    Keep focused and think positive. A good indicator of progress is how your clothes fit. The more you workout, the more muscle you are building and sculpting your entire body to look and feel great!!!!!

    I think I bought that same scale! White, and it beeps when you turn it on and stand on it? I really like it because it is accurate. Sometimes the truth hurts, but it is better to know than not know. Just remember, you are beautiful! It took guts to put your picture on; I haven't had the nerve to do that yet. But you are a gorgeous human being, and if you really want to lose it, you can! Hang in there; it's okay! And don't forget to celebrate yourself, body and mind!

    I have a very bad back. That is why I was in the wheel chair. My joints just would not carry all that weight around. It just hurt way too badly.

    Hang in there hun you will lose the weight. You can do it ! :flowerforyou:

    I know how you feel. I even closed my eyes when I had to get onto the scale at the doctors the other day. However, I finally broke down and bought a scale. I figured if I am going to do this and I AM. Think about it this way the weight we are today is just the starting point; someday we will be able to say "Look at how much I have lost !!)

    Let's just keep trying and we will get there!

    There are days I would LOVE to shoot my scales. There are even days when I want to cry and cuss instead. It happens. We just keep on keeping on and we will get there.

    I totally understand. When I began I had no idea how heavy I was. It was quite an eye opener for me. You can do this. Don't let it get you down.

    Hey, at least you were in the ball park. You could have thought 260 and actually been 280. Just keep improving food and exercise and you will start to loose and feel great! Don't get to obsessed with the scale, it can take over your life. Take your measurements too because you might find the weight comes off slow but your measurements improve because you are exercising. I do my measurements once a month, on the first monday.

    You will do this!
