If you live the life the number will follow!
Ok slim buddies here is my spiel for today. I really started dieting hard again on Saturday. Got serious about this healthy life style. Exercising and eating the right things in the right quantities. As I stated previously I started this kick last year when I found a digital scale that read 419! I was appalled. I thought it would of said about 350. NOT! So I lost about 110 lbs. Had a heart attack. And essentially blew off six months and back slid. Dumb. Oh so dumb. When I entered this site Monday for the first time I put my weight at 335 but that really was a wish. When I finally weighed Tuesday it was more like 339. I was disappointed in the number but deep down I knew it would be close to that. Thank goodness it wasn’t worse. Anyway I couldn’t help myself and weighed again wednesday and thursday. I had been eating right and working out dilligently but the scale didn’t move. Until today! When you have been dieting as long as I have and been in this body this long (almost 55 years) you kind of know what is going on. The past couple of days I just didn’t feel the weight loss. Today I knew it was gone. Three pounds disappeared just like that. I swear when I eat the right things in the right quantities and exercise, I can feel my body go into fat burn. It is kind of a sensation.
My overall point is and I sincerely believe this that if you live the life the number will follow. I knew all along if I keep exercising the way that I have and eat the right quantities of the right foods (fruit, veggies, no sugar, and no white carbs) I will loose weight. So why are we so obsessed with hopping on a scale to look at a number? I wish I had a good answer. We all talk about it and we all want to meet our goal in a day. Now that I know that progress is being made maybe I can move on to other topics. I hope I didn’t bore anyone into a slumber. Have a healthy happy day.
Oh, almost forgot. Yes the workout today was 47 min on the treadmill and 45 min in Reebok cycle class. Burn baby burn. I will post a new weight tuesday. Bye for now.

keep the attitude and you will make your goal
have a great weekend
Hey hun, keep up that hard work!! You are doing great, and have a great attitude! I look forward to seeing your weightloss Tuesday! Great job
Great job on the loss. See? Diligence pays off… ALWAYS!
I hate the scale and at one point WAS becoming obsessed with it, to the point that I got very very frustrated, and that did NOTHING to help me in my weight loss efforts. Now I weigh once a week and I’m done with it for the next 7 days. I weigh because it keeps me focused on my goals. I respect the scales, and they let me know when I’m slipping up, but I don’t let it run my every emotion anymore either.
Keep up the good work and looking forward to reading about your next loss, which is sure to be soon cause you are rockin the exercise and eating. Love the “no sugar no white carbs” attitude.
Have a wonderful weekend buddy!
Hugggggggggs,

Good for you. You are staying focused and determined. I have no doubt you will reach your goals. Everyone is cheering for you!!
Good for you! And I believe the same thing. If you work out and eat right the scale will be good to you. Maybe not every week but it will happen the next week. And if it still doesn’t, then you change things up or increase things. It just makes sense that working out and eating right will make the scale move at some point. (unless there is something medically that’s happening that’s preventing it, of course). Have a great weekend and keep working hard!
Love the idea - i really feel like this is all about a change in life and habit and getting more into who we want to be. that being said, i am a little scale obsessed right now as i’m using it to see where i am. hopefully, soon that will just happen with myself and my body, but for now the scale is helping out! and congrats on eating well, exercising, losing 3 lbs, and being here!
Good for you John Boy..I am proud of you for losing those 3 pounds. I know first hand how hard that is to do…Keep going,and know that you can count on me to be here for you…
