Morning all. Im so frustrated today and not feeling well (stuffy nose etc.). I havent worked out in 2 days, been busy with the kids. I know i said i was staying off the scale til feb 1st but i couldnt help it. I havent lost anymore weight yet. Still at 248lbs i think... its too hard to tell with that stupid old style scale i have. I think im going to try to buy a digital one today here at work. Everytime i look at that scale i feel like smashing it. I been logging my food daily into myfitnesspal and been staying within my target fat and calorie range and still nothing else. Hoping for a change soon.

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...

Im having the same scale issues and am waiting for one to come from Ebay. It will be a lot better if you can get a digital scale, that way you can see when you are losing 1/2 lbs as well as whole lbs.
Stay Strong. It will all work itself out!!
