Thanks guys!

[Simba's Mom]

I came to this board tonight for some consolation. I starved myself (it felt) all week and I only lost 2 whole pounds. Then I read about people following things and actually gaining weight, and I thought "that could happen. So consider yourself lucky-keep at it". And to think I was so down and unmotivated, ready to give up. And then I also found out from these boards that I'm not the only one obsessed with weighing myself. I finally had to tell DH to hide the scale and only bring it out for me once a week for weigh in. So thanks everyone! 16 more pounds to go!

Hey, 2 pounds is great!

Remember--that's 52 pounds a year!!

Hey, Simba's Mom! 2 pounds is great!!! I hope you really weren't starving yourself though!

I should follow your idea and have my DH hide the scale. It's my sworn enemy now.

Glad to see you here! Hope you stick around and join in the fun!!!

Two pounds is twice as much as I lost, good job! You are going to be at goal before you know it.

Simba's mom,

What a great place to turn to when you need some consolation. You know you'll always find the best, friendliest folks anywhere right here.

Two pounds? That's terrific!

Try this: Next time you go to the grocery store, pick up a 1 pound tub of butter. Then pick up another 1 pound tub of butter. Take a good, long look- that's a really good loss! Keep up the great work!
