Well, fell off the wagon bad. But got back on again today. This weekend has been a rough one. Not feeling well and numerous deaths on both my and my husband's side of the family this weekend took its toll and true to my old self I fell into emotional eating. But that is now in the past and I'm looking forward to having a great rest of the week. Hopefully I didn't gain too much during the weekend so on Friday I'll be looking to be at the same weight, 159.0

Chicken Alfredo with veggies and bread sticks tonight for dinner. I did get on the scale today to see what the damage from the weekend was and it showed I was down half a pound. So maybe I wasn't as bad as I thought. Friday is weight in so we will see.
Have a great night everyone.0 -
So sorry for your family's loss, Linds, and so happy for your weight loss0

Thanks everyone! Tomorrow is my husband's birthday so maybe I'll reward myself with a slice of cake to go along with the nacho layer dip he requested for dinner.
When to Mongolian BBQ tonight and I was very disappointed. Service was bad, food ordered from kitchen was cold and overall it was a poor experience. I'm getting to dislike eating out (which use to be fun for me) so hopefully that is the beginning of my lifestyle change. Have a great Sunday and a weight loss filled week!0 -
Progress for the month...
Started at 171.2, ending at 158.5.
Down 13lbs since 1st of the year. Only 23lbs to go to goal weight.
Goal for February is to lose 6lbs (152.5) by continuance of omad. I will also add in some light exercise 1-2 times a week .0 -
Nice! You are doing super-fab!0

That's great progress Linds....well done!

Way to go!0

Thank you everyone. Tonight had homemade personal pizza and finished off my husband's birthday cake. The weather has been pretty good lately(40-45 degrees in the middle of winter) so we all took a small walk after dinner. Not too far as it was very muddy and the daughter was stomping in the mud puddles, but it was still nice to get out of the house in the dead of winter.0

Mmmm I have had pizza these last several days, dipped in extra virgin olive oil!0

Does anyone else have a problem with their scale not reading the same depending on where it is placed?
I did a mid week weight and my scale showed a huge number which I knew wasn't right cause I've been sticking to my calories and fasting, so out of curiosity I moved it to another place and it showed a 4lbs difference. It's a digital scale that we keep in the closet when its not in use. It's not too old bought it less than a year ago.
Any ideas?0 -
As the batteries start to die, there can be swings. It happened with mine. There are lots of variables concerning placement and number of sensors, type of sensor, substrate hardness, foot position, all kinds of craziness. When you are as big as I am, it's worse. All electronic operations have a margin of error expressed as a percentage. Stack a few of those margins the wrong way and multiply that by 300+ pounds and you can see such a swing. That may not be as much of a factor at your weight.
Change the batteries, stand in the same position, and swing by your doctor's office for a free weigh-in to confirm the reading.0 -
I have a digital scale, I just try to weigh myself in the same place each time I take it out. If I'm not sure if the reading is right, I start moving it around the room, if it shows the same result each time, then I know its accurate (it normally shows the same reading in different places in the room)
Funny story about digital scales.
Last year started a diet and lost 4kg in the first week.
I jumped on the scales to see the 4kg loss. Really? .... nah. moved the scales to another position several times... it still kept telling me the same thing.
finally took it into the kitchen instead, still 4kg loss........Really? - what the hell, has to be right, (after about 10 different positions lol)0 -
I moved it to 4 different spots and went with the number igot 3out of 4 times (which was the number I wanted anyway)
What sparked my interest was my husband talking about weighing himself and getting varying results depending on how close the scale was to the dryer. Our master bath creates a u shape and opens to the utility room on one side.
I grab some new batteries for it.0 -

My scale reads different depending where I place myself. All weight on the left foot is about 9 lbs different than all weight on the right foot. Both feet on the scale and it is somewhere in-between. I have an analog scale. I now stand all weight, or close to it, on the right foot so I'm not cheating and I have verified that when I do that it gives a correct, or close to correct, reading.0 -
Pork chop rice and salad today. I've been increasing my water intake the last couple days and I'm feeling pretty good.
I've been looking at some of the success stories on mfp and they have really given me some motivation. Sometimes its hard to see the progress you have made and sometimes it seems as if it isn't coming fast enough, but knowing that others have been through the process helps.0 -
Low batteries and movement can totally give wacky scale readings. I know that all too well. At a year's mark, it's best to just go ahead and replace them and be done with it.0

There was something on UK TV the other day about this. They tried it on a hard surface and thick carpet. The difference was something like 10 lbs!!.
The recommended always measuring with the same scales on the same hard surface.0 -
Sloppy joes, Mac and cheese with homemade banana cream pie tonight for dinner. Yummy, yum!
Feeling light on my feet and ready to kick butt!0 -
I just had two chicken breasts, green beans, and a can of chili tonight. Not good, but I'm super-busy at work, so it actually works out for me.0
-
Here's hoping everyone has great progress on the scale tomorrow. My nsv this week is I am feeling lighter on my feet and I'm seeing some progress in the mirror. I also wore a shirt today that was pretty tight previously; so yay me!0
