I know this is crazy, but I am afraid to step on the scale until the end of the month because I just went under 200 lbs (198 to be exact)!  What if the dreaded water weight or ANYTHING, clothes, wet hair, etc puts me back over 200... I NEVER want to be there again!!!! I will weigh myself on the 31st when I record my August weight loss.  Ok so I am just a little obessive about this. :) Diane

Hey Nancy, I know you are right!  I am just so excited about being under 200 lbs I don't ever want to see 200 lbs again! That said, I will stop worrying.  Lord knows if I don't have time for that!  LOL  Ok.. I see you are nearing the 200 lbs drop off point!  Let me know how you feel when you weigh in at 199!  :)  Thanks Nancy! Diane

I absolutely understand! I'm sure that you'll be delighted when you step on the scales again on the 31st.

Keep up the good work and know that the numbers will keep heading south as the surgery and all you are doing work.

Thanks Barb! I know you are thankful to drop 2 more lbs!  I believe I have too.  I can usually feel the weight loss.  Had to get a jump for my car... left the darned car on ACC and the battery went dead.  That's the 2nd time this year.  sigh... another senior moment.  Time to get ready for work. Fondly, your friend, Diane

These senior moments are enough to drive a sane person crazy LOL .... Sorry to hear about your battery.

I just weighed and I'm up a half pound. But my whole week is going that way. Hopefully, it will all get better soon.

Take care,

Barb

Diane....Congrats on being in Onederland!!! That's awesome. Try to stop waiting on the 'bad news' and begin to look forward to the GREAT news because it's going to keep on coming!

Don't go from being a slave to food to a slave to the scales. The scales are now our friend... It's All Good
