Hi everyone! Im new here. Got on the scale, didn't look at the numbers
because I didn't want to know what I weigh, so I told my husband to look at it for me and write it down, lol! I told him that each week I get on the scale, for him to write down the numbers and don't tell me...yet! last monday, when it was a week, he said I did good so that means the numbers are going down, yay, lol
I started watching what I eat on Jan. 28th. The first day of the big weigh in, ugh! But, I feel much better than I did before.
It should be interesting to see how the numbers progress when I finally look at the list.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am glad to be here!
Hello and it's nice to meet you. I'm new here too. I've never heard of anyone weighing themselves that way, but it's very clever. A good way to keep your head on straight, especially through the beginning of your efforts!
LOL, that is an awesome way to weigh! I try not to get discouraged because you can not lose a plb but go down in inches and sizes. And the way I look is much better than what weight I am. When a guy walks up to you he doesnt ask you what you weight, no, he goes by your attitude and the way you look. I know a girl that is smokin hot and she is a size four, toned. She looks like she weighs 105lbs. But she really weighs 140lbs. Its all about how you feel!

Thanks! lol!
I totally agree with you! And, I finally broke down and got the numbers. It's not as bad as I thought!
I'm new as well and will give it my best effort with this site. I'm the original Pillsbury Dough Girl and have always been self conscious of my appearance. I've always managed to stay solid or a bit chubby while remaining athletic and full of energy......This has all changed now (seemingly overnight!) and I'm NOT happy. Hormone changes, stress and low energy quickly packed on 30 unwanted pounds. I'm only 5'0 so it's uncomfortable and a big problem in my life. The reality of my weight gain has me approaching it from a health perspective. If I don't lose the weight and keep it off- now....I'm really just opening the door wider for all the health issues and concerns that naturally occur as we age. This community seems a positive approach as I'd like to correspond with others sharing knowledge, sentiment while sharing a common goal. Although I'm frustrated and upset with my weight gain, I'm one of those happy people. I truly love people and feel blessed by the richness of my life. That said, my sense of humor and 'can do' attitude (no problems- only solutions) keeps me going. Feel free to say hello and/or pass on some information. Thanks!
