Food scale, digital or spring?
I think I need a new scale. Or at least mentally I need/want one. I have a spring one. You know the cheapo from the store. It has served its purpose. Recently the kids have adopted it for their own science fun as we homeschool and it has become the catch all for anything that it can hold. Needless to say based on the…

Reaching your goal weight and not happy
I am 8 pounds to my goal weight of 150. I am not happy at all. I will have reached the 60+ mark that point around 2 SNeeds kiddos that I homeschool and I am proud of that challenge.

I am looking at attending 2 classes tomorrow. I usually burn between 400-600 depending which instructor. I wear a HRM. I do the TDEE from Scooby.

Inches VS Pounds, is there a balance?
I am losing Inches, which I love. But the scale is a stubborn machine that I do not rely on totally but wish it liked me. I began the day after Chrismas as soon as the extended visitors left the house. I have almost lost 4 pounds in that time frame. 5 inches in the waist and 2 inches at the spare tire on the hips. I really…
