Default I Big Pre-Op Wow!!!

As part of the scale whores code I weighed this morning. I decided to try, just to see, if I could weigh on my scale at home. I stepped on the scale and it gave me a weight like it does for everybody else. Furthermore, I gave me a weigh that was 4lbs. lighter than last week. Now I don't have to run over to the hospital every time I have to weigh.

Wooo Whooo!

As I said in the other thread (not seeing this post yet).. you're doing spectacularly well, Jon..

Now.. the danger with this, Mr. Scale Whore.. is that you need to stay off that thing except for Mondays!... lol...

Good luck!

Such a great feeling when you see those numbers go down, isn't it?!

Keep up the great work and keep us updated on your progress.

That is an awsome WOW moment. I do not have a scale at home, because I am sure I would be on it all the time. I work from home but go into the office on Saturdays for 4 hours, we have a scale there so I can only weigh myself once a week, it works much better to see a weeks worth of efforts then not seeing anything everyday! Hopefully you will get your approval soon and you can join me and all the others on the losers bench. I will be making my apperance on the bench on the 19th!!!! Just got the approval on friday! Keep up the good work!
