| Get Rid Of Your Scale
I have been working the program intensively in the last two weeks, am talking about doing CURVES and Calisthetics five times a week. Eating Lean Cuisine and drinking 70 oz of water everyday ---- but when i weighed in last Tuesday, the scale told me that I had gained four pounds. I was so depressed!!
Today, I had an appointment with my nutritionist, and scale at the hospital indicated that I had lost FIVE pounds in two weeks.
Conclusion, GET RID OF YOUR BATHROOM SCALE..... its in the trash as I speak!!

State: TX | Amen! I had to have my hubby hide my scale! I find myself weighing myself WAY too often! I get excited at ounces lost, but get SO depressed when I've gained something. It's discouraging!

City: Lewisville State: TX | Yeah, we got a brand new ritzy scale when me and my hubby started this process. It's right on par with my dr's office scale, minus the clothes weight of course. I kept my old scale and its like 6 pounds off...

City: Sacramento State: CA | I had to just buy a new scale because I noticed every time I would weigh myself just before visiting the doc. My scale would always be anywhere from 3-5 lbs. MORE than what my docs scale says.
Well, my new one works great. Has body fat% and water% and all kinds of neat doo-dads that I'm too lazy to try to figure out.
Good advice tchilambe! | |

Good advice tchilambe! | What kind (make & model) of scale do you have?

Well, I don't know about that. Yes, the true measurement of health is lifestyle, but you should keep a moniter of what you weigh.
Don't just weight yourself when you think you've done well, or you'll ge discoraged (ie. water weight, no bowel movement), but pick on day a MONTH (the 1st is a good idea), and weight yourself then.
Don't even think about it until then. It's fun because it's like losing 20 pounds between weigh-ins.
Measure yourself instead. Sometimes you can lose inches without losing weight.

There is really no need to yourself every day. That's a little obsessive - there's more to life!!! Live!!!

State: me | i weigh myself everyday and it seems to determine my mood for the day. if i go a few days and see that ive lost like 4 lbs sometimes of celebrate by eating something bad. and then the days when i gain a few i eat extra good. its a mind thing. im coming to the conclusion (even though i like seeing what i weigh everyday) that i need to cut back on how much i weigh myself. i should be trying to eat good everyday. its ok to have something sinful once in awhile but my way is unhealthy. its like im sabataging myself for some reason when the scale starts to go down. overall ive been losing 5 then gaining four back. talk about feeling like a failure. i am so upset with myself at this point. its been like this for 2 months. so should i only weigh myself once a week or should i stay away all together? i am obsessed to see everyday.
andrea
thanks

City: Plano State: Texas | I WAS gonna buy a scale, but decided against it, because a friend told me I would probably be weighing myself everyday. So I didn't buy one. Now I just weigh myself once a week on the scale I have at my job for our "Biggest Loser" program. It is accurate, and I'm im not tempted to weigh everyday because the scale is clear in a whole different building.
