The Scale!!!

Good Morning all!!

I started on Monday…both here and my new lifestyle change!! And I must say I’m doing great so far!!!! The only thing is, anytime I’m trying to loose weight, I feel like I’m obsessed with the scale!!! The last time I got on the scale everytime I went into the bathroom!!! This time I am trying a different approach! I ws thinking about waiting for a full week, as if I were doing weight watchers. Now I’m thinking 2 weeks, I’ve started walking with another girl who lives in my area, and she is waiting for 2 weeks. I was also prescribed Maridia, and have to go back to the DR. in 4 weeks to have my blood pressure checked…so I was thinking about waiting for the 4 weeks, till I go back to the Dr.  Is anybody else out there obsessed with their scale…or am I just really weird…or obsessive!!! LOL!!  And is anyone else out there using Maridia???  Have a great day everyone!!!

New Here!!

 Hey Guys!! I’m new here to Buddy Slim! I am a 30 year old Mother of 2! My Boy is 3 and my little girl is 4 months! Right now, I’m on maternity leave and loving it!! After I had the baby I was 10lbs lighter than I was before i got pregnant…unfortunately I already started to gain it all back!! My weight has been an issue for me all my life! I’ve decided I want to really do it this time! I want to be able to keep up with these guys…and I want them to be active!! (Not that they aren’t already)LOL!! But I mean when they get older…I also want to be around to see my grandchildren! I am 5′1 and I weigh 220lbs. According to the “charts” I am almost 100lbs over my ideal weight for my height. I’ve set my goal to 145lbs.(long term) I’m feeling kind of sad and angry all the time. I’m always lashing out at my fiance(Stephen,25). I feel this is due to my weight. I am not happy with myself, I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything! I don’t have any clothes that fit…and I look and feel gross all the time! I wonder why he would be attracted to me…and I feel like I am pushing him away! So…all that said, it’s time!! We aren’t having any more babies…so I know that this time if I loose, i won’t be batteling with baby weight again! With all that said…I am Melanie, and I would love to get to talk with others who are feeling the same way, or who are just dealing with weight loss themselves!! I happy to join!
