Howdy folks (I say "howdy" because I was born and raised in WY) - Yes there are black folks there :tt1: LOL!! Anyway.. I did pretty damn good today. I walked 5 miles outside UPHILL. It took me 1 1/2 hrs but I did it baby! So that's the good news.. the bad news is that I am trying NOT to weigh myself everyday.. and I have not been successful :unsure:... I get tempted everytime that I look at the scale. I have toold myself that I will just have the fam hide it.. But knowing me I will go on a scavenger hunt for the damn scale like I'm playing "Where's Waldo?" (Sigh).. I KNOW it will seem like I am loosing a lot (not that I am complaining now) if I wait and weigh myself once a week versus every day. So we will see.. Pretty much just checkin in.. I'm starting to ramble, so I will holla at ya'll later :confused:

I know where you are coming from I tell myself I will not weigh tomorrow, I will weight a few days and bam first thing in the morning I am on that scale!!! It was great at first averaging a half a pound a day loss sometimes a whole pound :)) then when it went up a pound I freaked. It came back down a day later but I now have this obsession with checking the scale every single morning. I have lost fourteen pounds in the past 3 weeks so I shouldn't be stressing but I do. I think it is because I still have so much to lose. Thanks for the post you are hella funny, I can just see y

oops it posted before I finished lol - I was going to say I can just see you looking through everything for the hidden scale. My teenage daughter took mine upstairs one day to use it and I was looking everywhere the next morning waking the kids asking "Have you seen the scale?"

LOL! You sound like me! Btw, 14 lbs is awesome! In a week?!? But see.. this proves we need to quit being scale whores because if you would have waited an entire week to see the 14 lbs lost, you would have been SUPER stoked... Not that you are not happy.. but it would have made it that more exciting.. I know, I know easier said than done.. We better stop this madness while we are ahead, or we're going to be feautured on the next damn episode of "Intervention" LOL! Keep me in touch!

Oh my gosh....their are other's out there like me. I weigh in the morning. Then....just to make sure I did okay for the day....I weigh at night. It is insane. I have this inner fight with myself that I will just weigh myself on Saturdays. I have yet to achieve that goal. LOL

There is nothing wrong with being a scale whore.

You just can't let the daily fluctuations frustrate you.

I weigh myself multiple times a day and only record my weight once a week.

Five miles in 90 minutes is a pretty good pace. Congrats!!

Hey I am 14 months out, 91 lbs down and I have Always weighed and recorded my weight EVERY day. ? That is the only way I can see WHAT and How what I eat is affecting my weight. I also used Ketosis to burn fat faster on my diet plan and then I had to weigh every morning, after the first urine and record the weight, weigh in the nude too. Best and most accurate weight of the day. I do not just jump on the scale at all times during the day, only in the AM. Bought a new set too, so they would be reliable. Ups and downs are to be expected along this journey, just enjoy the trip.
