And sometimes even at night before I go to bed. by doing so, I've learned what can cause a temporary jump in one direction or the other,-too much booze, too much bread, too much corn, adding on some muscle, etc. I dont get too excited by these small, temporary changes. <BR/><BR/>I do however get excited when I see a real trend, like my recent drop from 192 to 188 over the past 10 days (due to the intermittent fasting plan that I just started).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606061098538457496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-31670456772208823242007-08-01T10:02:00.000-04:002007-08-01T10:02:00.000-04:00Hey Adele!

I'm glad to meet up with you again!! Great post about the scale -- I struggle daily with that stupid little white "demon box" -- I really can't put it away, because DH likes to keep track of his weight, like he really needs to, his weight has not changed in the 10 years we have been married!!

My mood for the day would always center around whether I was up or down a few pounds, an amount that no one but myself would notice or care about. I've recently stopped weighing myself and my goals (yes, even in maintenance) all center around healthy eating and exercise habits rather tha numbers on the scale.Sweet Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10018807331355503131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-84743174257070087432007-07-31T16:57:00.000-04:002007-07-31T16:57:00.000-04:00You're right, Melodie.

When I started the Short Girls Support Group at Kimkins, I can't tell you how many times I preached the evils of the scale, and how sick they all became of hearing it. Some people can handle the scale and if they can, great, but I'm not one of them. I could care less how much I weigh, all that concerns me is how much space I occupy. It's all about the pants size, baby!<BR/><BR/>I have never seen one little piece of equipment cause so much misery for so many.<BR/><BR/>I do think the scale has it's place, and that is with maintenance. It can be an early warning that you're backsliding. <BR/><BR/>I believe there is some new reseach that says your waist size is actually more important than your weight when it comes to health.DD Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474031050858948887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-48666031871962990082007-07-31T16:13:00.000-04:002007-07-31T16:13:00.000-04:00There are many people who feel this way.

They <BR/>seem to forget it took months or years to gain the weight, and it might take a while to lose it, too.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, cheating on a low carb diet can be the kiss of death for several days. One cheat can knock you out of ketosis and it might take you several days of LC eating to get back on track.<BR/><BR/>The good thing about losing more slowly though is that you are losing more FAT than muscle. This is a great thing in the long run.<BR/><BR/>I would rather lose 5 pounds in a couple of months than to lose 10 pounds in a months and struggle to<BR/>keep it off.<BR/><BR/>Every doctor will tell you that weight loss should be slow..no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week..:)<BR/><BR/>Just keep plugging away, sticking to your "lifestyle" choice and it will happen..<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you..CarolynCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636690168046964878noreply@blogger.com
