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 knrpick (Ruth) and I am SOOOO a scale whore, and proud of it! I get on every day!

I am a double Scale Whore and I am so very Proud of It! You can count me in on being a member! I have a scale in my DH's Bathroom and another one in Mine! I like his the best! It weighs 3 pounds less then mine!

By the Way BG, That was a most beautiful Song. Roslin Rules! I will miss that show!

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.

Hi, I'm Linda and I'm a scale whore. I weigh morning and night and track my weight on multiple trackers and websites. I think it's better that living in denial of my weight like I used. I'm proud to be a SW.
