I've ignored the scale

and hopped on... after a few weeks (and 3 days of eating horribly at the state fair)

I'm down almost 7 pounds!

I will now avoid the scale for another month!

Good job, Karen!!! That's awesome! I think you're doing a wise thing, because weight can fluctuate day to day, and you can get unnecessarily discouraged from a normal water weight up and down. Way to go!

You ate at a state fair and your heart's still pumping???  You must be tough.

Good for you for not being a scale ho!  I'll never understand people who get on a scale more than once a day.  Once a week is better once you get your program down pat and know that you'll lose weight with it.  I'm a once every few days girl masself.  But that's pretty damn good for a reformed scale ho, no?  Yay, seven pounds gone!

Yesss! That is the way to do it. Good job.

Great job, Karen!!
