    Morning everyone, well I weighed myself this morning and am happy with my weigh in, although could all be due to the tummy bug!! Got a morning off from children, so I am going out for a coffee with a dear friend that is having a very bad time - if any of you could spare a thought for her then please do.

    No scales for a week?? Well that might upset the litle ones (they weigh themselves after me, it has become a game!) but they will have to detox like mummy :laugh:

    Bry - I can't remember my last first date, but will say just to relax and chill, and congrats on going to the gym instead of the bar

    Marla - your house sounds completely hectic but full of love, its really great to read about

    Amanda - hello

    Jan - I love your picture, I wish I could get a nice picture of my boys together but all they feel like doing is thumping each other :huh

    Donna - morning!! Where is your daughter coming to in the UK? It sounds like fun, when I did trips with the school the furthist we went was to Wales :grumble:

    Lori - hope that you have warmed up, and drunk some fluids. Did you say how your boys did in the football?

    Everyone else, hope you have a good day and good cooking. Check in later

    Good weigh in morning team!:laugh: Wow, thats what Wednesdays have become to mean for me the past year lol. I havent gotten on the scale yet, but will soon.

    Thank you for this weeks challenge Andrew. This one is eezy-breezy for me:wink: (sorry my scale addict teamies). I only get on the scale once a week anyway and thats Wednesday mornings. I admit that I fear the scale:ohwell: , but I never never never get on it before then. Im not sure why really? I think it actually does have something to do with what Andrew was saying about letting it control our moods, how our day goes, etc. Whatever the reason, I just dont do it.

    Well, I have alot of grocery shopping to do today:grumble: . I hate shopping for groceries. I dont mind other shopping so much, but hate doing the groceries. It just isnt any fun to me lol.

    Oh, I wanted to mention that my BFF and I have started talking again. Nothing major, just talking about what happened. I think we might just get through this? Its scary to type even...to say we might get through it. I have always trusted her 100% without question and she shook that trust to the core...it somewhat even sounds a bit childish to me to say, but Im afraid to trust her again. We'll see what happens. Thanks you guys for all your support.

    Well, a big hello to everyone!!:smile: I wish everyone a very happy day:flowerforyou:

    That is NOT childish, Roni. When you lose your trust in someone, they have to EARN it back plain & simple. Trust isn't a right just b/c you've known someone for so long...it's a privlage & she has to work on that with you. Good luck, my dear! I hope you're on the way to mending your friendship! *hugs*

    *snap...............no prob bob!

    I gave my scale to a friend this summer for 1 month. She refused to return it to me, which is why I chose her.

    Ok, my confession..............I made a DOCTORS appt so I could get on the scale!!! :laugh: But I was honest and sent her a picture of it to her email :wink:

    So I can tell you first hand, I did not suffer an serious consequences by giving up my scale. One month without and now I could care less about what it says.

    My size 6 jeans fit? All is well with the world.

    That being said, after being sick this week I have been on it for like 1000 times in 3 days..........so Thanks for the challenge Andrew!!

    :flowerforyou: Jeannie

    Good morning everybody...My hubby laughed when I told him the challenge. He says we will have to throw it out to keep me off of it. I really am obsessed with it and this will be good for me. It draws me to it several times a day. I get excited because I am down a pound and then the next hour there is that darn pound again and then I'm depressed and ready to give up and eat everything in site. I can do this and I will be better for it. Thanks, Andrew. You have saved me from myself. Have a happy Wednesday!

    Putting it in the trunk might be the only option for me!! I didn't realize I was so addicted to the thing until I read the challange and actually freaked out a little. That scale has become a part of my morning routine right along with brushing my teeth. Oh well, away to the trunk it goes!!
