Finding my groove

I have struggled with extra pounds since being a teenager but now in middle-age and using myfitnesspal I feel empowered and in control. The daily logging of food and exercise has been a tremendous value. I am now on day 50 and have lost 6 pounds. (The older one gets the more difficult it is to lose weight. ) I also am committed to never again avoiding the scale - never, ever!

    That's terrific! Congratulations. Interesting comment about avoiding the scale. I immediately start avoiding it when I'm not consciously eating well and I secretly hope that when I eventually hop on again, it was show a significant drop. Haha. That's never happened. So, yes! Hop on that scale and stay accountable to yourself!

    That’s what I would do...be bad, ignore the scale. Now, If I de-rail one day then I give myself the next day to get on track then I immediately hop on the scale the next morning. It is never as bad a my head tells me it’s going to be and sometimes I even lose!
