I weigh myself every morning. If I see the scales going up two pounds for more than a couple of days, it's time to get it back down. Otherwise, it's too easy to let it go and then 2 pounds becomes 10. And I am not going there.

I also don't own a scale.  I go by how my clothes fit and my waist measurement.

When I was actively monitoring my weight, I weighted myself daily.  If I noticed a two pound gain after several days, I started to adjust my diet.  Those pounds sneak up and before you know it two pounds become ten pounds.

Now that I am over the hill and retired, I am not as fanatic.   I judge by how my clothes fit, which I admit isn't a good system because ten pounds usually equates a different size for me.  

I remember someone telling me that wearing sweat pants, and similar pull on casual wear around the house is one of the worst things because it is hard tell when you are gaining weight.

This is so true!! Although I can still fit into my wedding dress, it's so easy to fall into the elastic waist band trap.

After reading all of your posts, I am proud of you all and you have shamed me good for having no will power at all. LOL

My birthday present to myself is to start Jenny Craig tomorrow. I am going to use super glue on my teeth after I lose my weight in hopes that it will stay off this time.

Five pounds and I get concerned. I already have two sizes in my clothes. I do not like tight clothes. Feel so uncomfortable in them. Ruins my day.

I would say 25. But right now it is probably 40! OMG! Bad Girl for sure! Better get eating less real quick, summer is right around the corner! I have been really slacking this past year, plus every year it seems to be getting a little harder to lose. I personally think I do not even have a metabolism anymore. I really have to cut down and walk in my neighborhood every chance possible. I could probably walk for miles up and down hills here and still be in my neighborhood. Hmmm..... sounds better when I write it down.... maybe this month would be a good time to jump back on that!! Ya think? Swimsuit season WILL be here before we know it! Don't want to scare anyone at the lake!! 🙂

I'm a skinny minnie!  I recently found out that I have a slightly overactive thyroid, no medication necessary.  Works for me!
