weekly scale challenge

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??

Dang Greg, I just notice you have lost 68 lbs just since the end of July!!!! I got banded in May and am down 69 lbs and I thought that was good! I was stuck at 68 lbs lost for the last month. Hope you get past it faster... LOL. Teresa

Down 5 Pounds!!!!! 225!!!!! Now I am headed for the teens!!!

:banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Maybe I WILL get that dancing banana shape someday in replace of the dancing orange!!! Cha Cha Cha

I only log my weight in on the 5th of each month. OH, that's today! Happy 6 month Bandivesary to me! I can't stop skipping today. Somebody get me out of this tree!

I want to share a highlight of my trip to Monterey. Walter and I stopped on our way and met Carol (cadydid) and her husband for dinner. What a terrific inspiration! She has lost so much weight so quickly! She looks fabulous!

I was so inspired by her dedication. It was also encouraging to meet someone who has the small capacity that I do -- and she doesn't whine about it! Now that's what I need to learn! I feel ready to tackle all the challenges ahead! Thanks Carol! :Bunny

Hey Lisa: Do you realize that right now you and I weigh the exact same amount? How cool is that? Of course come Monday all that changes. LOL!!!

I walked this morning 1.5 miles in 20 min with John. WHOO HOO!!! Then came home and did some toning for another 20 min alone. John was pooped from the walk. We also had to do some house cleaning and straightening as we have 60 people showing up tonight for a house party. UGH!!

Love you guys

Do I smell a challenge? What's happening on Monday? I never weight the same as anybody before in my entire life! Penni, we were meant to be!

Thanks Bec! Hey, what do you mean by a small capacity? Duh, I should do some band studying.

hey guys,,, my scale isn't moving that fast... it's getting to me.... i'm following that sloooooooow 1 lb a week..... if that....and another thing... why does the bad stuff go down sooooo easy...

Miss Lisa,

Small capacity is probably good restriction -- I don't know! :D I've just never been able to eat more than half a cup or less since surgery. That's a good thing, but I whine about it all the time. :ermm It hurts if I eat more, but I don't pb. I guess that's just my body's way. It was just good to actually see someone else eat so little, rather than just hear about it. I felt like a normal bandster. :D

Lisa - You are doing so great!

You all have had amazing success!! I am so proud for each of you.

Hey everyone, I know its not monday, but I finally got past the 265 mark, wooohooooooo. Made my day. I am doing the jig :banana

I am managing to stay focused through this darn divorce, its getting nasty now.......... I hoped to avoid that........ but oh well, it can only get better!!!! I am still walking........ 2-3 miles a day........ if I miss I feel horrible, works out a lot of frustration toooooooo! The more angry I get the faster I walk. hehe

Well keep up the good work everyone

Take care all and hugs to everyone.

Jodie

Jodie-Great LOSS!!! I am so sorry to hear that your divorce is going rough. As a woman who has been through 2- I understand. Walking really helped me though my last divorce. Sometimes, I got lost in my thoughts, prayers, crying, and sometimes singing and would walk for more than an hour or two! I am sending big ((((Hugs)))) to you! Take care of you!!! We are all here for you.

Jodie, I'm cheering you on here for keeping such a great attitude and walking off that anger instead of giving in to temptation. I'm glad you're not letting this ugly battle get the better of you. Keep it up! Congrads on the great loss, too.
