Sometimes I get DH to hide the scale so I can't check it religiously evEry day!!!! I try to only check once a week at the same time on the same day (Saturday morning) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191263 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 10:14:14 +0000 looch 191263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to weigh myself every now and again to keep my weight in check. I don't do it daily, but I do have a goal weight in mind. I realize I need to exercise to get there, but I just haven't had the motivation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191258 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 10:12:13 +0000 mrsjyw 191258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope to be, post-baby. Just wanted to send you a huge CONGRATS on your loss already! and good juju for the rest of your journey to your happy balancing point! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191186 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:27:53 +0000 Sophia 191186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally was confused by 'balance' at first, but I get it now ;) We don't have a scale in our house. I've been in recovery from an eating disorder for about 6 years and I still don't trust myself with one. Maybe someday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191185 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:27:42 +0000 DillonLion 191185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha yeah I was like...the balance?? OH Scale. Got it :)</p> <p>Congrats on the weight loss! The scale/balance and I have a SORDID history, so I don't weigh myself regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191179 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:26:49 +0000 Minnie_Girl 191179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly ever thought about it before getting pregnant. I'd never gone through big weight changes and knew how much my weight could fluctuate in a single day. </p> <p>I've checked my weight twice during my pregnancy (16 weeks) and regretted it both times. Just 3 extra pounds is a huge leap in weight for me, putting me at the heaviest I've ever been! Ugh. </p> <p>It's really not worth the emotional disturbance. The important thing is to eat a nutritional diet with correct portions and get regular exercise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191172 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:24:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 191172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachel me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191145 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:11:47 +0000 mamabolt 191145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm 39 weeks pregnant right now and have hidden our scale where I can't find it (and don't look at my weight at the midwife's office either). But I think once I start trying to lose weight post baby I am going to try and stick with a once a week weigh in, the daily fluctuations mess with my head too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191139 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:07:46 +0000 Shutterbug 191139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @blushink: Haha I was thinking the same thing! I thought this post was going to be about balancing food groups or something :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-191133 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:04:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 191133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: hahaha... I knew someone would point it out. Afterwards, I realized BALANCE = SCALE hehe</p> <p>I also think the FRENCH Canadian in me... is also at fault. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-190836 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 00:49:59 +0000 mrbee 190836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Love all the Canadian words in your post! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-190590 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:17:43 +0000 Alivoo01 190590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations on your weight loss!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-190295 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:04:34 +0000 chopsuey 190295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: Yep! Big clothes are a good thing!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-190288 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:03:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 190288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: It's actually nice, because I haven't really done anything. I'm sure if I didn't eat so much like a pig, I would lose more weight. </p> <p>It just sucks that I don't have any capris/shorts that fit me. They just fall off (and I don't want to spend money now on clothes) I guess it's a good problem to have ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-190277 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:01:39 +0000 chopsuey 190277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're doing such a great job dropping the weight!<br /> When I'm dieting and exercising I jump on the scale every morning too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-obsessed-with-the-balance#post-190247 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:57:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 190247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to admit I'm a little obsessed with the balance. I actually weigh myself every single morning. DH thinks I'm nuts... but I like to see how my weight fluctuates, or if I've shedded more weight.</p> <p>Clearly I don't do this on a regular basis (unless I'm working out or counting calories)... but now that I'm post-partum and breastfeeding, I know it affects my calorie intake hence shedding (in most cases) </p> <p>I have been eating like a pig though! breastfeeding makes me hungry and thristy... I'm looking forward to my okay from the doc to start working out (another 3 weeks to go)</p> <p>I don't know, maybe it's because when I got pregnant the second time around, I was beyond motivated to lose the weight. I see it as "its now or never" to get back to a weight I feel comfortable and that I haven't been in years!!!</p> <p>So far I'm doing well... lost 24lbs since baby and I'm at a weight I haven't been in 4 years. I still have another 20 lbs to lose if I want to get to my highschool/college weight. </p>
