    my scale is Dead

    I am a scale slave and not to weigh is such a big thing I am going crazy. I know not a healthy relationship with the scale but, I love it. I don't just guage my progress on that evil little thing that has taken me for a ride a few times and I really just wanted to throw the scale out the window but, I must say I miss you how crazy am I. I will have to replace you with a new version and hopefully I will be able to go on.

    YA right I am so crazy being a little silly today but, truely I like my scale and I wish I could weight to see if I broke the 60 pound mark. Oh, well it will have to wait.

    Sarah I am the same way. I truley rely on my tape measure but just can't walk away from that scale. It doesn't get me down if I gain a pound or two 'cause I know its muscle and I haven't cheated. I even have a back up scale. And you thought you were crazy. I think I would have to take it out back and bury it if mine died. lol

      Count me in!

      I admit it, I'm a scale slave too :anger But I don't mind it so much--I'm only a slave when I'm losing lbs--when they stop and inch loss starts I don't even worry about checkin cause I know it will be a few days until the lbs start to move again.

        ME TOO..... the tape measure doesn't work well for me.. because unless I used a sharpie to mark EXACTLY where I measured the last time... it's useless...

            I am a scale addict I can admit.. I weigh daily, which I know people advise against.. But, I accept that my weight fluctuates, and so I don't stress over it. And I don't consider the weight a true loss until I have been below the weight for a week. For me, weighing daily allows me to see how my body reacts to certain foods I eat.. with some things, like processed meats, I notice that I always have a gain of 1-1.5 pounds the next day, but I don't sweat it.. just drink extra water..

            And Peytonn.. I have the same problem.. I can't ever get accurate measurements.. The last time I measured, I got larger measurements than before, and I know my clothes were baggier, and people keep commenting on my looking smaller. Guess I didn't measure in the exact same spot.

              I also weigh myself once a day.
              I find that I must keep track'
              I go to curves 5 days aweek and I love it.
              I must do other exersicing toget this weight going down. I have been at a stall.Im doing curves diet. But was thinking of doing atkins again at least for 1 month so I can move down again.

                    what do you mean doing Atkins again? Doing the induction part? Isn;t that creating a crutch for you to fall on? I am completely naive in respect to the curves diet, but it seems like if you have success with Atkins you should just all of the phases?

                      Curves is a business where people go and exercise together, fitness club to speak of.
                      Lots of ladies have great progress going to Curves. There isn't one in my town, wish there was.

                        Last time around, I weighed 5 times a day, just out of curiosity. Today is Day 21, haven't weighed myself yet. Mostly because my daughter cleaned the bathroom and I had no idea until two days ago where she put the scale.........lol.
