  • I've been using a Tanita digital scale for years and just love it. I got mine at Bed Bath & Beyond, and there's always a 20% coupon for that store. Here's one like it on amazon:…
  • Thanks for the comment, Phoebe. You mention weather--are you suffering through those rainstorms and tornadoes we hear about. Weather's always nice here in San Diego County, I've been enjoying Extreme Weight Loss, and glad it's on after Chris was in an accident a few months ago. The first episode was interesting, as he…
  • Excellent! Good for you, Marcella :smiley:
  • Tuesday has been my personal weigh-in day for the past 6 years, & I'm thrilled to say I got to 150.6 today, which is a little lower than Sunday's weight from this challenge and more than 2 lbs less than last Tuesday! It's been a time of up-and-down eating but apparently jerked my body into paying attention. Now, if only…
  • Well, I'm only .2 below the starting weight on the challenge spreadsheet, but since I went up and down these past few months, I'm thrilled to be back at 151, my lowest ever. Well, was here a few weeks ago, for an hour or two, ha ha.
  • Yay! I made it back down to 151 today. Maybe I'll be able to hang on to it more than a few hours, lol. I'm barely below starting weight for this challenge, but the charts have kept me more aware and helped me keep trying when I gained 3 lbs at one point. June is the month of birthdays, July has trips, August has our 52nd…
  • Hey, coopscoopc...I understand totally your above note. I actually hit 151 for a few minutes! Then it seems to cause more eating out and/or cooking and/or snacking. And you're right, it doesn't feel good. But it tastes good. :o oh well, these pounds will come off soon, I guess.
  • I've had a week of meals out, meals actually cooked (as opposed to frozen low-cal dinners), and snacks not usually in the house. Of course, the scales show the results. I always log the food, good or bad, to the best of my ability as far as accuracy, but I'm wanting to eat late at night and don't complete the day until…
  • I actually cooked dinner 2x last week and we went out for dinner and breakfast several times...so, of course, I weigh more than last week. Just one of those weeks, between doc appts and birthday get-togethernes and stuff. Too bad the pounds come on so easily ... But I did get to the gym, sometimes for more than an hour,…
  • I can't seem to get with it, can't try harder to eat healthier and smaller amounts. But at least I'm not gaining several pounds, and actually lost 2/10 this week. It's just that I know I could do better…but exercising less has lessened the pain in my hip, so that's good. That and Aleve or occasionally Vicodin, ha ha.
  • Wow, I wrote several sentences more above, but apparently adding emoticons causes the rest to be deleted. Oh well, not worth repeating right now,
  • Looks like you gals are getting in amazing workouts. Good for you
  • I just put my weight in today's column, but having weighed 5 hours ago I'm not sure if I'm putting in the right weight, lol. I can't remember if it's 151.6 or 152.6, so I'll take the 1, of course! Pretty sure it's accurate, but still...
  • I was .2 away from my 150 goal for today, but after yesterday's lunch--and in spite of 35 min on elliptical and 65 min on bike--I'm up 1.4 over last week's weight
  • Great chart. I'm new to this group & hope another challenge starts for summertime.
  • Tanita digital scale ... very nice, weighs in tenths of a pound, http://www.amazon.com/Tanita-BF679W-Scale-Monitor-Water/dp/B0009V1YPK If you meant a food scale, then Oxo Good Grips digital is great, http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/OXO-Good-Grips-reg-11-LB-Food-Scale/120843?Keyword=Oxo+kitchen+scale
  • Only 5? My DVR is set for, I think, at least 65 shows...including but not limited to 1. Downton Abbey 2. Hostages 3. Castle 4. Major Crimes 5. The Good Wife
  • Intentional exercise every day, 7 days a week even if just a walk around the block sometimes. Best 30-60 min, whether walking, jogging, playing with kids or dogs, haha. I rode the bike 2 hrs 7 min this morning...good thing, as a friend dropped off a gorgeous red velvet Bundt cake for us. I agree with below post, eat what…
