This is a group for people with 100 pounds or more to lose, though we are inclusive and anyone can join. Most of us have tried enough diets to realize they don't work for the long-term and are embracing a lifestyle change. This is a place to come to discuss our special challenges and share stories, kindness, support, inspiration, and the wisdom we've gained in our journeys with each other. "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
Hi everyone - today as I was measuring and weighing my food for lunch, I decided I wanted
to come here and encourage you to get a scale if you can. One of our scales we got at
Costco recently for under $20. The other one we found new and still in the box at a thrift
store for around $13. Having a scale has been invaluable to me.
Also - more recently I'm finding that it works REALLY well to measure negative weights.
For example, today I was adding ingredients like cream cheese to something I had going in
my food processor. Well, I put the cream cheese container on the scale and zero'd it out.
Then I scooped out cream cheese until the weight measured NEGATIVE 30 grams. Then I knew I
had taken out 1 serving of the cream cheese.
More and more I'm using this negative weight process to scoop things out of the container,
like cottage cheese, salsa, nut butter, on and on.
So I thought I'd share. If you're serious about tracking accurately, get a digital
scale!!!
I bought a scale months ago. I don't know what I would do without it. It's an invaluabe tool. I have two scales. The first one I have was giving me trouble, so I ordered a new one. While I was waiting for my new scale. My husband's magical hands fixed the old one. Computers and gagets love him. He did the same @#$% things I did and managed to get the scale to work, where I got no results.
