Scale victory for today :)

[Julie121212 58]

Almost everyday is a scale victory for me since I got my lap band. It's been a little over 6 months and just the fact that I am willing to weigh myself everyday is a huge step in the right direction for me! Makes me fact the fact of my weight! But today is a day I have been reaching for. It's not "onederland" which is next goal but today I went from 209 lbs to 208 lbs. So what you might ask? For me, being 5'10", I go from a 30 BMI to 29.9 BMI. "Obese" to simply "overweight." Yes, I'm overweight but no longer obese. Who knew that could be a great feeling??? Now on to "onederland" and then my license weight! Baby steps all the way!

Hi 5. You are absolutely right. All those milestones are just as relevant as the scale #s (dropping clothes sizes, new bmi ranges, ability to do something physically you couldn't before etc). When I got to BMI 24 and was "normal" weight range I just didn't know what to think. It was just as relevant as being 155 or size 6. Find those little milestones and Celebrate them> They all serve as great motivation to keep going!

I know a lot of people avoid weighing everyday but I chose to use the scale as a helpful tool to find out how my body reacted to more effectively.
