It just doesn't seem possible
 

but this mornign the scale says I am down by 6 lbs for the week. I weighed myself twice, and I'm wearing the same nightgown I always wear. I haven't done any exercise proper the last 2 weeks, except for a 3-ish mile walk last wekend and a tiny bit of walking for geocaching. Will do more cache walking today. And of course last week I did a lot of yardwork and housekeeping and tried to just be more active in gewneral. I'm averaging between 1500-1600 calories, which is more than I was eating before, by about 100-200 cals a week.

Is it possible that I've found the right combination for me? I sure hope the scale is not wrong; it's the same one I've been using, not a digital so no batteries to go bad. Maybe all that spinach eating is paying off? I had a few 1 lb weeks, some 2 pounders and a couple that were 3 or more...hmmm...this seems like an awfully big woosh at one time and I'm afraid to believe it's true, happy as that would be for me.

Barb: that is truly amazing. I wish I could find my magic combination. Keep up the good work.

Barb, I would say that the scale is correct and you should be very proud of yourself. It was a great week for you!

hurray for you! great job!!

woo-hoo!

congrats!!

I hope it has stuck! Yay, what a great week!

So happy for you! You're doing something right!!:bravo:

I hope so. We weighed a 5 lb bag of sugar on the scale, minus a little bit and it showed around 4 lbs, so it's probably right. I'm thrilled and hopefully it will stick. We'll see what it says next week. Thanks for the well wishes!

Hope it's not too late to respond!

Just read this and wondered how you're doing? Congratulations and let us know!

Howdy Beth. I seem to be doing great...the scale was down another 3 lbs from last week when I weighed this morning, so maybe I've found the right combo for activity/calories or the moment. I've heard that everyone is different and we all have our own special balance. if I have indeed stumbled upon mine, I am thrilled and grateful!
