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??

Congrats Melissa on your weight loss.. Keep up the good work!

Marie - www.tanita.com is the web site for the scales and all of their different brands , it may even have a store locator in your area of stores who carry them.

Marie... I found the best price on a Tanita at Drugstore.com.... I didn't purchase the most fancy model... mine just tells me the percentage of body fat along with my weight... honestly... I don't want to know more...lol. I also bought the model that allows two people to monitor their progress... there is a family model as well that is more expensive. I do love mine... it never varies when I get off and on again.

Actually the company I work for has it and they are big on self improvement......They are pretty expensive from my understanding....I do know that the chain of Max Muscles (that's where I get my Protein drinks from) has one in their stores....They are really neat you can tell when you have exercised or if your drinking your fluids. Thanks for the encouragement I really appreciate it........

Well I lost 2 more pounds now I weigh 210. ( 11 lbs to go to meet my first goal being under 200.) I am going to start weighing on fridays because the weekends are a bigger food intake days for me. I am taking this journey slow. There is no hurry as long as the scale is moving in the right direction.Best wishes to all of you...Janie

Janie

Congratulations on your 2 lb loss..great job!

You're right it does not matter what do you choose to get on the scale...whatever day works best for the individual..Mondays work well for me.I do not have to be at work at 5am plus for me it keeps me a little more focused on the weekends to have to be accountable on Monday, this thread was only designed to help those of us who obsess about the scale and jump on it more then once a week. I thought it would help some of us..I know it has helped me. Whatever works for you! Again nice job with the 2lb loss

o.k. Saturday morning I weighed in and I am up 1 lb. I went from 210 to 211. Boo Hoo ! I feel like I have lost some so I am really surprised. Oh well I will try to loose it this week...Janie

Monday 8/23

Last weeks weight 224

This morning 221 = 3 lbs loss for me this week.

Thats the first time I have lost more then 2 pounds a week in a very long time like 3 months. It must be the weekly challenge and the new fill I just had, both have made a difference for me

Good Luck to the rest of you weekly weighers!

OK, back from vaca and ready to join these challenges!

I had already chosen Monday's to weigh in so this is great!

This morning I weighed 257.5, which is a 15.5# loss.

Weighed today 188.2 down 1.6 from last week.....WHEW HEW!!!!Survived the week without getting on the scale........Have an awesome Day

Congrats to all the losers out there and keep up the great work!!!

Melissa

Here's another ghost story because I'm just seeing this post for the first time today.

Monday I was 266.

Today, Wednesday, which is my official weigh in day I am 251 lbs which makes it 45 lbs lost so far. WHOO HOO!!

Monday 8/31

220

1lb loss for me this week

Today's Weight... 222

Total of 35 lbs lost and 5 lbs down this week! I'd get a fill every week if it would mean losing 5 lbs!

Great job Penni and Michelle!

Darcy

Way to go Darcy!!!

Awesome job on the 5lb loss!!!

Hey Everyone,

I just found this post and I would love to join in... I really need some encouragement. I think my body bounced back very quickly following my second banding and I feel so good that it is extremely difficult to stick to mushy foods. I have had a few 'soft' solids chewed very well with absolutely no problems... but the weight is not falling off the way it did with my first banding.

This morning I was 238lbs. I won't get on the scale until next Monday... I promise!

Thanks for the support and especially for the motivation. All of you are doing so great!

Have a great and healthy week!
