It's probably a small thing...

But I'm a bit excited.  I hit 319.2 today.  I started at 352 lbs on 1-11.  I haven't been at this weight since before the birth of my daughter...so about 6 years ago.   Also, I've decided to pack up my scale for the month of March.  Its going to be really hard because I compulsively weigh myself at least 6 or 7 times a day-lol!  But for the last week, my weight was a roller coaster ride & I did nothing different.  So, I'm putting it away on a positive note (319-lol).  I'll still follow my "diet" plan & keep track of my calories; and I'll also continue exercising.  But since I'm not planning on doing anything differently, then there is no sense in weighing myself daily & go through the roller coaster ride.   So, I guess I've lost 33 lbs:-)  My goal for March is another 12 or so lbs...trying to get down to 305 lbs.

WTG Lisa!!! I understand the scale. I have gotten obsessive about that myself lately but I don't have one at home so I am constantly going to the hospital or drug store to weigh. Well, last night I started TOPS and I'm only supposed to weigh once a week at weigh in. Not sure how that's gonna go but I'm going to try hard. We can do it. Beth

Woohoo, that's awesome!  You have more willpower than me girl, a whole month without a scale!!  Lol, have fun.  Nah just kidding, you'll do great, look how great you've done this far!!

 

It is hard, so hard to know what to do when it comes to the scale. I've settled on a bit of both...the numbers ARE important. BUTT, the point is to not kick myself every step of the way.  THIS is my life, and yes, this is me. For so many of us, if we had only accepted ourselves as we were..a little bigger than others...but still us, nothing more, nothing less. The day I started dieting was the day I lost the battle. I liked what my bariatric do said...weigh only when at maintenance...THEN get all over it when it shows one pound up.   I really get where you come from.
