AGENDA

- Call to Order

 

- Creed: Submitted for the group's Changes & Approval

o I am a Scale *****. I wear this title with pride. Keeping track of my weight and use of a scale is an important tool in my journey toward or at a healthy weight. I am only one of many others like me and together we are a group. Although our journeys and choices may be different, we are bonded together by the common strategy of keeping a careful eye on our weight. I will share freely and will educate others on my strategies so that others may learn from my experiences. I will accept, respect and support my fellow Scale Whores regardless of their choices and alternate strategies without passing judgment, regardless of my personal views. I will unite with this group to defend against the prejudices and intolerance of others in order to preserve the support and accepting atmosphere of this group. I am here to teach and to learn, to find support and give it, so that I can more successfully reach or maintain a healthy weight.

-Review of Qualifications for Joining SWA:

o Join Us!!! If you're not sure whether you qualify as a Scale *****, read HERE on LBT. Otherwise, anyone who tracks their weight through use of a scale (either at home or at a Doctors) and enjoys doing so (OK, maybe 'enjoys' isn't the right word when getting on a scale) is welcome (so pretty much anyone who doesn't want help or doesn't think this is an affliction).

 

- Role Call and Reading of Minutes of Last Meeting:

o If you'd like more information; HERE on LBT is our 1st meeting on LBT in February, '09.

- Swearing in and Initiation of new members:

o Scales and Measuring tapes will be involved…don't worry, it's all done in a pitch black room and we've all survived…so far. You may put on your blindfolds NOW.

Hi, I'm Lena and a proud scale whore. I use a wipe-off board to keep track of daily calorie and carb intake, and mark my weight loss on both a Ticker here and (with a wipe off pen) on my bathroom mirror.

What I've learned in the past eight months since my surgery has been that the band is truly only the beginning of self-repair. I always knew I was a stress eater, but I didn't realize the extent of my problem until the band forced me to find alternate ways to deal with stress. I've lost 69 pounds as of my doctor visit on 17th, and that is the lowest I've weighed since I was in my 30's. I'm now 50, so it's been awhile. I'm seeing the weight fall from my body like a snowman melting in the sun. Somewhere under there is Venus, and I'll see her someday.

Hi, I'm dirttrackdiva and I'm a scale whore. (everyone in unison.....hi dirttrackdiva) I'm an unequivocal scale whore. I way at least once a day. However, I just took voice's suggestion and went and wrote my weight on the bathroom mirror with a dry erase pen. I also wrote my starting weight and my net pounds lost.

I love your post, I love all of you SW's... I am a member for sure. I will not be able to get on a scale until August 26 at the Dr. office, I have been eating like a horse so I have a fat head today. Only three meals no snacks and lots of water and iced tea. Boy, can I still eat, I stop when I get the feeling,(you know) before that other feeling when you know what happens. LOL I had two servings of the most wonderful zucchini lasagna tonight I never missed the pasta. Some days I have restriction and somedays I don't!!! My head is always worrying about what the scale will say. I love your site BG because I keep my PAWS out of the cookie jar when I am at my computer. You have been so helpful. Thanks so much for all the sharing. It has really helped me. I am only 2 months post surgery and I feel great. The BEST EVER!!!!!

I went to water jogging for the first time, that was a sight to see!! Me in a bathing suit. I was able to help save this elderly lady who went under the water as she lost her balance or bearings in the deep end. No one saw her go under (only me). NOT even the life guard saw her....OMG she the LIFE GURAD was texting on her phone and never saw what happened. Never even got out of her chair. The water jogging instructor finally jumped in when I yelled this lady needs HELP! Now picture this I am helping this frail elderly woman and I am very large and the instructor who is larger than I am jumps in and nearly swamps the helpless woman. I guess I was supposed to be there to help this person. Not sure if I want to go back yet to water jogging. It was a real work out physically and emotionally. Kathy imaluckydog to have friends like you.....

Glad you like my suggestion, DirtTrackDiva!

Hey, Kathy! Thanks for being a good member of the human race and helping the lady. (saluting you) People who text on the job ought to lose their jobs.

I'm one too. I weigh every morning on my wii fit balance board. It gives me my weight and bmi daily. Then I do some exercises on the board. I use the tape measure about once a week. I went to disney for 5 days and didn't have a scale and I only lost 1/2 of a pound. Then over the next 3 days of being home I lost 3lbs. I never understood why they say not to weigh yourself everyday. I do so much better when I weigh everyday. I didn't weigh myself for 10 years once and gained 100lbs and then needed a lapband, lol.
