| Absolutely...I am not on a diet. That's a great point too- that if you are weighing yourself constantly it does rather imply that you are dieting doesn't it!? I agree - and just don't get it when people weigh themselves four or five + times a week! Once a week at most is sufficient and I do it once a month.

|
| besides if you dont get on the scale everydaay then the times that you do you are more likely to be pleasantly surprised. I also think that looking at the scale all the time makes it feel like Im on a "diet", when really its not. I gage my success in the habits im forming. Besides everyone is on a "diet". The word by definition only means what we eat. Does that make sense.

| I hear ya! I am not sure if it is fear keeping me away from the scales or if it is that I don't want to be dependent on them for my lifestyle change, or a little bit of both. I'd rather just know my body and adjust accordingly.

|
| by the time I found sp I was very ready to make some changes. I complained the other day about being stuck at 230lbs and this morning I was 229 so go figure. Like you I try not to weigh everyday.

| Yeah, I joined on December 01/05. I didn't take it seriously though, until mid January. I really started out slowly learning about the program, and then started with tracking calories but not changing what I ate. Then, I started dabbling in the modifacations/portion control to see if I could lose weight. I promised myself to only weigh myself once a month so really March will dictate what I eat in April - as did January determine what I ate in Feb. So far I think it's working but I will know more at the end of the month. I did lose 5 pounds in Feb. That was good!

| nevermind, 12-1-05. Sometimes my mouth moves before my brain thinks.

|
|
| Hey spook, am I right in thinking that you joined 1-10-06? If so that is just 6 days before me.

| you can go back and do it when you want...I've changed mine before after the date has passed. Try that.
|
|
|
|
| When I'm on the 3-11 shift I have to remember to put in my stuff for the day before work, by the time I get home after 11 pm the day has changed over.

move to a central time zone - there's the solution.

Unfortunately there is no such option right now. It has been requested enough that some day we may see that feature. It took me a little to get used to it but now I don't even think twice.

| After 9pm Oregon time Sparkpeople changes dates. Its a hassle because often I havent finished posting food or exercise for the day. If you dont relize it then you need to remove items and re-enter your data. Is therre a setting for me to change?
