Hope you can solder the speaker back on when you want to announce your progress to the world

The scale that I use is a talking scale that announces my weight. I don't care for that feature but this was the only scale I could find at the time that supported my ample proportions. Over all, it works fine. But I dread the point where my weight locks in and it begins to mockingly announce my weight to the world. My house is a cookie cutter house with hollow core doors that amplify all sound. So if I am unable to step off the scale before it starts talking, there is no way to stop it once it starts talking. At that point, I just want to crawl into a hole and die. I don't know why all scales for me are talking. Do they think fat people can't read? WTF?
So a few days ago, I decided enough was enough. I took that scale apart and cut out the speaker. Now I can weigh myself without feeling like the whole world is watching. Even after I lose all this weight, I don't think I'll ever stop thinking like a fat person.

Post a cartoon, joke, quote or picture for laughs or inspiration.

Hello, just wondering why you would skip Breakfast? You can at least have a Protein Shake or bar? Because that is what will kick start your metabolism. By starving yourself like that, you are actually slowing down your metabolism. That would probably help with weight loss but I am only almost 2 months post
Op. I never skip breakfast and I either have a shake or lowfat Greek yogurt. Good luck!

These are some of the things I can't wait to do of the top of my head...
1- Roller coasters
2- Weigh less than my husband
3- Be able to be honest about my weight on my drivers license
4- Not be the biggest person anywhere
5- Have clothes that fit and look nice
6- Be off more medications (off blood sugar meds already)
7- Not get "the look" when I get on an airplane
8- Renew my vows so I have thinner wedding pics
9- Be able to walk and not get out of breath
10- Be able to climb stairs easily
Just for starters...now add yours!

One of my favs

@@Babbs I'm with you. 25th Anniversary last December and I tell my kids the same thing - find someone you think is hilarious and thinks the same of you.

I have been married for almost 26 years, and when people ask me "What's your secret?" the first thing I tell them is LAUGH. Try to find humor in even the toughest situations (appropriately, of course). We have gone through pretty much everything a marriage can go through, except the death of a child (thank goodness), and humor has gotten us through some really tough times. Every time you're able to find humor in a difficult situation, you win. Oh, and:

I had the lap band surgery and was told i would always have to crush pills that were bigger than a benadryl.

I have had Peanut Butter, yogurt, fresh fruit, and sugar free popsicles. I use moderation.

My butt it's aching something awful today! But I'll take it in stride because yesterday I rode my bike for the first time in about 2 years, and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I remember it was last time I rode it. We did about 4 miles too.
Best of all, I was able to keep a promise to my son that we'd ride together once I was healed from surgery.

My nut told me to take one bite per minutes. She told me to help with this to take a bite, put the fork down and set a watch for a minute.

I take nasal B-12 once a week and everyday I take calcium citrate that has Vitamin D3 and mangnesium in it. I take Iron that has Vitamin C in it, and I take a multivitamin everyday.

Too cute!!!!!
