So what's wrong with naming your tool?

Wow, that went over way toooo serious. It was meant to be more light hearted. I belong to a group where we weigh-in once a week. I was looking for an alternate name rather than say "Facing the Scale". I guess I could always saw "Facing George" or "Facing the Metal Monster".

I AM pretty happy with what I've done so far this month. So a missed goal doesn't mean failure, it just means you needed a little more time. I just read about "Outcome" vs "Process" goals which are totally different. Gotta start small and work your way up.

So it sounds like the number should be specific but not the time period. For August, I challenged myself to lose 6 1/2# which was based on a 4# gain I had from vacation the previous month and with the other 2 1/2# off meant I was at my lowest weight this year. I'm 1/2# away from that goal with one weigh in left and I guess…

Maybe I'm relying too much on support rather than doing it myself.

How would you respond to someone who said I think many of you are missing the point...getting weighed once a week is enough. Why do you play with your mind and emotions all week long with food and the SCALE too?

Guess you just need to fight it as hard as you can and still expect a glich here and there. I do believe it's getting a little easier. At least by recording what I eat, it's opening my eyes.

I really appreciate all the comments and tips. I've just got to find a middle ground. Not to be too restrictive and allow myself to have what I want but at the same time being in control. I guess what they say about moderation being key has some truth to it. Emotions play a big part and I asked myself what three emotions…

Would it help if I told you that today when I was going up the escalator at the mall some teenage boys hit the emergency stop and I could barely walk up the steps to the next floor. It was a wake up call because I am so out of shape. And here YOU did a JM workout. It's going take small steps for me to get back in shape but…

Not good and I'm sorry about not reporting last week. PW: 187.6 CW: 188.6 Thanks, Pam ... at least the challenge kept me in the game.

Today is definitely going to be better than the last couple of days.

Not good PW - 187.6 CW - 188.8

Finally seeing some progress. PW: 189.4 CW: 187.6

You are definitely a fighter. Cheering you on to 100!

You're giving out WAY too much information. Expect to be hacked.

Sorry team, I really wasn't much in the game this week after vacation. PW 189-8 CW 189-4 Only exercised 45 minutes :(

Good for you teammate. Sorry I couldn't help the team.

RUNNING IN PLACE PW 190.4 CW 190.4

Yeah teammate. Are we #1 again?

Guess I better find a book to order since the news feed is down.

So excited. It wasn't another Thursday weigh-in when the scales were up from my official Monday weigh-in. Things finally balanced out and here's my report PW 194 CW 190.4

This go round, it was after returning from a vacation and gaining another 4#. Two years ago my daughter started blogging and lost 50#, I followed her lead and lost 30#. She quit blogging but maintained her loss for a year. I did the same but gained most of my loss back. In August of 2012 she decided it was time to get…

Bump

So happy that I can finally report I did something. Logged in all my food yesterday and hit the gym and did 35 minutes combining bike and treadmill.

I'm curious about chair dips ... need to look it up!

PW: 194 CW: 194 Frustrated

Here's my grand total for the week. 310 minutes of walking = 1133 calories

PW: 195 CW: 194 Loss of 1 pound over two weeks (I was on vacation last week) Struggling.

Sorry team one ... guess I'm not just a good team player. Vacation last week and sick this week. Minimal exercise to log, just a little walking, but at least I'm losing weight. Anxious to see if I can do better on next week's tasks. ~Sheilah
