You know I thought I could do the daily weigh-ins but I now know I cannot. I mean if I am going to let them dictate whether or not I exercise - well, that is no good. Now I just have to figure out how to get my Wii Fit to stop doing it too. :)

Hello. Can someone join your thread? I am definitely 30 something (pushing 40 something), and am looking for a new thread to join. :wave:

Sure Jolly!! Welcome!! I'll be 40 on the 2nd... but they're letting me stay... ROFL!!!!!

Asparagus... you definitely cannot let it dictate your exercise. Just exercise and make healthy choices each day and you will be pleasantly surprised at your weekly weigh-ins. I would definitely try to figure out how to get the Wii to stop weighing you. I would never use it if it did that to me. It would drive me crazy...

I would think there would be an option for this? If not, can you put your hand over your eyes when the weight comes up? Heh.

Hello everybody!!

I have been having a great couple of days. I've been losing (after a long plateau) and feeling good. I haven't been exercising so much, but life is just busy and I decided not to stress about it.

asparagus - I hit a plateau for a couple of weeks and it was driving me crazy! It is so hard to not let the scale dictate your moods. It will pass. It will pass. It will pass. Just keep saying it to yourself.

My food monitor co-worker did not comment on my food today. I was kind of bummed because I had a bunch of witty comebacks stored up. I will have to save them. I don't think he is being mean; he is probably just trying to make conversation with me, but it still bugs the heck out of me. When my husband asks if I am going to eat certain foods, I usually retaliate by shoving more in my mouth. Not very effective for weight loss, but he gets the point to leave me alone about it.

I just don't understand why people think it's ok to comment on other people's weight unless you are discussing health issues. It seems obviously inappropriate.

Hello chicks. Life has been crazy around here. Alex is on a different school schedule and I feel like my whole day is running after him. I'm also doing his class Halloween party so I've been running around shopping for it. I placed an order with Oriental Trading for three things, cups, pencils and stickers. They sent a HUGE box with cups and stickers. No pencils. The packing list says there are two boxes. Really? They couldn't fit the pencils in this huge box? At this point I just have my fingers crossed that they make it in time!

On the good news front, I've lost three pounds this week! Whoohoo! :) I'm just hoping it wasn't a fluke with the scale.

OK, off to find DH and stick my cold hands on his warm back! He's gonna holler but my hands are SO cold!

OK I know many of you will miss this but I had to come back and let you all know that I got home and did both my 30 Day Shred and my C25K work-out so I am feeling very pleased with myself.

Rileyozzy - Yay for losing. And aren't food monitors the worst? When I was pregnant with my son one of my officemates used to constantly criticize what I was eating. I literally started sneaking food when she wasn't around because I didn't want to hear it.

Karen - Congrats on the 3 pounds!!
