Thanks to OldMom for pointing me in the right direction - I had thought the fitness minutes are grossly overestimated!

The stability ball is definitely a workout - so much better than a regular chair.

Linda, you are truly awesome and inspiring!! On WATP Leslie says that for every hour of exercise you get two more hours in longer life. Think what you have given yourself. Just amazing!

Linda, you've done great with fitness minutes! If you're lacking motivation (which is something I am going through too), I would suggest making an appointment with someone and going to the gym and walking on a treadmill or indoor track for 30 minutes. I did that yesterday when all I wanted to do was go home and sleep. I spread the spark because I got to tell my friend about SparkPeople! I will more likely stand myself up for an exercise appointment but will do whatever it takes to make it for an appointment with someone else! Good luck, and *huggggs*!! Listen to your body. If you think you'll feel worse after exercising, maybe just take it easy today and have a plan in action for tomorrow. No one is perfect all the time, every day. We love you!

I try to count all the minutes I can that don't fall into normal everyday living. So I count all the minutes I worked on the shower as it was hard and I was sweating, I know I got a good workout. But doing the dishes and such I don't count. Good for you for using a ball to sit on. Report Inappropriate Comment |

You are so funny Linda. Tenths of a pound. For someone as small as you. Belssing on you my friend for being such an inspiration to us all. Hugs, Marty Report Inappropriate Comment |

OLDMOM3 often points me in the right direction when she shares her experiences and thoughts! Typing must use up some calories - but you can't be in perpetual motion anyway. All your activity has certainly paid off, so well done you! Report Inappropriate Comment |

Someone convinced me of the importance of fitness minutes. Many times I don't get around to logging them in, but I know they count toward my health just the same, and leads to more of those tenths disappearing on the digital scale. I do like earning the points though to have $ to give goodies to people. Report Inappropriate Comment |
Today when I got on the scale - I weigh every day, it's something I need to do to hold myself accountable - I realized that every pound feels like 10! I no longer think of one pound at a time but in terms of tenths of a pound!
So every "pound" has 10 pounds within it!!
This I think is going to be a great thing because I believe it is the reason I freak at 123!
An AHA! moment!!
Thank you whoever you are that invented the digital scale!

I made myself go a week without stepping on the scales. It was hard! I'm up half a pound. I'm going to try every other day this week. ~Nancy Report Inappropriate Comment |

Yeah, I weigh myself every day too. Helps keep me focussed on making good choices through the day. Have an old rotary scale which is fine for right now.

I weigh everyday too but only use one day as the offical weight. I'd be jazzed at being 123. Congrats!!

I quite like my prehistoric scales that only have pound markers especially when I weigh myself without my glasses so I can't quite see what's going on but get the general impression! Funny how our perceptions change though isn't it? Report Inappropriate Comment |

I love my digital scale. One tenth down is a real win.

I wouldn't give up my digital scale for anything! It is accurate and I can't argue with it. I weigh only once a week and it sure tells me if I have "gone astray from the Spark way"! Hey, that rhymes LOL!
