Happy Monday to all of you...

I want to start a scale challenge...this is for all of you (including myself ) that get on that scale more then once a week...

Today I have made the challenge to myself to only get on it every Monday morning..

As of this morning my weight is 229

This is a great way to not obsess with what the scale reads through out the week if I have some challengers to do it with me

Next weigh in Monday 7/27

Any takers??

Betty,

Sorry wife keeps me pretty busy around here right now. Seems I let lots slide while I was always tired and lazy due to weight. Took any chance I could to put off physical labor.

Today is scale day.. CAn't believe I have gone a whole week without getting on it. (wife can't either).

At work now and when I get home I will weight after I get up from sleeping.

Monday 10/11

After a weekend of drinking & eating in Vegas and starting my period Saturday I was not going to get on the scale this morning but I did.... and to my amazement my weight was an even 207 which was a 1 1/2 lb loss.... Go figure

Michelle, we must all be thinking the same. I was afraid of the scale, too, but I decided to get on. I was actually at 252 a week ago but I never posted that. But I'm holding steady - that's the price you gotta pay for drinking a bucket of sugar. I can't believe you lost! Must have been all that hoochie-kooing that went down when I wasn't around.

well my scale and I don't get along very well but I am trying to make up with her so I weighed in this morning at 275 we will see if she forgave me next week lol.

299/275/130

OK wasn't gonna get on the scale either this morning after the weekend we had. I did gain 1 lb. I am 248 lbs. I expected more but that is cool. I can lose that no problem. LOL!! That one lb was worth all the fun.

Wt... 213... I wieghed several times this week hoping that the 2 days of starving followed by another day of pooping my brains out would amount to magically making me skinny...lol. I also started my monthly... but the result was 2lbs down.

WTG Michelle and Lisa... I would imagine that fun and excitement and laughter all burn calories... all of which I'm sure you all had oodles of!

Greg... congrats for staying off of the scale... tis a tough thing to do!

Darcy

Darcy,

It was tougher then most would know. I came to love that scale when the weight was falling off fast. But I just woke up and got on it and I lost two pounds since last Monday so it was worth it. I think I'll have no problems this week. Now that I'm in the 1 to 2 pounds a week loss range I won't get upset when I have 3 or 4 days of same weight.

Michelle congrads on your loss even after all the partying.

Penni I would have gladly given up several pounds to have been able to be in Vegas. You all looked like you had more fun then anyone could imagine.

Well new week. I wish everyone the best and have to say it took courage for you ladies to get on scale after your weekend. But the damage isn't unrepairable.

Well its my 30th annive. Wife is around here somewhere...see if I can catch her and burn off few calories.

Later all

Greg

Michelle, Darcy and Greg - Congratulations on you losses.

I wouldn't gripe either if I had all that fun and didn't lose:D

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am 2 down this week, putting me at 185. It is so good to be eating again...and still losing! I made Greg's cinnamon bar recipe yesterday and expect that will show up soon, but I enjoyed celebrating.

Way to go Rebecca..Great Job!!!

We were on the road last week on my normal thursday weigh in date so I completely missed last weeks. I am going to hold off weighing this week until my normal thursday. I'll be curious what it does after all of those days of road food and gluttony in Vegas. Lisa and friends all still cook like pre-banders. It looked like there was enough tamales for each of us to have 2 or 3 apiece and Vera made enough enchiladas to feed a village. Carols margaritas were phenomenol as well as the crab dip. SO MUCH FUN!!! I'll let you know what the scale says thursday. Teresa

Teresa, we DID cook pre-bandlike. But at least I made the mini tortillas, right? However, my neighbors and friends almost always drop in on the weekends, and they still eat like hogs, so I ordered extra tamales. Trust me, they won't go to waste, cuz I'm taking some to work tomorrow with Vera's enchiladas. My co-workers will go nuts over them!

Hi all,
