Weigh

There are three very important things to keep in mind for optimal scale usage.1) Pick a time of day to weigh yourself. Then only weigh yourself at that exact time of day going forward forever and ever.Your body weight fluctuates throughout the day, so to get a good gauge of how much weight you've really truly lost you need that time of day consistency.After years of weighing myself several times a

Hi everyone!  Well, I weighed in on Thursday instead because I knew I had a mom’s night in and didn’t dare weigh in the morning after that!  Too much beer, chips and stuff I really shouldn’t eat but as of Thursday morning I weighed in at 2.1 pounds less than I did last week.... I’m finally back to losing again We’ll see how long that lasts, but I think it’ll be good for n

Okay, so let’s see… 2 weeks ago I was down 12.6 pounds or something similar to that (I’m too lazy to look, lol), then last week I gained 9.3 pounds (again give or take since I’m too lazy to look), and this week I lost 2.2 pounds so that would make me… Wait, doing the math here - 5.4 pounds from 3 weeks ago, and exactly 10.4 pounds down from my record high last year.  Not exactl

Despite the fluid IV from the hospital and my crazy health the past few days......I managed to maintain! I'm still: 174! So I feel great that I'm not going up on the scale, but rather holding steady. I've successfully kept off these 11 pounds and it feels great. I do want to lose more but taking it one day at a time with my health right now.

I have always been a big supporter of the “Once a Week” rule for weighing yourself. But over the last couple of months I have somewhat changed my opinion on that. I used to think that weighing yourself anymore than that was borderline obsessive. Now I weight myself everyday. Weekdays, weekends or holidays it doesn’t [...]

Despite a horrible night of NO sleep.......I went walking early early this morning outside while the sun was coming up for about 25 minutes!  It was a good paced walk also and I felt I burned a good amount of calories!  That makes 4 days of walking in a row!!  I plan on walking tomorrow too...... I also weighed in today and I lost: 1 pound! Down to 174, total of 11 pounds gone.  WOOHOO!  ;

I had a great week, lots of walking with the kiddies, a couple workout videos, lots of water, and lots of fun in general. Baseball season is over, and Blue won the award for best hitter!! Not bad for his first year!! I am happy to report even-steven due to TOM, so much better then a gain. We had a couple of dinners out, I ate ok but at times could have made better choices. Oh well!! I got lots of

Oh man, I almost slept through weigh-in day again!  I swear I need to get on a better schedule because this waking up at noon is killing me!  Anyhow, hope you all lost lots and lots of weight.  I have no idea what I lost - In fact I just jumped on the scale real quick and weighed myself (you know, all swollen from sleep and everything) but it still looks like I gained which is a tot

What is this? Is it a scale? But where are the numbers? It is the latest weight loss gadget and is called Mary Lou's Weigh Platform.Here's the idea - stepping on the scale can just be painful. You can bloat one day, lose weight the next... Hell, my weight can vary up to 2 pounds in one day depending on the time of day and what I've eaten. And then you can become obsessive about the number on

I guess I was retaining water because the past few days all that weight gain went away and today I weighed in at 175 pounds! That is a loss of 4 pounds from my last weigh in before vacation, about 2 weeks ago. That gives me a total loss so far of 10 pounds. I'm almost back down to where I was, at 173....then from there I will continue to lose and hopefully by the end of summer I can be around

Quite frankly, lately I have been up and down about weighing in but this week I kicked some ass!  I lost 3.4 pounds I could have even lost more by now because I weighed in early, because you know, I just felt… lighter, lol.  I wish I could say that it was all that exercise but nope - it was better food choices.  I really made a very conscious effort to watch everything I ate.&nb

I was chatting with my friend Casey last night about our pregnancies. We both had pretty crappy experiences with being in the family way. We weren't having a pity party so much as telling war stories.

I don't know how I forgo

It’s Friday and quite frankly I am very excited!  I woke up feeling “thinner” LOL.  Do you ever have those days that you just wake up knowing that you have lost weight?  Somehow you feel less bloated and you just KNOW your clothes are going to fit well?  I just love those days.  In fact, I was so excited that I waited until I started writing this post to go and weight myself, so if you will hold on just one second I will go do that right this second… Okay, well not as much as I had hoped - but not bad!  1.2 pounds down.  Better than nothing And also better than the gain I thought I would have earlier in the week when I was eating myself out of house and home.  This week I was having a hard time again.  I think it is because we didn

I didn't lose any scale weight this week, still at 173, although I did lose measurements! I lost inches and here is where I lost it: Waist 34.5 (-.25) Hips 44.5 (-.5) Total lost is .75 inches but I'm taking it! I hurt both my feet yesterday, so now my knee and feet are in pain lol. It is hilarious really when you think about it. But I'm still going to workout, but may just do upper body

I’m not going into a long huge story about how I didn’t lose weight this week.  I have failed you all :( Quite frankly I feel like a loser.  Somehow I managed to gain 2.2 pounds.  I completely was off my game this week.  No exercise except for 2 days, no motivation to skip those onion rings at Red Robin even though I got a petite burger and a side salad with fat free dressing.  I had no ability to make sure I ate my healthy snacks so that I wasn’t completely starving by dinnertime.  This whole week was a complete waste of time for my diet.  But that’s okay… as we will always tell you all the time - tomorrow is a new day!  What about you all?  How did you do this week? But I am excited about something.  Yesterday my Puritan

Ok, TWO POUNDS DOWN!! WOOHOOO!!! I am out of the pound a week slump!!. I think I need to really up the exercise, that would probably help even more. We had a nice spell of weather, then it got cold & rainy so I got cold & lazy!! I told my hubz I wanted a pedometer for Mothers Day and was looking at this one. Over 1100 people gave it 5 stars (I live by the amazon rating system, it effects many of my purchases, is that insane? Be honest, you won't offend!!). He said he already got me something.... looks like I'll be bribing the kids tomorrow with candy. Blue will give it all up for a Reece Peanut Butter Cup.Ok, Laugh of the day, and I want everyone to be honest... What is the weight on your drivers licence? Are you ready for this????

According to Shigeru Miyamoto’s translator Bill Trinen (who also happens to work for Nintendo of America), the US and European versions of Wii Fit will allow players to weigh their pets. Trinen recently spoke to Newsweek at a demonstration of Wii Fit in New York City. When posed a question on whether additional features had been added to the North American version, Trinen explained that Miyamoto had wanted to include a mode where players could weigh their pets. Apparently this feature was not included in the Japanese version but is available in both the American and European versions of the game. A quick glance at page 23 of the Wii Fit instruction booklet confirms that you can weigh yourself while holding your baby or pet. “You’ll be able to see the difference in weight and find ou

I try to make it a habit to weigh in on Wednesday nights. Its easy to remember if I do it every week. I am still stuck in my plateau. *sigh*Anyway, keeping positive, I am still down 42 pounds from when I started at last thanksgiving. Its definite progress, but I have a long way to go.42 Pounds down, 58 to go (at least for phase 1 of my self-re-engineering).

I feel that I'm never going to leave the 300-teens poundage. Up and down, the scale goes. Frustrated, Sad and Tried. Never ending story for these couple of weeks. UGH.But I (you) (we) got to keep moving, inspiring and having a positive attitude to keep being healthy and living happy. I know that I must move more, push myself to do more rather than sitting on the couch and watching my late night TV. I should be doing more walking. NO more eating out, cook my meals inside. Press forward and never say gain. Think about my Goal (loose 30 lbs. before June). I still have time to meet my goad and I'm going to motivate myself to do it.

Rail passengers, some of whom already have a less than size zero chance of getting a seat, are to be weighed in an effort to deal with overcrowding, it was revealed to the Global News Terrorists Team by a reliable source. The South-easterly train company which runs over some of the busiest commuter routes has developed the plan after many complaints from it’s customers over the last year and a half.South-easterly has installed a new device to four of its busiest routes. The device can work out just how many passengers are aboard its Electrostar trains by recording the overall weight of the train. Once the warning sign lights up with the words “who ate all the pies?” staff can then notify the passengers on their trains, who needs to get off and more importantly who needs to lose weigh

As for me, I lost 2.8 pounds this week! Normally I would wooohooo, but I still haven’t loss the entire 7 that I gained 2 weeks ago!  So, basically I’m losing to break even which always sucks honestly.  It’s interesting to see how one week of going out and having fun can totally screw with my weight loss for probably close to a month, but it does… and it isn’t good!  I wasn’t going to mention this, but I think I’m going to… I got a letter yesterday from a member that joined a long time ago who shall remain nameless, who basically called it and I quote “laughable

Sunday is Easter and for most of us that means one thing - CANDY!  As we all know, candy is bad bad bad bad especially for those of us (namely me!) who are totally addicted to anything that even sounds like jelly bean.  I’m not a chocolate girl at all, but OMG, give me a bag of jelly beans and I will demolish them in minutes.  If you are looking at the basket you may think that all those chocolate Easter bunnies, jelly beans, and marshmallow chicks look cute and harmless, but watch out. The calories in these Easter “goodies” add up quick. For example: 1 chocolate covered marshmallow egg: 100 calories 25 small jellybeans: 140 calories 1 small chocolate bunny (1 ounce): 140 calories 5 Peeps: 160 calories 8 malted milk eggs: 170 calories 1 Cadbury creme eg

By DANNY HAKIM and WILLIAM K. RASHBAUMMarch 11, NY TimesALBANY — Gov. Eliot Spitzer was a client of a high-end prostitution ring broken up last week by federal authorities, according to law enforcement officials, a development that threatened to end his career and turned the state’s political world upside down.Mr. Spitzer’s involvement with the prostitution operation came to light in court papers filed last week, the officials said, as federal prosecutors charged four people with operating the service, Emperor’s Club V.I.P. Mr. Spitzer was caught on a federal wiretap discussing payments and arranging to meet a prostitute in a Washington hotel room last month. The affidavit, which did not identify Mr. Spitzer by name, indicated that he had used the prostitution service before, altho

Happy Friday Everyone!  Well, if I may, I would just like to toot my own horn here for a second.  Normally I don’t run around telling everyone what I did this week - but allow me this one time I put myself on my own personal challenge of not eating out.  Instead I ate exactly by my points on Weight Watchers, logging every point.  I stayed within my range, and I walked 4 times on my handy dandy treadmill.  And as expected - I lost weight!  3.8 pounds to be exact See what happens when I’m serious about my weight loss?  (Very excited person here!!) It really gives me the motivation to continue on my serious recommitment!  Although I am taking myself out to eat tonight - but I will be making healthy choices!! Ok, enough about me.  How did

So They are sick and tired of the countless weight loss "secrets" is packed your throat by mega-marketing companies crawling all over every magazine, TV advertising, and Internet web site, you see? Join the Club! I honestly do not think that it would be possible to count with all my little fingers and toes how many different ways and gimmicks, I have tried to lose weight over the years. These mega-marketing companies are probably all thank me the way to the bank now! I admit, is not, however, that regardless of how many directions, and I will discuss each and every one of these attempts, they all boil down to nothing more than laziness on my end. Yes, I said laziness. Take a true, powerful and probably painful look inside yourself and you will probably come to the same conclusion that I ha

So, I woke up this morning dreading the fact that it was Friday.  I knew what I had to do, but still, bringing myself to get on that scale was torturous… I knew I had gained.  I knew that I ate myself out of house and home this past week.  I knew I was stressed and I knew that I had let it get the best of me.  I was fairly surprised to find that I only gained 1.8 pounds this week, because let me tell you, I was eating everything in sight! McDonald’s - Check Pizza Hut - Check Olive Garden - Check My entire rationale behind this was that I was out of food and just “never” found the time to go grocery shopping. So, I would say, well I’ll just stop by and get something to eat and THEN go grocery shopping.  But somehow it was always too late, or we h

Self-blame and self-criticism can seriously undermine weight loss efforts. Here are some of the reasons why they are building a case that you want to avoid: 1 Even debt breeds shame. Shame is the feeling that it is to isolate. If we believe, shame, we feel bad, and we want to be invisible. We do not want anyone to see either himself or our shame, and we begin to feel unable to connect with others. We want to disappear.

I beginning to hate Wednesday weigh-ins. Due to the stress from work and the lack of sleep, I didn't do so good on my diet and weight. I gained 4 lbs. BUT I did go to my doctor's appt. this morning and in 2 months, I have dropped my cholesterol from 217 to 178. My diabetes drop from 7.5 to 7.0 which is good but not good enough (6.5 is the regular). My high blood pressure seems low but better than high (98 over 70).I think I will go away on a little weekend vacation to re-group and get some sleep from all the stress and lack of rest from the past 3 weeks.

I worked out every day this week since Tuesday like I promised (with the exception of Sunday as my rest day) and I ate decent enough too! However, TOM is here and I'm bloated but somehow still managed to lose: 1 pound!!!!!! YAY! I'm down to 179 and feels good to be back in the 170's! So that is a total of 6 pounds gone now and I plan to continue with my exercise habit this week as well.

Today I am at 160.2 and that is 2.2 pounds less than my last weigh in. Now that was two weeks ago, I didn't weigh in last week because I was at 165 again. I was really down about it. Getting myself on this NLNE (no late night eating) has really helped. Today has been four days with NLNE! It has helped me keep my calories where I want them and I think it helps me process my foods better in general, but it is hard.So, how did you do this week?Visit Tales From The Scales to see more weigh in reports.My Weight Chart:
