yep, put that scale away. You are exercising, you know you have to be in good shape, what does it matter what you weigh?

I hate the battle of the bulge and the moving scale…mine has hated me since May…May, I was happy with my weight…now, just yesterday, while running, a good feeling run even, I let the thought “I hate my body” drift in…

Do you really think the body catches up? I’ve been running for almost two years. I lost some inches. The only pound I lost is due to the sickness a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps it’s only my body. It has this proclivity, to exasperate me. I think your girl on the scale can relate.

And this is why my bathroom scales are hidden away for moments of bravery and not just the every day. Get rid of them for sure, it is so much more about how you are feeling. Don’t let the scales determine that! Have a good day!

Strange. I weighed myself for the first time since summer and I’ve lost 15 lbs. I had no idea where it went.

I have noticed that I always weigh 2 lbs more after a workout than before. Obviously I am putting on a pile o’ muscle in a short period of time.

I do feel better knowing I’m not the only one, though.

Exactly how much time do we give the body to catch up to the routine? Cuz I’ve been at it for a month and all the scale does is go up in weight. I’m beginning to think that the people at the gym calibrate it so to ensure repeat customers. And if I hear one more person say that muscle weighs more than fat I’m going to scream! So yeah….how much time??

It is discouraging when you feel like you are on a roll and have done so much… and the numbers just don’t illustrate it! The body does catch up; the trick is not loosing momentum while you wait!

I bought a new scale last night. It was the first one I’ve owned in years. I feel I need it to keep me honest. But I told Magoo to hide it from me and let me use it once a week to monitor my progress, or lack thereof.

First of all: You are winning. Life is a journey.. and You are a Winner.

I appreciated your sharing… February and March are usually good times for shaping up for me.
I want to shape up my mind, here, and get to it. So maybe we can start a trend. (Getting ready for spring, or something like that?)
