Looking Forward to Buying a Scale!

[trizzy35 50]

Haven't had a scale in the house for about 2 years....now that surgery is over and I am home safe and sound, I am actually looking forward to going out and buying a scale today!!! It will still be depressing to see that astronomical figure, but oh how satisfying it will be to (hopefully) watch it go down...downnn....downnnnnnn...

Imagine that, no fear of a scale anymore! That's great. I hope to get over my fear too shortly....

OK, this sounds like a NSV (non scale victory) but since a scale is involved.... tough call. Either way, it is a cool thing to Celebrate. Thanks for sharing! I hope you learn to love jumping on the scale and seeing those numbers go down!

Ha--YES!! I weigh myself in the morning and at night, and I am loving to see the weight drop! I got a digital scale, so at least it might be a little more accurate! My kids are loving it too--"oh, I'm 80 pounds, I'm 139.."etc... It is crazy though that I need to "lose" about 1 kid to be down to my goal weight!

I have teenagers, and my youngest daughter weighs 115 pounds. I keep telling her I'm trying to lose her.

I actually ditched my digital scale (it never was accurate) and bought an old-fashioned one for $8. Of course it weighs perfectly!

yes some digital scales can be junk - I own two Tanita brand, they are awesome and always accurate - have had my oldest one for about 10 years I guess. Got the second one because it measures in .2 increments where original was .5. Tanita is the brand that weight watchers uses at their meetings.
