[AnnDe]

OK! It has now been nearly 10 months since I started this an I have given it all I can. At first it was exciting and now it gets me down! I do it each day. Some times it makes me go crazy. Get up NOTHING! get ready for bed NOTHING! what can I do to change this. I take my vitamins, drink my water, exercise, eat all the right foods and still I feel and see nothing. Will this morning I got up and told myself this is it! I AM DONE!


GOOD BYE !
IT WAS FUN!
IT MADE ME MAD!
SO THIS IS IT
ITS GONE
I'M DONE:sad:

Okay, I admit, you had me going for a minute. Good for you on weighing once a week! Do what you gotta do, DeAnn. If the scale reading is making you crazy, quit weighing! You really are doing great. :love:

DeAnn!!! Don't scare us like that! You did have me going and I was almost in a panic FOR you! Good girl for putting away the scale. I am going to have to force myself to do the same. You have done so well.

DeAnn! Damnit! I am so gonna pay you back for that!! *relieved laugh*

I think this plateau is very normal. I was on one for about three months!

Great idea about the scales. I need to do that too. I've been weighing every morning and I used to really encourage everyone to put the scales away and only get them out once a week. The reward is SO MUCH BETTER!

This weekend is our visit weekend! See you on Friday :)

Hi, my name is Karen, and I am a Scale-aholic! I, however, am not giving up my addiction! :p I only write my weight down once a week, but I too hop on the scales first thing each morning and last thing each night. I know it's obsessive, but that doesn't bother me. :tongue1:

Being too fat to have a scale helps alot...i'm afraid of my future scale addiction once I am in normal scale range.

The scales are put way again until after the holidays. I did take some current photos.The first picture was taken Feb.4 2006 the day I went to the doctor for my appointment. The dress picture was take Dec.25 2006 I have loss 111lbs in this period of time. With a total weight loss of 140 since January 2006
My life has change in the past 8-10 months. I have lost a lot in this time. It is hard for me to see it with out pictures. I really was proud of myself for getting into the dress. I had bought this dress when I weight 345 lbs for a cruise in 2002. There was no way the dress would ever fit. I really don't know why I kept it. Then it became my Christmas goal. I did wear the dress but have to be honest it was not comfy at all. There was no bending or setting. Now my goal for valentines day is to wear the dress and even go out to dinner in it. I just wanted to share with you how things are going. It has been a struggle these past few months I have only lost 10 lbs since Oct. I think a lot has to due with depression with the loss of my father. I really miss him and wish he could of seen me in the dress... I know he's proud! He had Christmas in Heaven with Jesus this year! Lucky MAN~~~~[ATTACH][ATTACH]
