areellady 1 Posted August 12, 2008 I'll work on an official 12-step program for Scale-addict Anonymous members. In the meantime, perhaps anyone needing the daily trip to a scale could enlist the help of a creative middle-schooler to draw a scale on cardboard that you can step on every morning. It might be a good idea to have the message "Lookin' Good" as the "weight" that the arrow is pointing toward. This is one of the funniest things ever!!! It is such a good idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerlili08 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Okay....so I have only looked at the scale 10 times today...only stood on it 2 times...and thats all for today...I promise.

areellady 1 Posted August 12, 2008 Could make one with an opening where the number reads and then make a circle with different sayings on it and attach that on the back so the saying show through the hole where the number should be and you can rotate it to say what you want....like.... Lookin' Good Hot Stuff!! My,You Are SOOOO Light!! Wow!! Look Who IS Skinny NOW!! You Don't Even Hit The Radar!! Try Again, I Didn't Feel a Thing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigerlili08 0 Posted August 12, 2008 You are cracking me up....I am going to have to make a home made scale. Ok....since it has been a rainy day today....I did 3.2 miles on the stationary bike, 50 crunches on my upper, lower and both oblique abs, 10 minutes on the gazelle, 2 sets of 20 on all arm muscles and then 10 minutes of hitting the heavy bag....man I was sweating something sick...lol Of course when you are doing all of this in a garage that in the garage which felt like 100 degrees that sweat can be expected. I know its late and I am trying not to eat past 7:15pm but I got out of work 2 hours late so I am off schedule today. Sorry you had a sucky day HP, tomorrow will be better! sleep well!

tigerlili08 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Okay...so I am slowly breaking away from my scale...its tough... I think I may need another fill...I think I can eat more than I should before I get full. I go back for another follow up on Monday.. hopefully he will agree with me and give me my second fill! I have been good with the eating healthy..that part hasn't been a problem and I have done really well with exercise this week..between biking, doing a little extra cardio and doing some light weight lifting, I am pretty proud of how much I have done this week! ((pats herself on the back)) I use to find every excuse in the book to avoid exercising and now I am working out between 1-2 hours a day! When you all go on these 20-30 mile long rides, how long does it usually take you to cover that ground? A lot of the girls at work are really supportive of my exercise efforts and have told me they would ride with me on the trail down the street from my house, my husband rides with me every time so it is nice to have more people be so supportive! D~ are you having your gallbladder check out tomorrow?? I hope it goes well, I have see a lot of people who have lost a lot of weight and then theirs goes bad.. HP~ What results are you waiting for?? I hope you get good news! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoosierpoms 0 Posted August 15, 2008 tigerlili....I do say I think you are picking up the slack for me this week as far as the exercise is concerned....You keep working as hard as you are......you are doing great..... I think I could use a fill.....but I dont go back until Sept. Well....since we are all friends here... I had a breast biopsy They were supposed to have my results today...went and took off work, husband took off work to go with me..get there, and they dont have them back yet. So..she said....can you come in tommorow...Well...HELLO!!!!! I am leaving for florida, and they want me to just schedule a visit with the surgeon next week to get them. Hello again...NO...I am going to be out of town.. So...I am going back tommorow....and HOPEFULLY GETTING GOOD NEWS. My mom had breast cancer....so it is nothing for me to play around with..I hated the fact that it is interupting my life...I am working so hard to get healthy.....and I suppose this is one more way of doing that. I just DONT LIKE NOT BEING IN CONTROL......And this is just odd. so...that is the results I am waiting on..sorry...didnt mean to unload.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
