| anybody whos losing or has lost weight knows that weighing yourself once a week is an acquired thing...when you..or ( me and my mom) are started out...you need some type of proof beyond motivation that you really are doing something..denting your life in some way...all of that hard work has to have something to show...the proof is in the scale in the beginning I think..my mom was 44lbs heavier in febuary/march...so now she dosent weigh herself everyday because she knows its working..I guess the weigh-in today lets me know that I am losing and I'll try to stay away from the scale |
