Being on-plan is what counts, the scale is totally secondary! Way to get right back into the swing of things after your vacation!

miriam101 07-18-2008 01:14 AM

I'm same today - and happy about it, too! I was worried that yesterday's number was a mirage, and today I'd be way up again. Also - last night my husband made me supper (he offered - how could I say no?) but he made sunny side up eggs in sooooooo much oil, probably about 1/4 c...and french fries - and he deep fries them twice. Ugh - one of my WORST trigger foods...But I only took a small handfull and ate my eggs and a cucumber and tomato... So I wouldn't have been too surpirsed if my number was up anyway, but it WASN"T!! :) :)

so:

SW: 151.6
CW: 148.8
GW: 146.6

I probably won't win this challenge, but I'll sure enjoy starting the new one out with a number in the 140's! :)

PS - Josephine - don't you leave for California today? Have a SPECTACULAR time! How long are you going for?

Fat Chick B Gone 07-18-2008 05:25 AM

Hey ladies! I'm off for Vegas in a few hours and won't be weighing in. I'm sure someone will have this one won by the time I get back!

MercerMom 07-18-2008 05:03 PM

Hey Girls,

I have a question to ask about your scales. I see most of you are using a digital scale. I am using a dial scale, however my mothers digital scale and my scale show different weights for me. I was thinking of buying myself a digital scale for my first five lb. reward but I don't want to go digital and "gain"weight. Which is more accurate? Can digital scales be off. What if my starting weight was more than I thought. Am I excited about nothing!!!!

:dizzy::dizzy::?::?::dizzy::dizzy:

vikkivma 07-18-2008 07:09 PM

Well, I've found that my digital scale (I actually have 2 - one that reads in 0.5 pound increments, and one that reads in 0.2 pound increments) are pretty much dead on to the doctor scale, but I've only had either for about 2 years, so I'm sure like with anything else, with age it would start to wear down.

The dial scale I had in the past could be up to 10 pounds off.

Yes, you might "gain", but you'll never be "shocked" when you go into the doctor's, which was always really depressing and embarassing for me.

And here I am, still at 134.5. I'm pretty sure that's 1.5 from goal. I sometimes forget where I started.
I'm getting ready to battle weekend temptations. :devil:

Happy start to the summer weekend!

McKenziesmomma 07-18-2008 08:22 PM

kittycat - you are right about the 1.5 lbs...sorry

Mercermom - I had the same thought you did...I have a digital scale but I wanted one that reads to 0.2 so I could see how close I was to a certain weight...I finally got one but I don't like it because it is just all over the place compared to my scale....I figured I will stick with the one I started with...at least that way I will really know where I am in relation to where I started! :D

Losing4another 07-19-2008 04:22 AM

I'm so happy to see you ladies still have this challenge going....After a fun summer of eating tons junk and eating out just about everywhere I'm ready to get back on plan. Bringing with me some extra pounds :eek:

Jessacaca, I am with you any loss is good , and yes, hitting the 140's & staying here is huge for me, I am thrilled! Next mini goal is 139!

mountain mama 07-19-2008 08:11 AM

Ok.. I i'm joining on this challenege at the tail end, I know. I stepped on the scale and had a SMALL freakout.. ( and by small i mean big ) At least I'm back now and I'm not gonna dwell or justify it ( even though i'm dying to make my excuses why i've allowed myself to gain so much of my weight back )

ANYWAY
starting weight: 297.8
current weight: 297.8
goal weight:292.8

DON'T LET ME LEAVE THIS PLACE AGAIN! heh

McKenziesmomma 07-19-2008 08:49 AM
