We just got a Homemedics digital scale for a shower gift. It's basic but nice. I used to sell Avon and they had one for about $50 that showed your fat ratio (or whatever it's called) This is the first scale I have ever owned...I use to think out of sight, out of mind!
Yes, me too! When I am at the Dr. I always tell the nurse "I don't want to know". I did sneak a peak the last time I was there.
I am expecting a similar number.
I put on a pair that were TIGHT last time I remember wearing them, and they are fitting well now! So, I am really pleased about that! 
It is heavenly though, I must say! We don't get it for a couple of weeks, but I can't wait! 
I love older movies! I have a Tanita scale, and LOVE it! (at least I love it when the numbers go down....not so fond of it when they go back upMine gives you your weight, and Body fat percentage. You enter your height, gender, then weigh yourself, and it figures out your BMI. I think it was about $50. That is pretty steep for a scale, but I have had it for about 5 years, and haven't had a bit of trouble out of it.
Don't know if I said this when you joined, butto our
I have been upping my exercise. I was up to walking Jasper 40 minutes actually. So I will probably ride the bike tomorrow for at least 40, and I will do about 30 tonight on the exercise ball. My goal is at least 30 minutes 5-6 days a week. I think this coming week, I am gonna try to do at least 40-45 minutes 3 of those days - maybe more. Have fun shopping with your friend!
I am not sure of my brand. I think it's homemedics. It's kinda fancy. It was $60-70, but we had the 20% off coupon and a credit from something we had returned for store credit. I like it...well, about as much as I can like a scale!
I feel that way too. So much more motivated than I have been in years. It's a great place to be, here! I'm glad you are enjoying it, and we are all happy to have you!
Do you think you are gaining muscle and maybe losing inches? Thank you for the scale tip! I will let you know which one of those evil number machines I get.
Wanted to report that I tried on some of my shorts tonight, and they are definitely fitting better!!!
Also, DH and I went to Slumberland tonight, and we bought a king size mattress! It is soooooo comfy! DH has been having trouble sleeping, therefore causing me some trouble sleeping, and he went for the pricey one!

. Anyways, here's part of what I said.
to all of those who lost weight today, and a "good on ya" to the gainers and samers. Hanging in here is a good habit that promotes other good habits.
That's the same thing I say!!! It makes me sick!!! Wanted to report that I tried on some of my shorts tonight, and they are definitely fitting better!!!

I will be trying on shorts in about 2 months. Long enough away to maybe lose more weight by then but close enough that it will still give me time to buy more shorts in whatever size I am in! I kept everything that was one size down (was never 2 sizes down!) and I am hoping the shorts/jeans fit. What stinks is I need a new pair of everyday jeans (wear jeans to work ED) but don't want to buy them now. Am hopeful I can go down one size. But mine are wearing out..I am waiting for the knees to wear through! 
Mai tai suggest that you try the Zicam nose swabs? They usually help shorten the duration of my colds. I started getting a cold earlier this week, too. I had to stop by the store to get some of those softer Kleenex for my nose.But tonight I have a cold (it's just coming on..hope it goes away fast!) and really want to eat Cadbury Mini Eggs and watch TV.
to Bee and family. You can join the exercise challenge for the month on the WISH boards.You just post your goal of minutes for the month and then post as you rack up the minutes.It helps me stay focused on the exercise part.I failed to get my minutes in last month.What are those exercise challenge things DisMom?
Here's my Easter funny:
My Grandma also went into the hospital late last night with an abdominal infection and is on IV antibiotics. I stopped to see her after work and to talk with my uncle a bit. Fortunately, she wasn't in pain and was alert and able to talk with us, even though she is pretty hard to understand. She's 100 and it looks like her body may just be getting too frail. I'm going back to go back to see her tomorrow.
Nope. I'll have to ask Mom. The marina is right off Gallatin Road but not sure of the name.
The peeps allready got me, Misty. I showed them though! Bit off their little heads.
Glad you feel at home.Also, I just wanted to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome here.What a great bunch of peeps!
Me, too! I love that movie! Way to go on the exercise, woman!
That commitment to just a little exercise is where you will see a big difference, Lynda. I'm sure of it!
GREAT!!!
Lucky! DH and I still sleep in a double bed!
I KNOW!!! We recently got a Tempurpedic and now he says it hurts his back!? A 1400 calorie SALAD!
Thank goodness you only ate half! My knees are beginning to show some melty qualities. I don't mind getting older...I just don't like looking older.I also did some toning exercises almost every day, especially for the bat-wings, and my knees, which appear to be melting.
Danielle...were you fasting for Good Friday???
I must get it now.
NO! Cheryl, I was going to get some of these when I started feeling icky before our trip last fall. I had never used Zicam before so searched it online and guess what I found.....Zicam settled a $12 million class action lawsuit with 340 people who lost their sense of smell after using it!
I took Cold-Eez zinc lonzenges and they stopped my cold in its tracks. They have a disgusting after taste but they REALLY work!Prayers for your Grandma. My Granddaddy is 97 and it's awful to see him in that frail little body that won't cooperate. Everytime he gets a cold he had to go to the hospital. He's still my big, strong Granddaddy inside there. I bet you feel the same way about your Grandma.
When I was a kid, my mom drove us to Johnny and June's house to see what it looked like and Johnny was pulling out of the driveway and stopped to talk to the fans. What a nice man. Punkin....are you as shocked as I am by the increase in violent crime in Nashville. We only watch Nashville stations when I'm at my mom's and it seems like there a murder, carjacking, abduction, etc. every day when I'm there. Is it just me???
Somehow we made it though Thanksgiving and Christmas. Easter should be a breeze in comparison!
Here it is April and I am looking out my window to snow!!! Yuck! I really don't want to wear boots tomorrow for Easter.....guess I might have too! Guess that's the joys of living in Buffalo, NY!!!
Welcome Beca!!
Congratulations on fitting into your shorts!!!Wanted to report that I tried on some of my shorts tonight, and they are definitely fitting better!!!

I had to laugh. Bat wings definitely describes my upper arms. Maybe I am a supper hero and dont know itWell fiddlesticks. I thought I sent out a reply about 4 hours ago, but I can't find it. Maybe I previewed it but didn't post
Hugs and prayers for Bee, her papa, and the rest of her family.-DITTO

Congratulations to all Losers and Samers
This may be different in your state---but you should have a new IEP meeting before the old IEP runs out of date. For example: MY son is in gifted education but also has a learning disability---his IEP expired on March 10th. We were not in school during that time so by law we had to have the meeting the week before---or his IEP would have expired. As far as communication goes--get it added to the IEP that there will be bi weekly updates on grades and or behavior. You can do that and you have the right to do it.
I typically go into the meeting with one filled out, but let the parents know that this is a working document and we can change things around as much or as little as needed. Mine are kind of different because they are transitioning to the High School and the classes are cut and dry based on their diploma route. Now the modifications and accomodations page in another story. I let them make the final say so on that page. Good luck.
Speaking of Easter...
Happy Easter Everyone!
STAY AWAY FROM THE CANDY!!!

That isCongrats to all this week's losers and samers! I was also a samer and mentioned that to Uma last night. Here's to our ALL being LOSERS next week!!!
Cute Easter pic, Michelle! Here's my Easter funny:
Boiling the eggs as I type--- Joahua is a little under the weather--I don;t see how we all aren't when the temp was in 80's beginning of the week and now in low 30's.
I HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED EASTER WEEKEND !!
