Glad to hear that you are going down the scale so well....
I totally understand the same scale thing. This is why I weighed on the hospital scale on the 31st. I will no longer weigh here at home. I will always weigh in at the hospital now. The doctor and the bariatric coordinator both said that because I am as big as I am that regular house scales will not weigh me accurately. The scale at the hospital is one that is built into the floor and the weight limit is 800 pounds. So, it will be the most accurate one available to me until I lose at least 150 more pounds.
It seems so unlikely that I will be able to do this. But, the surgeon and the bariatric coordinator said that they are confident that I can do this without surgery. That would be so awesome but we will see.
I just want to be able to walk without pain and be able to do things like normal people. PLUS I am still beating myself up for allowing myself to get so heavy. Oh well. I cannot change that at all. I can only do what I can today.
My parents tonight are having a HUGE poker tournemont here at our house so there is going to be food galore here and I just finished eating a ton of baby carrots, fruit and popcorn. I am good for now.
I hope everyone else is doing well!
