Re: Down 30 pounds!!! Sherry...

[Guest guest]

Hi. I just had to tell you that I lost 18 pounds in my first two

weeks then went through a long period where the scales did not move

at all until yesterday. I, like you, could tell that I was losing but

the scales refused to budge. You'll have a huge loss one day soon.

Thanks for responding to my post. (Mine was mostly water loss, too. I

retained fluids really bad before surgery.)

About 7 years ago I lost over 100 pounds and of course I gained it all back

that is why I am here. One thing I am doing this time is I have purchased a

set of digital scales. This way I cannot manipulate where the mark on the 0

is. I would freak out of the needle was offset. I am determined to only

weigh once a week. I am hoping that mentally this will help me this time.

I drove my own self crazy before.
