    It spins, but it feels like it sort of catches as it goes around, maybe twice per rotation? Not really catching, but like it hits a flat spot- I can hear it more than feel it. Normal?

    I had my boyfriend take a few swings on it to make sure… he weighs twice what I do (I'm short and skinny). I figure if it doesn't slip when he does it, it won't when I do!

    I did, and read the directions. And thanks, it's a tough call between worrying things are too tight/not tight enough.

    I wouldn't ditch it… by the time your current pants don't fit you've probably gained 10+ lbs already. That said, don't obsess over it either, it's normal for weight to fluctuate for a lot of reasons (for me, I can be up 2-3 lbs one day if I ate Chinese food, but it's gone the next, and so on). I weigh once a week, same time and day, and just keep my eyes peeled for trends. I don't freak out if I'm up a bit one week, but if I'm up the next week, and the next… well, then, something is up and I can adjust before it gets out of hand.

    Best advice I ever got (I've lost 90 lbs and kept it off for 2 years so far) is that weight loss happens in the kitchen, not the gym. Not saying that exercise isn't important (it is) but if you aren't being really mindful of your portions (I weighed and measured mine to be sure) you might be eating more than you think. Try to look at exercise and a bonus to boost your efforts and to tone your every-shrinking body… I once read that to lose 2 lbs a week while eating the same amount of food you need to maintain your current weight would take running approx 10 miles per day, 7 days a week!
