ok this might sound STUPID but...

Have any of you...lost weight in the beginning..and then thought about it...and over thought it...and keep thinking about it..like the scale cant be right? LOL you dont loose weight!! LOL and all you cnn do is think about how there is no way that its right?

I am officially down 28lbs as of a week ago.and Sooo I just keep replaying it in my head, the moment I saw the number 287 on the scale..like it was a dream....

obsessive much? LOL

 

Is this something you have done?

Im almost afraid to weigh in again...what if it wasnt real?!?

Im petrafied of discouragement!!

ps...for those that dont know me..I havent had any surgery.:) Ive been doing this since Nov 13th on my own.

 

Ya....  I'm the queen of obsessing over the scale.  I'm here to tell ya though that it'll drive you crazy.  I've also jumped back on the scale the next day and saw a GAIN!  Now THIS just flips me out, but I know that as I lose fat, I put fluid on... then WOOSH, and all is well in numberland. Congrats on the 28 lbs.  That was the very first number that meant anything to me when I started.   Lori

i do that sorta. i've lost 35lbs now. but i can't see it in myself. no real size change clothes wise yet. so i really don't FEEL like i've lost much of anything yet. but i've had friends tell me that they can notice a huge difference.

The scale is going to go  up and down regularly.  If you track it (I do in Fitday, so I have a graph I can watch), you'll see it's never 100% on a downward slope.  If you watch it too much, those up moments can drive you nuts and make you fear regain. Do I feel like it doesn't exist?  Some days.  But I just focus myself on the efforts, and forget about the results as much as possible.  I enjoy the ride, we'll take a look at the destinations along the way.....

28 pounds is marvelous! Just wonderful congrats!!!! I am like that when I get to certain numbers. I remember the time I seen 249 on the scale I about cried. But when I see it again sooner or later I will be excited!!!!  Keep it up!!! And I love your little quote about kicking life's ass! :)

I agree with Christa, that signature is ON POINT!

Hmmm... Never doubted the scale before... Twenty-eight pounds is fantastic, though.  Congratulations!!

I think I tend to want to believe the scale.  You are doing FABULOUS!.   Brenda

I have done just about all thoughts possible with the scale. Hate, love, obsession, glee, tearjerking...but, far more negative than positve.  I still pick up the largest size i used to wear when I clothes-shop.  It amazes me that i buy mere larges, even have some mediums in my closet! You are doing fantastic....that is an inspirational (to us and to you!) amount to lose from mid-November.  wow.

First ofall, Thanks for the imput and the support. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!

 

I actually weighed myself today..(obsessed apperently) and it wasnt ever the same number in 3 tries...UGH!! but..it wasnt to bad..so Im gonna work harder this week! then I wont feel so nervous..Stupid holidays..hahaa ALTHOUGH, I didnt do to badly. Wheew!
