Thanks for posting about this article! I just read it and I laughed about the "striptease" that a lot of us do at the scale before WI. In the past I was always going in to weigh with the lightest clothing possible, no shoes, no jewelry, starving, etc. Sometimes I would even get as crazy as to think that if I got my hair trimmed and shaved my legs that it would affect the scale :rotfl! I've decided to stick to jeans, and a sweater for WI now, minus shoes. Then when the weather warms up I'll just keep the shoes on. I'm hoping that will make my clothing options for WI more consistent.

I weighed all of my jeans on my kitchen scale one morning and wore the lightest pair for my weigh-in.

I had my 2nd weigh in Monday. I was a bit disappointed to be up .2, but then thought about the fact I usually gain 2-4lb for TOM, and realized I probably had a loss I just couldn't see. Very anxious to see how next week goes -other than a blip last Saturday (which was covered with my points), I thought I did very well.

This week I've only managed one run, I came down with a cold Monday and I was sick in bed yesterday. But, I didn't do what I normally do and just let myself eat whatever. I counted my points and made sure I didn't go over. Of course, zero activity will not help matters. I'm up and working today, and I hope to run again Sat. or Sun., just as soon as this cold moves on enough to make it practical...

So, I'm making my banana blueberry pancakes this morning. I'm just wondering, since I now have to count the fruit that I add to them, do I count the banana with the peel on or with it off???

On the old program I always weighed my banana with no peel. My leader said this was ok that is what she always did.

It doesn't really make sense that we should have to count the part that we dont eat.

I wear my lightest pants to weigh ins too . I hate when we transition from shorts to pants, LOL.

Hey all, so just back from weigh in and I'm down .6, foiled again batman, meaning didn't hit my 60 I'm down 59.6 . So, that gives me something to strive for next week I guess. I had a great weigh loss last week, a loss is a loss and I'll take it. Hope other Thursday weigh ins are good .

So close! I bet that next weeek is your week.


My scale is giving me fits. My dh moved it and then I weighed more. So now I've been moving it around the bathroom and seeing where I weigh in different spots. I think the floor tiles are a little uneven so I even dragged out one big tile that the entire scale fits on and stood on that. Changes again! Argh. Maybe today I'll move it downstairs to the hardwoods. Or go to BBB and step on all the scales there. I just need consistancy. And a note to my DH to not move the scale again.

Oh, Stephanie! You must have been so disappointed! You're right, though, a loss is a loss and you were down -- not up! So 0.4 for next week! Should happen.

I'm sorry you didn't hit your 60 lbs today...that must be frustrating! But you know you'll get there next week! I think that .4 will be on your shoulder all week reminding you to stay on track!

I did get to my meeting today and it was jut what I needed...the topic was pretty ironic too the scale was not kind to me, but I expected it and I am so glad I got it over with. I tend to fall into that cycle of, "it's a bad week so I'll wait until next week and it will get better", when it really never does get better. I know, I know...I really should know better than that that now but what can I say, old habits die hard

hope everyone has a good week/weekend!

oh yeah...while I was there I was talking to the leader and I was distracted and forgot to take my (lightweight) jacket off... I was so annoyed when I realized it ~ that could have been an extra lb that I could have removed

I'm sure you were disappointed, but .6 is pretty darn good. And I'm glad you thought about last week's fabulous loss (the one I'm still jealous about). It's so hard to look at things long term. Congratulations on your loss.

That is pretty ironic with the theme of the meeting and all. We didn't have a leader yesterday because she was snowed in, but I got my weekly reader and laughed when I finally read it last night. I don't think I can give myself 10 free passes in a week!

Hi everyone, hope its ok that I join in.
I had my second WI this morning and am down 3.5lb, thats for a total of 9lb in two weeks!

 

[sjms71]

Thanks everyone for your wonderful support!!! I was diappointed I didn't hit my 60lb mark but happy with my weight loss. If that makes any sense . I've come to the realization that this is the way it's probably going to be for the rest of my journey and that is fine. I was just so close..............

I was going to say the same thing about the topic of the meeting this week

Down 2.6 today!!! I expected a loss, but not that much! I made myself weigh-in twice just to check.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Man! So close! However, like many others have said 0.6 is fantastic!!

My scale is giving me fits. My dh moved it and then I weighed more. So now I've been moving it around the bathroom and seeing where I weigh in different spots. I think the floor tiles are a little uneven so I even dragged out one big tile that the entire scale fits on and stood on that. Changes again! Argh. Maybe today I'll move it downstairs to the hardwoods. Or go to BBB and step on all the scales there. I just need consistancy. And a note to my DH to not move the scale again.

This happens to me too because our apartment is uneven - sometimes it feels like we live in a fun house when a ball rolls clear across the floor... It's an old house!

Anyway - what I did was choose one spot for the WI and have stuck with that exact same spot since Day One. So, I would try to find the same spot that you had it before it was moved and go from there.

Or maybe find a hidden spot from your DH.
