On a roll

Alrighty, I FINALLY have some good news!! Over the weekend my amazing hubby got me a new elliptical/stationary bike!! It's nothing amazing, or expensive - but it works, and that's all that matters!! I have 3 days now of exercising behind me and this week I'm going for at least 45 minutes a day, every day. I have almost half the week done so things are looking good. I have also been weighing myself every morning, first thing in the morning to get a consistent reading on where my weight is. I know, it seems silly, but when you weight yourself later in the day you weigh more, and I need the constant visual reminder that I need to lose and that I am at least not gaining weight.

How many times a week do you weigh yourself? Do you do it once a week to be surprised, or do you do it every other day, or every day to have a constant reminder??

Yay for new exercise equipment! I weigh once a week. BTW, I'm a bigger Baskstreet Boys fan too, but most of their songs are slower and not the best for jogging lol!

How fun to have new equipment!! Rock that elliptical!

I have a tendency to weigh-in daily. It helps me be accountable to myself. I'd love to get to a healthy weight and then weigh myself just once a week in maintenance mode, but I find that right now if I skip a few days of stepping on the scale it's because I know I've made lousy choices and the scale scares me LOL. So I'm currently using it as a daily tool to keep me accountable to myself. :)

I'm totally in agreement with Ang!
ANY exercise is better than NONE!

Yay for you! I'd love to have one but just don't have the room.

I weigh myself every morning and then I have a WW weigh-in once a week, which is in the evening. Don't like that weight as much ;-) I'm a lifetime member at goal so at least I don't have to pay.
