Correct way to weigh yourself

Ugh!!

I have lost the will to diet. I was doing pretty well, I had a routine. I was losing, even if it wasn't as much as I had wanted to. I was feeling good. Getting rid of the carbonated drinks and fast food made me feel great. Salads and Fruit, Fish and chicken, no simple carbs, what a plan! and it was working. If you know me at all you know how much I don't like cooking for one, and I was cooking everyday! Then there was disapointment when my original scale broke and I couldn't be sure any of the first three weeks of weight loss were valid. The new scale showed a gain from the previous, unreliable, resuts. UGH!!! But, I plugged along, undeterred. A week of visitors put the nail in the coffin. I tried to hold on to the diet but it slipped away as I spent time with the kids. I struggle to get back on track, but it is hard.. But then again, no one said it would be easy, they only set it would be worth it. So I keep trying....

Kind of sparse reports this week. Here are the results. With Connie and John as the winners this week, both loosing 4 pounds. Way to go.

Next week I will post the results on Wednesday, as I will be out of town. Please send me your weights on MONDAY as per the rules :).

Happy 24th of July.

I have decided to simplify the report. So this week I am posting the current weight, total weight lost and the percentage lost. Would you rather see the total weight lost this week? Let me know, or I'll do whatever I feel like.

My Unknown Weakness.

Hey everyone this is Taylor.
I found a website that is really helpful for me to know my calorie intake, and where my calories are coming from. It also tells you protein, fat, and carbs. Its completely free and its online. www.fitday.com/
You can record what you eat and how much of it and it will tell you whats in it! You can put your exercising and it'll tell you what you burn. =) yay. I found that even though I didn't eat a lot, what I was eating wasn't nutritionally correct, so just check it out. Great... right! Good job to everyone in this, trying is the key. I love you all!
Taylor.
