Scale Addicts Anonymous Xmas Version
 

OK..the old thread was kinda long. So now I'm going to start a new one. So if ya'll are lookin' for me on the old thread, I ain't there...I'm over here!Lol My goal is to lose a minimum of 5lbs by xmas eve. That gives me four weeks then I can start the SAA2006 Thread!!

So hope to see Tulip, Leanne, Flower and the rest of the SAA gang over here!

Hello everyone.

Well the guy called me to tell me he is a stupid jerk for breaking my heart and asked for another chance. I told him he didn't just hurt me but my kids who had to watch me fall apart and my friends who had to put me back together. I told him we would have to take it slow because of the trust issue. I love this guy so much that I feel that I need to give it another chance but on my terms.

Lost two more pounds. Sixteen pounds past my goal. I feel too thin. My bones are sticking out on my hips and I am in a size one now. Funny that I would say that on a weight loss web site but I really just wanted to maintain the weight that I have lost with everyone's help not to keep loosing. Still keep getting on the scale. Can't stay away from it.

Hope everyone had a good holiday and will talk at you all soon.

Oh gees...Flower! You need to eat girl! Did he give you any good reason as to why he did what he did? And is it really going to be worth it to try again? You just left one bad situation....why not just try being on your own for a bit, just you and the girls...get your life on track first and worry about a man later when everyone and everything is more stable and secure? Just my 2 cents worth in hopes that you will be ok!

Gees...everyone must be on vaction or lost internet connection but me!Lolol Eating is ok, water not so ok, exercise not bad...it was almost 70 here today..no more snow! Just lotsa rain....

My vacation is over and it's back to work tomorrow....blah...but someone's gotta do it!lol

Hello one and all...Tulip posted on the old thread so I had to let her know we are over here now!! Hope to see eveyone soon...

Eating good, exercise soso, water was good till someone tipped over my 60oz mug at work...

See everyone later!

Hiya gang...eating is great,exercise is great...got up early and took the dogs for a lONNNNNGGGG walk this morning..got into work..and they offered me the afternoon off...I'm gonna take it!loll...found out I am gettinga bonus on my next paycheque too!lol So I can afford to take a few hours off..

Water had been good and I'm going on another walk later this evening!

Have a good day everyone!

Howdie dooo buckaroos! Another day of good eating and good exercise...water is starting to suck tho because I'm never really thirsty in cold weather...I need to force myself to drink more...I've booked two more vacation days off before the end of the year...so that will give me time to finish up my holiday shopping...Hope to see some else here soon!!

Hello Splashes!

Worked way way to many hours this week. Glad to have the next two off.
I have gotten most of my shopping done. I decided to buy most stuff online.
We live 75 miles from a mall so this was much easier.

Have been eating better the last few days. Trying to get more rest as well.

Hope everyone shows up Splashes. They must be busy with the holidays and such.
Take care!

YAYYYYYYy flower is here!! WOOHOO...I hear ya on the hours...I actually got a few off early this week which was nice, but after working 10 weeks straight of OT...it's finally catching up with me. Even tho I had 6 days off..all I did was finally unpack and get settled in my place even tho I've been here 3 months! So it's not like I did anything restful except for the walks with my dogs. I'm hoping the next two days are nice so I can go for another walk, even tho it's going to be cold. Cold doesn't seem to bother the dogs...just me!

Well gang...I'm going to call it an early nite. Eating great, exercise icky, water good.

Well this looked like the perfect thread for me... I am so addicted to the scale and everything to do with loosing weight... When I loose all my weight I am going need a support group to come off the diet!!!

Welcome to the club Luvshack! We've got several members here who have lost their weight and are still posting, Flowerfan, Leanne and Tulip are all members here and have shed thier weight. I go up and down...So I'm here no matter what!lol Hay you and I are running for about the same goal! Hope you visit again!

Eating good. Water soso...Exercise is on hold as I took a bad fall off a chair trying to put boxes way to high by myself..this was definitely a two person job to be done with a proper ladder, not a chair and stove...

See everyone tomorrow!!

Just cruizin thru really quick to say good morning and to see how everyone is doing! The scale slowly going down...No junk food in over a week! Payday is on Friday and I have a four day weekend so this will be my mad rush to get xmas shopping done. No more last minute rushes on Dec 24th!!!

Have a good day ladies!!

Four days off! Good for you Splashes. The scale going down as well. Sounds like your December is going good.

My job closes down on the December 22nd and opens back up on January3rd.
It is going to be so great to have time off. I have lots of projects that I want to get done.

Have a great night ladies!

Good Morning Everyone! Flower 2weeks off!! WOOHHOO for YOU!!! THat'll be excellent, spend time with your girls, catch up on much needed rest. Are you doing any christmas crafts or baking? I'm doing my decorating this weekend...I don't like putting my stuff too early...then I take it down New Year's day. But I'm doing my yearly homemade decorations with my niece and nephew. It's alway a blast...

Have a great day laides

Hellllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

At last i've found you....I've been a bit busy and due to the new thread i wasn't emailed about new posts!!

Sorry...did you think i'd fallen off the edge of the earth???

Water not too good (winter thing here too splashes)
exercise - hey i don't do exercise...except yoga once a week!
Food - yeah - that's going pretty well

I have lost all but 6lbs from the load i put on after my fall back in the summer yeah me!!!

Has anyone heard from Leanne? Her hubby is away so maybe she's snowed under with baby stuff etc.

Christmas stuff is going well, our school break up on the 16th so i've got time to do the rest of my stuff then.

I PROMISE i will post more over the weekend as i have friends due here any minute.

Love you all lots
Great to find you all again
Tulip
~x~

Nothing From Leanne. But they got hit pretty bad up where she is with a severe snow storm so she's gotta keep the little ones busy indoors now. We got hit here but not as bad..only about 6 inches.

Water good, food soso, exercise YES!! Shoveled a driveway twice and my HUGE sidewalk 4 times!! I'm building up some Muscles!

Tulip a school break sounds good! I'm using up the last of my paid vacation days to finish up my xmas shopping and decorating. This weekend is full of entertaining and going to friends' houses for parties and get togethers. But I'm going to be a good girl and watch what I eat and drink!!!

Have a great weekend ladies...I prolly won't see everyone till Sunday!!!

Eating sucked yesterday because I ate well all day...then went to the movies and ate a whole bag of licorice by myself. SO it's back on the bandwagon today. Eating and water have been great! Got ALL my xmas shopping done!

Went to see Chronicles of Narnia last night. It was a good movie. The visuals were awesome. Kinda splotchey and choppy in the story line because they had so much to put in from the books in only 2 hours, but it was a great movie just for watching. I'd advise all kids young and old to go see it!

Just me again...eating has gotten back on track...it's easier to keep on track when I'm at work...but with all these days off it leaves me open time to think about food...but all is good...exercise is good..water is great!

Hope to see someone soon!

Sorry Slashes...leaving you to yourself....i'm snowed under hear...and i don't mean in the weather sense!!! We had about 2 hours of really heavy snow here so we went out and bought a sledge and then it STOPPED!! and rained ever since!!! lol just my luck!

Friday is break up day...oh boy oh boy i can't wait. The little boy i support is Autistic and really can't cope with all the change Christmas brings....so it's making for a really interesting school day.

My eating is too bad to go into detail the water is poor (while intake of fluids is up lol) exercise is...is....is.....why you know what i 'm like, even the yoga has stopped for the holidays but dancing will begin soon (as in christmas parties!!!)

Won't be able to get in tomorrow as i'm out on my works do but i'll try hard to call in on Friday...C U!

Thanks for stopping by Tulip! My eating is back on track until xmas...then it'll go off the wagon...but not horribly so..already got a chocolate fondue party arranged.

What is break up day?

Eating is good, exercise? what exercise?lol Water Excellent!

Break up day is Friday...tomorrow yippee we are out for our chirstmas party tonight...don't know who arranged it on a school night but phew we have been warned by our head (he's not going) that we all have to be in Mass at 9:15 in the morning...last year they didn't get home til gone 1am!!!!!! hmmmm i think i'll take headache tablets to work with me!!

don't ask about food water and the other....i'm sooo not interested! lol

enjoy your fondue party splashes

So looking forward to time off from work. Just not looking forward to my girls being gone. They are going to their dads in Arizona for Christmas. He will have them for twelve days. They are so excited and I am trying to be happy for them.
I have been eating better and have gained a bit of weight back.
Hope everyone has a good night!

HURRAY i've finished work for a whole two weeks.....now i can concentrate on getting my house ready for christmas.

I have made a pact with myself not to weigh myself at all over the holiday period, i amn going to be careful what i eat and to **** with it, i hate jumping on the darn things if it's up i'm cross with myself all day and if is down i'm cross with myself if i fall off my eating plan.

grrrrrr bieng a SA is hard work

Glad to hear you've been eating better Flower, have you planned what you are going to do while the girls are away...plan somthing really good so you don't miss them too much.

YAY flower has stopped By!! I know it's going to be hard to be away from your girls on the holidays Flower, but as Tulip says..do something really REALLY nice for yourself...get yourself a day at the spa or something! And enjoy the ME time. With all the work you do and taking care of your girls, you prolly have very little of it. Enjoy it while you can!

Tulip, I agree withyou...can't win for losin with the ole scale. And YES it's hard to be a SA!lol But you are SO good at it! You are our inspiration, you and FLower and Leanne!~ I agree with you on the don't step on the scales till after the Holidays...watch what you eat, but still enjoy the treats...just on smaller bitesizes!lol

Eating went all to pot today...forgot to bring my lunch and had to eat the Donut shop..so had some teabiscuits and way too much tea...peed like a race horse all day...But it's back on target tomorrow...it's not that I had too much to eat...actually not enuff and not enuff good stuff...too much whhite flour..threw my bloodsugars off...got all cranky at work...I'm gonna hear about it tomorrowL1ol

Take care ladies...only 1 week till Xmas Eve!!!

Michele

We'll i've eaten pretty well today and i've cleaned my house until it shone....really worked up a sweat, it's all gleaming ready for the tree tomorrow.

I have my friends children staying over tonight, while her hubby takes her out on the town...this is good for me too as i'll keep of the wine and keep busy.
Tomorrow is going to be hard, we have a carol service at church with warm mince pies for afterwards...hmmmmmm!!! I'm going to allow myself 2 only.

Let us know what you chose to do with your free time Flower!
Splashes....stay OFF the white flour...you know what it does to you....you really make me laugh....."forgot your lunch so had to eat the donut shop!!!! LOL It was a bit like me the other day....forgot lunch so had to drive to the local pizza place and have the largest slice possible!!!! And wheat really doesn't agree with me...but hey sometimes we just can't help ourselves!

speak to you all 2moro

Well woke up to a lovely xmas pressie saturday morning..someone broke into my car, smashed the one window..all they did was take a tupperware dish that I used to carry water in for my dogs when we went on big walks. So now I am without car until the window gets replaced.

Eating sucked of course because I'm a stress eater...I don't cry...I eat...so I won't even go there....

See everyone tomorrow...

Hello!

Oh Splashes! That is terrible! I just don't understand the world we live in sometimes. Will your insurance cover the cost of the window?

Tulip enjoy the pies. Have a piece for me while you are at it! :)

Took the kids to a little town an hour and half away from us. It looks like a little Bavarian village. There is lots of shops with music and dancing in the street. When evening comes they lite the town up with lights. Very festive. The girls love to go there. It was cold. Seven degrees fahrenheit when we left to drive home.
Will be glad when spring comes. I want to dig in the soil!
Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend!

Dang that's cold, FLower!! It's about 30F here. And that's cold enough for me. But that little town sounds so wonderful!

Eating is ok, water good, exercise good!

See everyone tomorrow!

Good Afternoon everyone! It's bright and sunny here but MIGHTY cold!! Walking the dogs is a chore when even they think it's too cold to walk! Not a busy day here, just going to do some housecleaning and finish up xmas decorating.

Eating is good, water is good, exercise is ok so far. But I still have 3 more walks with doggies to go!

Hope everyone is enjoying thier xmas prenups!!

See everyone later!!

Well, this thread doesn't look very busy -- but it looks like there are a few very dedicated posters! I suppose that I'll start posting here, too, as I am addicted to the scale.

I weigh myself each morning, in the buff, after I use the bathroom. I track it all in fitday and like to see the numbers go down... it has a .2 lb accuracy, and it seems to be pretty precise. When I first bought this scale I was upset b/c it showed about 5 lbs or so higher than my old analog scale, but now I'm really pleased with it.

It also measures body fat, but since I weigh in the morning after going to the bathroom, it's not very accurate.

Hm. That's all for now, I thought I'd say hello.

Hi Physdom! Thanks for stopping by. Yes we are a small group. We are missing one of our group but her husband has just gone on tour of duty and she's left with three littleones at home on the base so it's understandable how busy that canbe.

WHat kind of scale do you have? I need a new one. Mine is a cheapie from walmart. So I never really can trust it. You are only pound away from december goal! Wonderful!!

Eating was great today. so was water and exercise. Hope everyone is enjoying the last week of days before xmas!

Hmm... I think that I have a tanita something-something... I bought it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond with a 20% off coupon, so I'm pleased with it. I'll check tonight to see what kind... I really like it, though. It remembers 2 different people (as long as they don't weigh the same) so when I step on it it can recognize me as me and not my boyfriend. It was a little tricky for a while, though, b/c I started about 10 lbs heavier than him, so once I started loosing it would confuse me with him and then read 15% body fat! (That's about 20% off the mark...)
And, as of this morning, I met my December goal!!

(Though I must admit that I started the Monday after Thanksgiving, so I had an extra week and also a lot of easy-to-loose water and I-just-pigged-out weight!)

Yesterday I ate well, I made pizza's with my boyfriend and it was loaded with veggies, a little chicken sausage, and I just used 2 oz of cheese for the whole thing... he said that I was crazy -- he couldn't even see the cheese!
Exercise is slow since I'm so busy, but I'm trying to get pilates in every day as part of a 21-day challenge.

Hay Phys! Great to see you again. Thanks for the info on the scales. I don't have to worry bout it thinking anyone other than me...maybe my dogs?

My ex made the best pizzas..whole wheat pitas...not the pocket kind...with grilled veggies, chicken and feta and goat cheese..I LOVE goat cheeze!

COngrats on meeting your goal!!! Point is you made it!! I'm workign on mine...5lbs to go by dec 31...so we'll see...

Eating is good, water is really good..>EXERCISE GREAT!!

I'd love to do pilates... I think I'm going to scam my friend's tape and record it on my dvr so I can do it in the mornings.

See everyone tomorrow!

Welcome PhysDom!

You will just love the gals on this thread. They are so supportive and lots of fun!

Feel like I am coming down with the flu. That figures. I get time off from work to be sick.

Will check in with you all a bit later. Think I had better get to bed.

I definately suggest pilates in the morning. When I do it in the morning, I get a really nice stretch... my bones feel a little 'creaky' and it's nice to get that pull in my muscles -- and I don't get that when I do it in the afternoon.

Flower, I understand that getting sick just as soon as you have time off thing!! I used to get sick twice a year -- at the start of winter break and then again at the start of the summer break. I knew that I couldn't afford to be sick during school, so it just came as soon as I would have time to recover.
Lot's of fluids, lots of hugs... you know the drill.

*s*

THe Wisdom of PhysDom! That has a ring!

Poor FLower, I hate that when it happens...get sick during holidays.

Eating has been excellent, Water excellent, Exercise SUPER excellent! Plus I got off work early..always a nice treat!

See everyone tomorrow

ok you know what really sucks...when you exercise, watch what you eat, bea good little SAAer and finally step on the scale and see that you've gained 5lbs in two days..go figger!

Soooooooo needless to say I'm rather miffed.

Eating still good and exercise and water good. This is all good because usually when the scale goes up, i fall off and go on an eating binge...So my will power must be growing!

Hope everyone is safe and happy!

Michele

Hi everyone!!!

It's about 50F here today and the sun is shining!!!! I can't believe it is so warm with only a day to go til christmas eve. I am in the south of the country so it is a bit warmer than the north (where i was brought up) but still i'm running around in a jacket!!!!

Splashes 5lb gain???? maybe it's your dodgy scales??? you seem to have been doing really well lately?? go get a new pair like phys!!

Flower - huggs sent your way....hope your feeling better soon


Phys - welcome to the group, it is a bit quiet at the moment, but we're a good bunch of SA's

Anyway guys i've still got Christmas shopping to do....so i'll wish you all a very happy Christmas and i hope santa brings you everything you've asked for!!

Hello, everyone! I was browsing through the different support groups here and thought this one would be a great one to join.. being a scale addict and all. ;) Hope you don't mind!

My highest weight is 185lbs.. but I've made it down to 160 a few times, only to end up gaining it back after a while. This time I plan to go BELOW 160 and STAY there. Haha. Hopefully I can stick with good eating habits this time.

Hotsplashes: There's no way you gained 5lbs in two days. You must just be retaining water for whatever reason.. eat a lot of salty foods? Maybe TOM? Either way, I wouldn't worry about it at all. =)

Happy HOHO EVE to evryone!!!

Welcome XER!!! You and I are sitting about the same and going for the same goals! Now we can do it together! Welcome to SAA!~!! We're a small but dedicated group.

Tulip, 50 and sunny??? Send some this way!Lol I guess I can't complain, 48 and rainy...

Well, guess wht...I got on the scale yesterday moring...the 5lbs was gone! Xer, I think you're right...water gain...end of TOM....And Tulip, I'm gonna send Santa a quick email asking for new scales!!!!lol

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Holiday....enjoy the time with friends and family...I'll see everyone later tomorrow nite after I go have xmas dinner at my friend's house!
