I gotta tell ya, I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting on the scale. I don't know what it is about stepping on that scale and watching the number go up and down like it does, but it motivates me either way. If the weight is up, then it makes me determined to get it down. If my weight is down, then I rejoice and let that push me to even greater success. In fact, this study proves those who weigh often are usually the most successful at keeping their weight off over the long-term. See similar questions...

Although we make several Bird related things (bird marionettes, boingy birds, costume feather wings, and feather head and hairpieces) we haven't yet participated in Easton's Fabulous Water Fowl Festival. After selling our wares for 33 weekends at the Renaissance Festivals each year it's fun to attend this November event as patrons of the arts, rather than sitting behind a table.

Our saddles are not cheap. The question should be is "Why are the other saddles so expensive". We are less expensive because we do not have the overhead the other manufactures do because of their mass production. We build one saddle at a time. We do not pay for warehouse space, employees, storage fees, extra machinery/equipment, middle man expenses, sales commissions and the retail price increases added on by the retail stores.

NO, but a lot of relatively tall (5'6" and up) and slim but not skinny women fit into smaller men's sizes very nicely. See similar questions...

We recommend that you weigh yourself once or twice a week, always on the same scales and under the same conditions (preferably in the morning, naked, when you are not dehydrated). The most important thing is to measure weight changes over a long term. Every weighing scale is calibrated differently and there can be some differences between the measurement results on two different products. However, if these variations are under +/- 2kg, then the product is not defective. See similar questions...

Every morning at the same time of day. This is your true body weight. It never hurts to be aware of your body weight. This is a good habit to get into before your maintenance program, because if you ever notice a small weight gain you would be likely to respond by promptly getting stricter with your diet.

It all starts with a saddle tree made in the saddle makers own tree factory. A perfect saddle tree is the foundation for a perfect saddle. He has over 30 years experience crafting trees for his saddles. He starts with solid wood and tools it on a duplicating lathe so each tree is exact. This ensures that the tree will be the same with every saddle he makes. Next, the epoxy resin ground seat is set in place and the entire tree is encased in fiberglass. This locks in the strength and durability. See similar questions...

What is more important is the percentage of body fat to lean tissue. Since muscle weighs more than fat you may weigh more than you thought was average for your height and build. There is still much controversy around the "ideal" body weight. It is usually considered that a healthy body fat percentage for males is 12-15% and for females is 18-22%. You should have your body fat percentage monitored every few months to make sure that your current exercise/nutritional plan is working. See similar questions...
