Topic: RE: sitting on the fence
Hi Jody and everyone,
I just wanted to thank you so much for posting about this. I am new to this site as of this week and this board has helped me think about things so much more clearly than anything I have read so far. I really don't know which way I will go but I do know I will put a ton of thought into my decision. I didn't get into this position overnight and I wont get out of it overnight. I will have long talks with my psy doc and my PCP both of whom I trust very much. You are all so brave and open and share so much , thank you for that !!!

Topic: RE: Weekly Weigh In
Jody....EXCELLENT loss for the month! 15-20lb is a pretty hefty (no pun intended 
) goal for each month. Don't sabotage yourself by setting your expectations too high....I know when I do that, I can get discouraged and that leads to trouble. (not telling you what to do...just a warning from my own experience).
As for the weigh-ins....I found myself wearing the same clothes each week too, purely by accident as I felt they weighed the least of my wardrobe. Since I've restarted WW, I will be wearing one of two pair of capris that are the lightest and a choice between a couple of light weight tops...hey it can't hurt!
I'm one that is on the scale each night before I go to bed and each morning (of course nude and right after using the toilet) like clockwork. I even weigh in on a daily weigh-in thread on Low Carb Friends....helps to keep me honest I think and as long as I weigh every day anyway, it helps me keep track.

Topic: RE: Weekly Weigh In
LOL, I had no idea anyone would do that - wear the same clothes for weekly weight in. But then I realize that I would do the same thing under those kinds of cir****tances.
I'm sure I share a very common routine with people who weight at home - first thing in the morning, after using the toilet and in the nude. - gotta give yourself all the help you can. OTOH when I get weighed at the Drs. office I always take off any heavy jewelry, cell phone, shoes - etc. anything that I think is heavy is stripped off. I wonder, when I reach goal if I will bother doing this or if I will always have psychological trauma over getting weighed?

Again this is a new group so please bare with me. If you go under community and click groups directory then search CLOTHING EXCHANGE, you should see a group by me!
Thanks soo much for your support,
Navy_Wife

15 lbs in a month is VERY GOOD! 
More than I used to lose in a month.
Remember, slow and steady wins the race...keep your eyes on the big picture. You can do it!!!!!

Topic: RE: Weekly Weigh In
ya jeans definitely weigh more..i also usually wait until after I have a good Bm b4 I get on that scale..for me that can be a difference of up to 2 lbs*lol* tons and tons of vegies will do that
so I am down 15lbs in one month, not sure if that is good or bad but I will take it as long as it is moving in the downward direction.
I have set a goal of 15-20lbs per month for myself, already have a plan for changing things up for any stalls etc..

every time I have walked up and confronted them they freak out*LOL*..some even apologize and usually as u walk away the really insecure ones will make snide remarks*lol* I have always used my size to my advantage, I am tall, big and very confident..it scares some ppl or i am soo overly nice they feel guilty*lol8 after a lifetime in my body I haev learned how to use it to work for me when needed..sometimes confidence alone intimidates ppl..even if u do not feel confident..FAKE IT, ppl never known u could be quivering inside
so just walk that hot bod nice and tall and let it brush off those beautiful shoulders knowing that those lazy boys will have some beer guts in about 5 yrs *lol*
I am going to be 40 yrs old and still get teased about my last name, for real? grown ass ppl still teasing*lol*

Topic: RE: Weekly Weigh In
LOL!! ok, when i was in ww before, i didn't even realize i was doing it but i was always wearing the same outfit, i guess maybe i thought it was my lightest outfit, but one day i had on a different outfit and one of the women said "i didn't recognize you, you don't have your weigh in outfit on" i was like "what are you talking about?" and she told me i always wore this blue outfit i have every wednesday!! i'm kind of glad she pointed that out to me because i go to ww during a lunch hour at work and i'm sure the people at work were starting to wonder why i kept wearing that same outfit every week!!!
