know if I lost weight without a scale?

By using some complex calculations and measuring how deep you sink into water? This, of course, comes down to being a scale as well. Just get on a scale. That said, weight is a silly measurement. Muscle weighs more than fat, volume for volume, so you might actually not have lost any weight or even gained, even though you're actually thinner - which is the main thing.

Its not always about losing weight as such, you sometimes just get more toned(thats why your pants fit better). ITs about living more healthy then you did

Congrats on feeling better and sticking to a plan.

Keep it up.

in order to know if u lost weight you would need to have benchmarked yourself prior to something ... have people commented on you looking thinner? ...

The comment about toning is on track I reckon. By walking you are burning more calories than your body is used to. By eating less you are consuming less calories than usual. So you should loose weight. Muscle weighs more than fat though so you can get slimmer but weight more in theory.
