Stepping on the scale for me daily was a victory I know many people say it's not wise to weight daily. Right now. My life is crazy and I can't focus on making the scale move. I am super happy where I'm at! I do wanna get to 150! I am not in a rush!! If I put to much pressure on myself then I'll eat and eat and eat. So I'm coasting right now. Maintain and balance!! I was an over eater. Hid to eat. My whole focus was food. I refused to own a scale Because I hated the weight no matter what size I was!! Even at my lowest 130s I hated the scale made me feel fat!! Now that I have learned why the numbers rise and fall I am at peace with the number on the scale!! I wanna be my best!! I have running goals!! Yoga goals!! Calisthenics goals!! The number on the scale is my last goal! Do you!!! You got this!!!!!!0 -
Alright y'all!! I have been one stressed cookie!! 165.4 this morning!! I'm happy with the weight I'm at. I wanna be lean and mean and a strong mama machine!!! Soon I will have school uploaded(we homeschool our kids) and more free time on my hands!!! YEEEEEEES!! Then I'm gonna get in a gooooood routine!! I am trying not to stress over not being able to work out right now. Up late doing school up early with work....just gotta get through this season of tornadoes and I'll be back to throat punching workouts!!!1

Congrats to obviously winning the battle against your scale.
Just make sure to realise the really important victories are not measured by pounds.

I feel like most people don't read the entire thread that I've posted here. My battle isn't about seeing that scale number change. It was about healing the past wounds from my childhood y'all. Friends and family who still haunt me with their words. Then my husband. I would only step on a scale at Walmart once every couple months! I nearly had a panic attack Everytime!!! Yeah this weight is a part of my progress......but has anyone read my posts about learning to run and being able to help unload the generator from the truck!!! My goal y'all is to be the strongest me fastest me and to have more endurance than ever before!!! Yes I'd love to see 135.....my lowest when I got married. But I didn't get there the right way!!! We were starving!! Poor!! Broke!! So I'm doing this to live more do more be there more for my kids!!! Battling the scale was about learning and growing so my kids know they can conquer anything!!!! When I met my hubby I was 256lbs lost 100lbs In a year. Only stepping on a scale every once in a while!! Then I gained 125lbs with my daughter!!! Lost 145lbs in a year!! Stayed at a size 4 until our second daughter!! Gained.........263lbs when she was born!! See we went from being broke to oilfield money again and I ate constantly! Felt like I had too or I wouldn't get food again!! After that thyroid nodules became an issue and more money struggle!! Got down 205lbs and just stuck there for 6 years!!! I finally got mad and said no more damn it!! Last summer I started couch to 5k and lost 30lbs!! Winter hit and I chilled at 175 until January!! Then I started running and working out like crazy!! Now I run and yoga and do calisthenics!! Been stressed over some insurance malarkey so I haven't been on top of my game the last month or so!! But y'all need to know this battle with the scale is not about me losing a ton of weight. It's about learning why the scale moves and quieting the nagging voices in my head from the past!!! Y'all we can only have an external victory if we first have an internal one!!!! Change your mind change your destiny!!!5 -
169.....hahahah wow!! Stress!! Ate salty popcorn right before bed!!! Went up 3 lbs from yesterday!! It's salt!!! That is why I am doing this!! Used to freak me out! I'd step on the scale see no change and freak out and not weigh myself for another month!! Not realizing that it may have been what I ate or drank!!! I'll watch my salt the next couple days really guzzle some water and that will fall off!! I am only gonna record my weight in my dairy on Friday each week!! Daily is for here just to see whats the cause and effect from day to day!!! Today I will log my food and water!! Focus on zero stress eating and try to move around each hour since it's office day!!! Did hot yoga this morning and calisthenics!! Wanna bike after dinner tonight!!! Throat punch your goals today LACEY!! GET YA *kitten* IN GEAR!!!1

I went and ran (1 mile) did some calisthenics.....about to shower and get ready for work!! Today should be easy peasy!!!!! Come home finish uploading school and doing my office stuff! Reset goals done coasting time to grind!! Run 3 miles in 30 mins, finish medium 2 hard 1/2 in my 30 day fit app, hit 150 lbs!!!! Goals y'all!!! Here I go again!!! Gonna use stress as full!!

I say, lose the scale..... Why let a scale determine your mood for the day.... There is so many factors that can make you gain a little in a day, hormones, salt , etc..... I remember those days when the scale was the dictator of my moods, its no way to live.
Rather work on how you feel from the inside out and then the number on the scale will not matter that much cause you will feel great from the inside and that will spill over to the outside...
I know how it feels when "ugly voices" from the past sits in your head... but that's voices from the past, don't let them effect you now... Know that you are beautiful just the way you are and work from there.... Rather focus on strong than skinny and that will also transform the way you think....

170.....I just have been over eating. To the point I feel like *kitten*💩💩💩I don't know why either!! I have been home a lot more lately. Maybe that is why??? My belly hurts feels like rocks in my belly!!! I should have drank smooth move last night!! I dunno y'all something has gotta give!! I keep working out. So I got that going for me. Gotta get my eating under control and lose the 10 I gained back and the other 10 that will put me into maintenance!! 20lbs....that is it. That is all I ask!!! I wanna run 3 miles without stopping (30mins) I wanna ride my bike 5 miles in 30 mins I wanna be able to do a pull up!! I know my goals!!! I just keep making in the moment excuses. I'm happy where I am at. That is part of the problem. I can eat whatever I want and keep myself between 165-170.....now a lil discipline and I will be at 150-155 and I can have more fun with fooooood. Come on brain get back in the game and let's win this!!! Sheesh!!! I wanna hit my goals!!! I don't wanna be a jiggle worm!! I wanna be a lean mean mom machine!!!!1

I can sympathize. I too need to weigh religiously. And I panic if it varies by 3 or 4 pounds. That means I need to log more carefully again because before I know it, that 3 or 4 will be 20.
I’ve fallen off the wagon so often. Managed to maintain for two years as I struggled to find my ideal size. Slowly it crept up again, with no baby weight as a reason. It was just too much good food, plain and simple .... so I’m back at it. 60 days and I’ve lost 24 of the 38 I think I need to lose before reassessing my measurements and wardrobe....
Bravo to you, for the lower numbers!2 -
