    For those that are Scale-Addicts...

    It's the TOM. My handy-dandy bathroom scale tells me that I have gained nearly 5 lbs. Ugh.

    Walk to the closet and pull out a pair of jeans. Put 'em on and go downstairs.

    Hubbie asked where I had gotten the new jeans. I looked down, and it was a pair that I had forever... but haven't been able to button in a year or more.

    I had grabbed the wrong pair. Because they went on a buttoned so easily, I didn't think twice about it.

    The scale can tell me whatever it likes - so long as I'm making progress towards the skinny jeans!!

    Congratulations! That rocks!
    I have a couple of pairs of jeans that I can get on, but just barely. I look forward to trying them on in a couple of weeks.

      I had a similar experience this week. Who needs that old monster the scale!
      JILL

      HW 298
      HW (this time) 248
      GOAL ONE 228       (take 2)
      GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
      GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
      FINAL GOAL 165

       It's not about the results. Its about the process.

          Congrats!! I've got two old pair that I haven't worn in years with a stretchy waistband that I can now wear and two more without a stretchy waistband that are close but not quite there, but they will be waiting for me in a couple of weeks. Keep up the good work!

              Yeah the body does weird things.. one day your belly looks lose or ballooned, the next day your waist is smaller. And the scale, even more confusing. Then again i'm no scientist so i have no idea about the finer details that go on in your body, but as long as fat is being burned then it's all good.

                I've always said, I don't care if I weigh 5000lbs so long as my jeans fit!

                Pants don't come with a weight requirement on the tag, they have a waist size on the tag. Does it matter what the scale says when I'm shopping? . Nope. It doesn't!

                  Ain't it just great??? WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Have had similar experiences this week regarding a couple skirts. It's nice to wear skirts without an apron of a belly sticking out so far.

                    I am still so hooked on the scale and get upset when I dont lose according to the scale.
