Move the scale, lose 3 pounds, I did!
Maybe you can lose even more weight if you move it to another part of the
house! -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net http://community.webshots.com/user/perpleglow "That T Woman" wrote in message ... A couple of weeks ago I moved my scale from the kitchen where I had been weighing every morning (in the buff) to the bedroom where I placed it on a concrete garden path block. The bedroom's carpeted so I thought placing it on the block would overcome that problem. I've been frustrated that I've been super diligent and kept not only my portions under control, my calories slightly under my 8x weight limit, ate the best nutritious food I could, exercised everyday but I've been stuck at 205 for almost 3 weeks. This morning after seeing 205 on the scale once again, I decided to take the scale back in the kitchen and see if it weighed different. It weighed 202, the four times I got on it! That was with my DH weighing himself too. So the scale stays in the kitchen, the block goes back in the yard and I'm happy. Three pounds isn't enough to notice a difference in the way my clothes fit so seeing the number on the scale drop once in a while is how I stay motivated. If I stayed off the scale (which some people would recommend) I'd drift back into bad eating habits. Tonia |

I can move my scale around to different places and have it change the
reading too. But how does that mean that you really lost weight? Perhaps the gravity is lower in the kitchen? The key is always having the scale in the same place, and weighing at the same time in the same clothes (or lack of). That is how to keep an accurate record of loss or gains. If you are truly at a plateau, then make some changes to your habits. If you are eating less than 8x your current weight, you are only eating about 1600 calories per day. Try increasing your calories for a couple of weeks and see what happens. 1600 calories for someone who weighs 205 is on the low side. Melissa 140/133/? "That T Woman" wrote in message ...

The scale was originally in the kitchen and that was where I determined I
had lost the previous 16 pounds. Evidently the placement of the scale on the concrete block on carpet effected how it weighed. I'm going to leave it in the kitchen and keep my WOE like it is for a while. I'm 45 years old and my metabolism is on the slow side. I came to the 8x weight formula as being the level where I lose weight by experimenting. I gained a little weight at 10x weight, maintained at 9x and lose at about 8x. Sometimes since I fill up on low calorie vegetables, it's hard to even eat up to the 8x level. A lot of days I'm at 1200 or even below after dinner so then at about 8 o'clock at night (I keep a spreadsheet with measures and calorie counts of what I eat as the day goes on) I have to figure out non-junk snacks to eat to make up the 400 calorie deficient. With the 3 pound loss as of this morning, I've lost 19 pounds in 96 days since I've been doing 8x weight. Tonia "Melissa" wrote in message ...

DH's is 56 years old; there's only so many times a day he can participate in

I guess that's what I need to do.
It's been so busy in my life, I haven't had time to get to the gym, unfortunately. At least I have three vacation days off next week. : ) Martha "Perple Gyrl" wrote in message ...
