I got in a scale today. It got me at 405. That is not to bad considering the last time I had an accurate weigh in was 413. But that was some time ago. I am going to check the weight once a week for a sort of visible measure. I will try and wake up and go to the gym tomorrow morning. We will see how that goes as they are making me walk around half my shift at work and that leaves me tired. I am setting my clock though and when I get done I may share. This will be the first time at the gym since I moved and I want to start keeping track of that as well.

Walking around your shift is good! That's just more exercise.

I am so, so proud of you! You're doing this right.

thanks. Encouragement does actually help.

I'm enjoying this. Getting in shape, doing podcasts - it's like you're coming into your own, and it's great to see.

Well right now my shape is round but I am working on it at least. heh. I have other things I am working on and hopefully will have progress to show soon.

Awesome! Remember to keep the scale in mind as positive reinforcement. Don't let it get to you too much in a negative way.

Also, weigh yourself at the same time each day. Right before going to bed seems to give the most consistent results for me. Right after waking up tended to vary more, I suspect due to inconsistent water loss while sleeping.

I am actually thinking track the weight weekly will be more helpful. Weight fluctuates to much on a daily basis. But the plan is to trend down.

Tracking weekly is good also...but still weigh yourself at the same time.

I weigh in the evenings. With my shoes off.
