X2

you will be ok, minor set back

lol, I may weight and not look. I didnt really eat anything that will add "real" weight to me. It was a high sodium meal, so I will retain fluid for the next day or two.

It will look bad, but its really only a minor setback.

Your right, Elevan. I'll just write it down, roll my eyes and drink my slimfast!!!!

Do you really want to weigh yourself every day? I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, but it seems to me that the real proof of progress towards change is going to be in your daily steps taken to get healthy. Walking, and eating better and taking care of yourself. These are tangible measures of progress and steps taken towards change.

My observation however, is this, you might want to consider, as part of your program, eliminating the negative influences that would discourage you from reaching your goal. I would think daily weigh-ins would discouraging because weight fluctuates daily and daily weights changes are going to be so imperceptible. Thus a weekly weigh-in would be a more tangible, positive and noticeable measure of overall progress.

I do intend to weigh myself everyday. I like the instant gratification of seeing that I lost a tenth of a pound and if I see myself creeping upward on the weight, I can cath it early. With my metabolism, its nothing for me to gain 4-5 pounds a week. Weekly weigh ins are great for alot of people, they are just not for me.


Not to mention, daily weights are part of the agreement I made with my Doc.


I dont really have any negative influences, with the exception of a brother but I rarely see him so his mouth doesnt matter.

I like to weigh weekly but every once in awhile I get curious when I pass by the scales and just jump on...it can make your day~ or you can know to ramp it up for the rest of the week.

 

[redtailgal]

I havent forgotten. I hope that the rest of you ladies are keepin' on keepin' on.

Stay strong with this.

I may be a little sporadic with updates for a day or so, bear with me.

I did ok today, sugars were good. Weight 139 so the sodim didnt hurt as bad as I thought.

 

[redtailgal]

Been a wild weekend. I havent been able to keep up with my journal online, but I have maintianed the paper version.

I am still at 139. Hitting one of my famous plateaus, so i took today off the diet, and just ate responsibly. If all goes according to plan, that should jump start things, and I should be back on track soon.

Where are the rest of the Red Mama's? Dont quit ladies!!!!! C'mon, update your journals, tell me how your doin, we are a team remember?
