Here is what I did first thing this morning...

I woke up, peed and got on the scale. STILL NO CHANGE!!! I have been so good this week. Have been getting in all of my vitamins, fluids, protein and have had barely any carbs. I exercised 4 times this week and thought I was doing great. Well, when there was no change, I got off of the scale, picked it up and carried it into my storage room and put it up on a shelf. I can't weigh myself automatically in the morning now. I will stay off of it until NEXT SUNDAY!!! I can't stand the disappointment every day. URGH!!! Hopefully next Sunday I will see some sort of change. Wish me luck. Hugs, Tabby

Hi Tabby, Sorry to hear about your disappointment today. It's good that you put the scale away. I, for one, only weigh myself once a month! Every 4 weeks to be exact. I like the anticipation and don't run the risk of being too disappointed. Good luck - I'm sure next Sunday will bring you something to smile about!

Consider much luck wished!!! I am usually really good about staying off it especially if I get dressed first thing when I get up before going in the bathroom with the scale lol. I have it in my mind that no matter what it says anyways it doesn't count until Monday. So I finally got to the point where I rarely get on till Monday with maybe a peek mid week. Do you keep track? Do you have an average per month and per week over all? I know that always helps me keep focused when I have a slow or no loss week. *HUGS* Hang in there it will move!! Felicia =)

I do keep track. I have been pretty good about entering my weight and measurements in to Fitday. Not as good entering the food in there. I normally don't get dressed until after I shower, which comes after I exercise, so I was bad about stripping and weighing every day. Not tomorrow!! Hee Hee. I'm going to be soo good this week I better see a change. This stall is sabotaging my Valentine's Day goal of onederland. URGH!!!

Averages keep me sane lol. Other wise from week to week and month to month its to up and down... stresssssssssssss lolol Like last week I lost -6lbs this week I have a gut feeling will be a maintain or ZIPPO loss lol. If I look at it just for this week its depressing but if I look at it over all heck I am losing 4.5 lbs a week for my average! As long as I can keep that up the week to week doesn't bother me as much lol. You will make it!! Hang in there!! *huggles* Felicia

HEY TABBY, HONEY STOP MAKING YOUR SELF CRAZY. THAT WAS A GOOD MOVE PUTTING THE SCALE IN THE STORAGE ROOM. REMEMBER, ALTHOUGH WE MAY NOT BE LOOSING IN POUNDS WE MAY BE LOOSING IN INCHES. I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO WEIGH YOUR SELF ONLY ONCE A WEEK OR AS THE OTHER POSTER SAID, ONCE A MONTH. JUST THINK ABOUT IT, IF YOU ONLY WEIGH ONCE A MONTH WHAT A GREAT SUPRISE YOU'LL GET STEPPING ON THE SCALE. LUCK IS BEING SENT OUT TO YOU FROM ME. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED, JUST KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU'RE DOING. DONNA, SFY

Hi Tabby, Trust me, it will move. When I sat at the same weight for 17 days I thought I was going to die. I got so depressed! Dont let it get you down. It will move. I am at 192 now. So in 10 days I have lost 7 lbs.. I will take it!! It seems to be moving fast now.. I weighed myself everyday. I couldnt help it. I turned OCD on the scale.. So good that you can put it away and not do it! Proud of you on that one!! Dont lose hope! It will get there. Maybe not for 17 days, but it will move!! Luvs and Hugs! Tiffany

Good luck Tabby!!!!!!!! Now, go take your measurements. I bet those are changing. Susan

Sounds like a good idea. In the past, I've always ignored the scale completely or been completely obsessed with it. I still weigh myself daily, usually more than once. I HATE THE SCALE AND I ALWAYS WILL!!! I think after this Tuesday's weigh-in, I will try to put mine away for the week as well. Hugs, Lisa

Tabby, good thing to put that scale up for a week. I try not to weigh but one day a week and I kick myself it I weigh more than that. My weight stalled for about 3 weeks and it is finally moving but you know at least we are loosing or maintain and not gaining. I am with Felicia on looking at the overall picture of what we have lost over the past 3 months. That will place a smile on anyone's face. I wish you all the luck!!! You are doing a wonderful job. Hugs,
