"I tell people, 'Put your scale in the garage sale,'" says exercise specialist Jan Thilges.

Thilges tells people to weigh themselves only once or twice a month. She says it's more important to judge weight by how your clothes fit and how you feel.

"Look at things like -- are you sleeping better at night. Do you have more energy to mow your lawn or play with your kids. Can you open that jar of mayonnaise without struggling with it. Can you climb three flights of stairs at work without being winded. Can you do daily activities without being challenged with them," says Thilges.

Thilges says exercise is the answer to wellness. She says people have to realize they can't always control their body shape, but they can control what they do with it and what kind of food they put into it.
