babs963 201 Posted April 2, 2013 So what's your new obsession since you started your weight loss journey? Everyone says that you shouldn't weigh yourself every day but I figure I quit smoking and gave up wine for a healthy new life.... Im going to weigh myself... It keeps me honest. My other new obsession is body lotions, creams, oils, you name it. Trying to keep the skin hydrated both inside and out lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially since I bought a new one oh and mirrors...it doesn't help to have full length mirrors in the house lol Yes I must admit I want a new scale. The one I have now doesn't have "decimals". My husband agrees we need a new one since he's dieting also. ( he's my old obsession and biggest supporter) haha!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmcgloon 127 Posted April 2, 2013 coffee. I always liked an occasional latte, but I now drink coffee everyday. I usually do Decaf but ocassionally if I'm really tired I'll do regular. I also weigh myself daily, sometimes more than once. If you weigh yourself right after you wake up and go to the bathroom, before you eat or anything, it's the lightest you'll be all day I use that as my "true" weight, as I can "gain" at least a pound or 2 throughout the day. I always "lose" it by morning though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sc_mama4 92 Posted April 2, 2013 I'm a little further out than y'all, but one thing I've used as a big tool with me is music. I've got into music I never in my wildest dreams thought I would. Since my mother passed I do a lot of speaking about organ donation and I've become involved in that. I also enjoy cooking a lot more than I use too because it doesn't hurt my feet to stand like it use too so I really go crazy in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny this morning I got up at like 5 am to use the bathroom and tip toed down the hall to weigh myself (the scale is in my daughters bathroom) because I new she was getting up early and I would loose my window of opportunity. When I came back into the bedroom my husband had woken up and he says "hey go grab the scale, I want weigh myself too!" We both started laughing. Oy vey!!! 1 cookier224 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
