After gaining 12 "happy pounds" from my new marriage and sporadically dieting
to try and lose a little weight here and there. I am FINALLY serious about losing this weight. I'm tired of letting my weight control my emotions. "Oh, my jeans that used to fit now have a gross muffin top, I'm going to be mad and angry for days." I'm tired of it.

I am a 'Monday Starter" for dieting so I've been doing really good so far. Even when my husband made pizza. Ugh, so good. I didn't eat his crust the way I normally do (yay me!)

So I ordered a scale from Amazon, and it came yesterday. I weighed and was 5lbs less than what I thought I was weighing (yay again!) It was motivating to say the least. My first goal is 130, then I'll try for 120.

Welcome and good luck !

Happy News with the new scale!!


(Seems to work the other way around for some of us!)

I weighed 141 the doctor's office, my eye opener, so when I bought my scale I was expecting the same number. Low and behold it was less. Though I had been dieting a little. Not healthily, cutting cal's to less than a thousand. Yikes I know. So I'm trying to do 1200 a day w/ cardio and more food!

How cool is it that your are already lower than you thought you would!

Many of us got a stroke when we started dieting because we were heavier that we thought we were...

Good for you!!!

OhMahGawd!! I still to this day wish this would happen to me. LOL

I love weighing in on new scales and seeing if I see a miracle decrease. But that's awesome, I hope your journey treats you well.

Set your eyes on the prize, nothing is impossible xo Good luck!!

Congratulations on getting started!! And whoa! Being lower than you thought almost never happens! Off to a good start! Keep up the good work!
