Wiseacre husband and a weigh in... - ThinnerTimes

Gina · 01-27-2006, 08:40 AM

I get to the gym and I am getting ready to weigh. Now, everyone knows that you remove anything that will weigh more right? So I am dropping my towel and water and cleaning out my poskets .... when my huband says ever so dryly... want me to hold your necklace? LOL I wear a TINY diamond necklace. It was pretty funny.

So anyway I hop up on the scale and it is down 10 lbs! I think I have got the weight on wrong or something (it is a DR. Scale) so do it again. Then go worl out then do it again and YEP 10 pounds. So after only 1 last week it was a HUGE boost.

Makes 50 pounds in just over 5 weeks.

Way to go! You're halfway to the century mark, too!

Great job on the loss! Gotta love the wise comments from our significant others.

When I used to go to TOPS, I wore the exact same clothes every week-- a pair of the LIGHTEST shorts and shirt I owned-- and I weighed in in those clothes every single time, winter included. I would show up in sweats and then take them off so that I could weigh in in shorts and a T-shirt. And of course, I took off my watch and any jewelry too!!

On one hand, at least I knew my weight reading was accurate week-to-week and not altered by the clothes I was wearing, but I wasn't doing it for accuracy-- I was doing it so that I could show as weighing as "little" as possible; I was paranoid that any extra ounce of anything would ruin my chances for a "good" week... to the point where I wouldn't eat anything on weigh-in day, OR drink anything for 6 hours before the scale.

I lost weight, sure, but it certainly wasn't a very mentally healthy way of doing it. The stress was my main factor in eventually quitting; I felt like I was giving myself an eating disorder over a weight-loss support group.

Anyone who says obesity isn't a disease is insane-- it kills your body AND your mind, if you let it. Glad to hear that you're winning the battle!!

Wow, that's an awesome weight loss! Good for you.

I too always take off shoes and sit down purses, etc. I admit though, that while I was trying to get my approval I went to a nutritionist........and actually LOADED my pockets with coins in case she weighed me.

She didn't even ask me.

I weigh in the morning, after going 1 and 2, butt nekkid, and totally dry

Marie:

It's funny that you posted almost exactly how I weigh in the morning. I weigh after my walk, just as I'm about to step into the shower (naked).
