Good Tuesday morning everyone! :) Wake up and get some coffee!

Well, guess what.. my scale broke. LOL I don't have the money to go get a new one right now so I won't be weighing myself for a while! Maybe that's a good thing? lol


I like that one! LOL

Shelley0574-Are you having withdrawls yet? Take some deep breaths and exhale slowly...

My weigh ins yesterday went fine. Yes, there were two of them! I weighed and was measured at Curves, I was down 2# and 2" overall. At Weight Watchers I stayed exactly the same weight-at least it wasn't a gain! I was pretty bad over the weekend...but the exercise must have helped.

Today I am trying to cut down on carbs and eat more protein. Drink your water...:wave:

Hello ladies!

Congrats Ideal! 2" is a big loss! With that double weigh in, I'd go with which ever one was the best!lol SO Curves won this time!lol I wonder whose scale is correct?

Shelley! Broken Scale...could be a good thing! I am just too afraid of getting on my scale again. I got on about 1/2 an hour ago, and it said I am up 5lbs. But I know that you can't gain 5lbs in under a week. So I'm hoping my scale is broken too!lol

Sorry I didn't post yesterday but when I got on, the site was down for upgrades, and I didn't have time to get on again.

Carbs are bad, water is good!

Have a great day ladies!

*sigh* I feel your pain..... its amazing how much I WANT to get on that scale..... and then.. I do and find out Ive not lost a damn thing... or Ive gained a pound or too.... it can be so discouraging...

I try my best to just.. STAY OFF of it.. and not worry too much.. but sometimes it gets to be a bit much and Ill weight myself like 3-4x a day.. now not TOO often will I do that.. but.... I know what its like.. don't we just wish the lbs could melt off? Its so EASY to put ON weight.. why cant it be easy to take off???:?:


Good Luck to everyone!!! :) :)

My scale today was at an all time low-for me-152.5! I even went to a Pampered Chef party last night and I ate a small piece of my son's (he's 2) birthday cake-I've got to get that out of the house!:hb: :hun: Have a great day everyone...check back in later.

Hi, everyone. I've been a scale addict since I was 13 (11 years now). While I no longer get on it 3 & 4 times a day anymore, my life is still guided by the mighty scale. :sumo:

I moved at the 1st of July and didn't upack my scale until this past Saturday. I went through serious withdrawals. However, I was determined to not live my life by the 3 numbers that popped up every morning. Unfortunetly, I thought I was strong enough to start weighing myself again and brought the cursed thing out:devil:. I did find that I'd gained 10lbs since I moved in with my boyfriend (he now cooks everynight when I used to live on cereal for dinner).

xDas7x - I agree. It's so much easier to put weight on than to take it off or keep it off.

ideal - congratulations on the all time low!:cp:

xDas7x -- WELCOME! I know exactly what you mean. I would love to get on the scale so many times a day but I do know that our weight varies all day long from 3 to 5 pounds. So I only weigh myself in the morning times when I've pottied and have stripped naked. LOL I don't weigh myself any more than that because of the fact I know that our weight varies. My scale even has that warning on it!

Ideal-- GOOD for you!!!!! :cb: Congrats on your loss! :)

Southern Butterfly- Hi and Welcome! :) Hey, 10 pounds aint nothing. You can lose that in no time.. We have faith in you. Just keep your program going and we'll be here for you no matter what!

I, myself, have been a bad girl this week. I have been SO lazy. I've been going to the gym but only doing half the workout I usually do. I've actually been quite depressed lately. I have no idea why. I feel pretty guilty about it. I need motivation so bad! But I know I can do it, I've done it before.

Okay.. it's getting late. I'll check in, in the morning. Nite yall! :)

Welcome xDas7x! I too ask myself that question..."But I gained you so quickly! Why won't you leave as quickly?"LOL Glad to see you here with the rest of us addicts. Hope to see you posting here. We're trying to come up with a humorous version of our own 12 step program!lol Glad you could make it!


Welcome Southern Butterfly!Glad to see new folks here. As Shelley said, that 10lbs will be an easy loss for you. Just put your mind to it and have bf cook healthy things. It's hard when you have a man that cooks. I went out with a chef for 2 years. I didn't gain any serious weight, I was working out hard then, but if I hadn't been active, WHOA! I would have died and gone to heaven with all the wonderful treats he made.

Ideal, you did wonderfully! After that long walk from work, you DESERVE a piece of Bday cake! As long as you kept you to one. And your son deserved to see his mommy enjoying herself at his second Bday! Happy Bday!

Shelley, It's amazing how big of a difference there can be in one day. People don't seem to realize it. I held off on my Thursday weigh in because of the bad week I had last week. Will wait till Monday or even try to hang off till next Thursday!lol Yah right!

Have a great day ladies, I'll prolly see you later tonite!

Good morning, everyone. I managed to stay off of the scale this morning. It was very hard to talk myself out of it. My goal is to only weigh myself on Fridays. I'm hiding my scale during the rest of the week.

Shelly - you're still going to the gym, right? Don't feel lazy, girl. Pat yourself on the back. You're doing something good for yourself every time you go, no matter if you go all out or not.:spin:

Hotsplashes - I want a copy when the 12-step program is finished to blow up and put on my bathroom wall!
:flow2:

Ok Ladies...Shall we start then? I will make step one

Step 1/ Grant me the sanity to know that the scale can be my friend, and the knowledge to know when to hide it when it's not.

Southern you're in Memphis.. Cool! :) I'm in Millington... Thanks for the moral boost.. Yeah I am still going to the gym.. just don't stay there as long as I have been and do half the work.. lol I just feel like I'm dragging and have lost all my energy to exercise. uh! I hate feeling like this. What's wrong with me?!

Oh the steps! okay, I'll think of some today and get back to ya.
I love Step 1.. LOL

My old gym had this really cute cartoon above their scales. It has 2 women on it, and one is standing on the scale. The caption reads, "If it makes you cry, then don't get on it." Something like that at least. :yes:

Southern Butterfly, that cartoon sounds hilarious! The gym I belong to is more of a hardcore gym with all the big roidbois hangin out. But they are good about helping poor lost souls like me. They must feel it's there duty to help the fatties get into shape!lol

Here's step 2 for this Rainy Saturday:

I admit to loving my scale so much that is a part of my family. And I am willing to send it for a time out when it is bad. In these admissions and willings, I will gain more control over my addiction!lol

Well ladies...what do you do when you have company and they bring you carbs for pressies? you eat them...Yes I fell off again. I can't resist Bruschetta bread...DangDangDang. I'm definitely not getting on my scales until next Friday!!!!!!!!!!

OK...back on track. Had my regular protein laden breaky that helps get me started and keeps my bloodsugars level. So if I can just keep that up and stay on track, I'll be laughing.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
