Scale Attack!!!! JOIN ME!!!!

Ok, I have officially decided I AM GETTING RID OF MY SCALE--- Ok well putting it away at least. No more daily weighing.... I know there are others out there doing the same LOL I make my promise now, that I will ONLY weigh twice a month. I will weigh on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month (The day my WLS support group meets, so I have an updated weight). I will not be a slave to the scale!!!!! Twice a month is plenty to see how much Im losing... JOIN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont let those scales rule your life!!! Darlene 338/299/170

You go Darlene! Scales are evil! lol! I have my scale sitting up against the sink vanity....So it's kind of out of sight. It works for me. I don't step on it unless I physically move it first! I've pretty mch trained myself to do it weekly on Tuesday's, which is the weekly anniversary day of my surgery. Also, where do you buy your soy crisps? Thanks! Kirsten

I am still adicted to mine- after so many faliures at weight loss my head says if I weigh each adn every day there is no way I can opps 5 or 10 pounds on and not notice. plus the fact that I CAN weight on a home scale is still a happy thing for me LOL Danni 372/325/170

Done! Good Luck. Janet

OMG....I was SERIOUSLY obsessed too!!! Spent hours and hours and DAYS on here! Finally my therapist said...."Enough is ENOUGH", and she gave me some rules so that I didn't throw myself into a manic phase or something...lol Now, I do about like you do....Read profiles, the message boards....copy down some information that seems really important. This site has come to mean a lot to me in the few short months I've been here. I don't think I would have learned as much as I have somewhere else. And it's more fun to learn from real people, than just from articles or such things. BTW...this 6 month diet thingie seems like it will never end...blahhhhhhhhh Bliss......... ~Shan~ P.S. thank you again.....i just love her and her little pea pod!!!

I don't know if I'll be able to put away the scale and do that. I may be able to go every few days. But I do want to attack my scale!!! I got on this morning and STILL NOTHING HAS MOVED! I have been at 285 for about a week and a half at least! During this it would go 286, 287, back to 285, then show 283 then back to 285. But for several days now stuck at exactly 285. I want to get into the 270's! UGH!!!! I know, I know our bodies are trying to catch up. But enough already!

Darlene, Great idea about the weighing only twice a month. You know my hubby took my scales from me for that very reason. (I did find them they are in his car) LOL But I will say it was fun going in for my 6 week check up and finding out that I had lost 36 lbs since surgery and a total of 50 lbs since my highest January 20th when I started working out with my trainer. So count me in the twice a month weighing culb Sherry Santa 337/287/147 highest/current/goal

YAY Sherry my twin!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on your weigh in!!!

You rock! Darlene! I walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth or take a shower and the scale calls to me with it's siren song "Come on, let just take a peek!" only to be disappointed when it hasn't moved or even (egads!) has gone back up!! I'll have to get my husband to hide it for me (Lord knows there's enough mess in this house to conceal it. ) Thanks for the rallying cry! Katie

My surgery was on 3/15. I've weighed once since then, at my two week follow-up with my doctor. The next time I will weigh will be at my six week follow-up. After a lifetime of up & down (mostly up) dieting, I am secure in the knowlege, that with this procedure, If I do what I am supposed to do, the weight will take care of itself. I can tell that my clothes are fitting way better already however, so something must be going right.
