what does WOE mean and all the other phrases people put into short 4 letter things. 3rd day on Atkins feeling really different from day 1. I haven't cheated at all and only been drinking water, and thats because I have no idea what else is "safe" to drink..Jimmie48 tell's me Cream soda and lemon juice!! thank god lol. Anywho I couldn't find a scale that can weigh more then 330 pounds. I Need one that can weigh up to 400 or something. Feel free to message me anytime or email I Will respond to everyone and hopefully i'lll make more friends in the process!! :P

WOE is "way of eating" there are lot's of acronyms here, you'll learn them quick. A lot of old timers helped me out when i started a few months ago. You'll be fine, just drink lots of water, that's all I drink except for an occasional diet coke when i feel real sleepy in the middle of the day, but i wouldn't do that during induction. Hang in there, there are many people who will take you under their wing, just wait and see

Make sure that's DIET cream soda made with Splenda and it goes to wards your splenda allowance! I'd rather you drink strictly water though.

I forgot to say -

Welcome to our international ADBB family, Pete and well done on not cheating and on drinking your water

Does your doctor have scales that would do the job? Several members in your situation go in once a week and get weighed there till the time when they can use a smaller-weight one.

I imagine the heavyweight ones are fairly pricey and hopefully before too long you will be able to use a cheaper one

Re: what does WOE mean and....pls read post ty!

yea the doctor has a scale..but going in once a week is totally inconvenient. Therefore I want to know if there are "places" that sell ones which go higher then 330lbs (150kg)

Hey there Pete, Welcome.

Do you belong to a gym? Sometimes they have scales like the DR. ones. just an idea. I know my YMCA has one in the locker room.

I drink only WATER...it has been 5 weeks and ONLY WATER!! That is something that impresses me, because I used to drink nothing close to water!

Anyway, welcome and that link with the acronyms helps me still and I have been here 5 weeks.

pete, just go to the Tanita website and they will tell you where you can purchase one. I bought the Tanita HD 351 and it has been super reliable. It is made for us big guys. I think the HD stands for heavy duty and that is what I needed when I started, you on the other hand aren't that far from the 200's. I think it took about three days for them to ship me mine.

Here is what I could find on the net as far as what's available in Canada:

HBC online (you could also check at The Bay's store or Home Outfitters they may have them instock rather than having to order) has one that weighs up to 380 http://shop.hbc.com/webapp/wcs/stor...dCachePage=true

This weight watchers one from Home depot site does too: http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/...tk=P_PartNumber
and it's 50$ cheaper than the same one at Sears...

Here's one from Sears Canada that weighs up to 350: http://www.sears.ca/gp/product/B000...nodeid=15860871

Hey, Pete! Welcome
You can weight yourself at the hospital, if they have a scale for public use.
I think it's great that you're drinking all of your water. It's important for your kidneys. I would say stick to only water and in two weeks time, it may take a little longer, you'll see that if you re-introduce soda to your diet it'll taste wierd. And the feeling in your mouth is just strange. I drank soda after I had been on Atkins for about a month....it was so strange!
Anyway, best of luck to you

Pete,

I hate water, so I drink non-carbonated no sugar lightely flawored bottled water such as Aquafina etc. It is basically water, almost non sweet (it has few drops of Splenda in it) and very mildly flawored.

Also I drink TONS of herbal tea, I buy ALL KINDS available and even mix 2-3 packets together in a huge bowl. I usually let them packets sit there in hot water for an hour... then I drink it. Or even put some in the refrigerator if its hot outside ( and IT IS HOT in S.Carolina!!
