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??

Wow Greg that is very interesting. I wonder why that is? Because your body is holding water to hydrate itself? Hmmmm....

Anyway, you guys are awesome!! Congrats to all of you for having a great weigh in! Congrats Lisa for seeing the 240's..woo hoo that must be exilerating. One thing that never gets old is seeing your weight go down!

Once I get my fill I will join you in your challenge. I am on solids and holding steady but once I get my fill....it's all downhill from there...in a good way of course!

Have a great week guys and congrats again, your doing great!

Margie and Michelle -- It's good to see it move, isn't it?! Glad you both saw a loss.

DeLarla --Those 40s are right there! Keep moving it! (Maybe I'll move mine a bit, too. )

Betty -- YeeHaw! You are on the way, Baby! Doesn't that make it feel a whole lot better?! You are doing so great, exercising and all. Fantastic! :Bunny

Michelle, you probably are building muscles with your bike rides. You are inspiring. I need to do that. Deep breath... getting ready....

DeLarla -- ?? L-Bo ?? You just playing with words or does that mean something? You crack me up.

Yes Greg I was told that too

Muscle weighs more then fat so when your muscles are expanded after exercise you will weigh more. True Fact! I never wegih any other time during the day htne first thing in the morning right after I get out of bed. You will always be at your lowest then.

Same here La_madam I weight myself as soon as I get up too. (well I make one quick stop, After all a gallon weight a few pounds). Since I work midnights When I get up at 10pm is when I get on scale. Sunday nite is my Monday thats why I was able to post it so soon. I'm not peeking during the week. It was hard at first but I'm used to it now and I don't keep glancing the way of the scale when I go in and out of the bedroom. Another addiction I kicked thru Banding. Wonder if it will work on Texas Hold-Em lol

Greg

Remember, I'm an alien so my body works differently, and I always weigh less after I exercise - I attribute it to sweating some water out. I only weigh once a day before I exercise. But today I was just hoping to get a peek of things to come, so I hopped on after my walk, and los and beholdings, it said 249. Now I know those 240s are hiding inside me somewhere!

Lots of people losing lots of weight around here... could it be the band? Betty, you're freaking me out. Maybe you're an alien cause this all seems so easy for you!

Wow! Everyone is doing an amazing job!!!! Congrats.!

Well, I got on the scale and saw a .5 loss. However, I don't think it was dust like Greg said. I hopped off and got back on and it was the same. I wasn't too upset because from last Saturday to today it was a 3.5 loss. I must say it was very hard not to jump on the scale first thing in the morning every day last week but I did it.

Good luck everyone and keep up the good work!

Now Veronica,

you have to get with the program here LOL.. Once a week...If I cando it anyone can. Of course when you get the the stage that the weight comes opff slower its better to only get on once a week. Keeps the depressions off.

Welcome on borad here none the less... We want to hear how our doing at all times.

greg

Thanks for the welcome.

I saw an announcement for this pill called Cortislim. It is meant to help you reduce a stress hormone produced when people are under stress. Has anyone looked into it?

Lots of people losing lots of weight around here... could it be the band? Betty, you're freaking me out. Maybe you're an alien cause this all seems so easy for you!

Lisa - That's what they call a liquid diet! lol I'm sure it will stop as soon as I am allowed some food!

-1 pound.

Betty, you're such a Show Off!! LOL Hope you're feeling better.

Monday 11/1

Where is everyone? Are you all not getting on the scales this morning after Halloween last night? Too much candy??

Well I got on thescale and only lost 1/4 of a pound to make it an even 62. I'm happy about it since I felt like I had gained all week long and in the beginning of the week I was eating halloween candy until Thursday. Today is a new day and a fresh week..

I'm feeling good...

Hope allf you had a good week and heres to this coming week

Hi everyone, first week for me. I didn't have one piece of halloween candy all week. The week before is what got me. I shouldn't have bought it until yesterday.

After my first fill I am ready for this challenge.

hi,

didn't think i could, lose any weight, been stuck on 260 for a month, and finally, got it moving again, i was testing all my wants and what i thought, my needs as far as food, trying get that feeling of being comfortable with myself, but, i keep failing in the losing part, and i realized, that's old news, now, is a new page, and i needed to build up enough strength to let go. of old bad habbits,and of the old way of thinking , .... so i stopped trying for my comfort food. and started to lose. i also most broke my scale , i got on it so many times , to check ..

so , i'm weight in at 257.8lbs.. still looking at it with one eye.just to make sure........
