I know, you all think I am crazy for thinking there is anything wrong with losing weight. Hear me out. As I have been working out it has been great to see the inches come off. I have not been able to see the pounds come off, but I know I am getting slimmer. I look a lot better, and I fit into my clothes a lot better. However, as I continue to lose weight I will continue eventually not fit into any of my clothes. A lot of the pants I was wearing a couple of months ago already are too big to wear. This is a good problem to have, but it means I have to go buy some new clothes. So, the only problem with losing weight is the fact that I have to go shopping for new clothes.

This may not be too big of a problem, as it is time I fix my wardrobe anyway. I am not into fashion, my wife does all of my clothes shopping. I usually tell her to buy basic clothes that do not draw attention to myself. Now that I am losing the weight I am willing to try new clothes that look great. She recently bought some jeans for me from Lucky Brand Jeans and I love them. They are a little flashier than some of my other jeans, but I like them a lot more. I wanted to pass some good information along to all of you as well, today only you can receive FREE SHIPPING on your order of Lucky Brand Jeans. They have a lot of their jeans on sale for up to 30% off, so don’t miss out on this great deal. Buy some new jeans that will replace the old baggy jeans you will have as you continue to lose weight.

There are so many different diet pills and diet supplements that it can be hard to decide which ones are good and which ones won’t do a thing for you. I have not taken any diet pills and I am not sure if I will. I am sure they work for some people, but I would rather try and work off my excess weight through working out and eating right. The thing I worry about with Diet pills is that they are a temporary fix, to really solve the problem you need to change your lifestyle.

I am not saying that diet pills are not good for you, but I would rather change the way I live first. If that does not work than I may try a diet pill. Have any of you used diet pills? I am not talking about vitamin pills and nutrient pills and stuff like that, I am talking more about the “expanding” pills that make you eat less.

The one pill that is the latest craze is Alli, I am going to look into Alli a little more and I will let you know what I find.

Our scale broke last week (insert fat joke here), and I need to replace it. I am not sure what happened to it, I just replaced the batteries and it was working fine. It is an older scale so I have been wanting a new one anyway. I found a couple of scales that I like, but there are so many features that I am not sure which one I should choose. The scale I had was very basic and didn’t measure anything, but weight.

Here are a few scales that I am considering:

Superior Talking Scale Superior Talking Scale

You’ll have to hear this to believe it!


The European Physician's Large Platform Scale. The European Physician’s Large Platform Scale.

With an extra-wide 12″ platform with textured dimpled foot pads for sure footing, this scale is designed by a 60 year-old award-winning company from France and is the same one preferred by medical professionals in Europe. The easy-to-read 8″-diam. dial is easy to view and displays weight in pounds and kilograms. The scale’s brushed all-metal body and heavy-duty spring components support 400 lbs. 19 1/2″ L x 12 1/4″ W x 5 1/4″ H. (15 lbs.)


The Digital Weight And Body Composition Scale. The Digital Weight And Body Composition Scale.

This is the digital scale that supports your health and fitness regimen by quickly and accurately measuring key body composition data in addition to precise weight readings. Unlike other measuring methods that require expensive, specialized equipment or submersion in water, the scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) (a harmless electrical impulse) to calculate body fat percentage, muscle mass, and body water within seconds after you step on the 12 3/4 x 13 3/4″ glass platform. Three modes (normal, child, and athlete) let you adjust the scale’s sensitivity for greatest accuracy, and it estimates the daily caloric intake needed to maintain your current body composition. The scale can store data for up to 10 individuals, making it easy to track the entire family’s progress. The 2″ high LCD panel features a dual-line readout that displays weight and body composition results simultaneously in bright 3/4″ high numerals. The scale has a 400 lb. (180 kg) capacity and displays weights in 1/4-lb. (0.1 kg) increments. Four AAA batteries (included) provide convenient cordless operation. 14 1/2″ W x 13 3/4″ L x 3″ D. (4 lbs.)



I may get crazy and get one of these cool scales:

The Best Physician's Beam Scale. The Best Physician’s Beam Scale.

This beam scale proved to be the best in tests by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it is consistently the most accurate. An independent industrial weighing systems company was commissioned to calibrate the scales prior to testing and this beam scale was the most precise, only deviating from the actual weight by 0.35% on average, unlike lesser models with inaccuracy rates up to 1.2% (2 lbs. for a 180-lb. person). Scoring highest for consistency, the scale was the only one that recorded three spot-on measurements of seven different weights, while the unit that placed second failed to record even one exact measurement. The scale has a 500-lb. capacity and measures in 1/4-lb. increments, the poise bar rotates to show measurements in Imperial or metric, a 24″ to 84″ height rod slides out of the unit to allow simultaneous height and weight measurements, and the engraved markings are easy to read. The scale is made from heavy-duty steel and assembles in 10 minutes. 57 1/4″ H x 10 2/3″ W x 20 1/2″ L (39 lbs.)



I will keep you posted on what scale I choose and how it works for me, until I get this scale I will be weighing in at the gym. I will try to weigh in soon and post the results. I did weigh in on Monday, before the scale broke, and I was at 232. I have lost 3 pounds so far! I am feeling better and I feel like I have more energy as I work out more and eat better.
