Hello fellow low-carbers......i have been living a good part of the last 3 and half months on the scale...i have convinced my self that it is necessary...ihave lost almost (within a couple of pounds) 45 big ones...and feel wonderful.. i have made pack with sam59 my soul sister to stay off it till monday morning....been three days now..and i think i may make it...i say i need the scale to see how i am doing but in fact i do fluctuate at least one to two pounds from day to day..........wish me luck.....and give me some reasons why i cant camp beside the scale.............ps am on atkins 100%

BECAUSE I SAID SO !!!!!!!!!!



XO Sam

1. Because Sam59 said so

2. Because everyone else in your household will have to scoot the the neighbour's bathroom every time they want to tinkle

3. Unless you move the fridge and stove in there with you, it's going to get pretty tough to cook your yummy LC meals

4. If you choose to move the fridge and stove in the bathroom with you remeber to keep electricity and water far apart, unless you want a new perm

5. Because curling up in the bathtub for a night's sleep is not as comfy as it looks in the movies

6. Because Sam59 said so

7. Because after 3 days of counting flowers on the wallpaper you might go a little bonkers

8. Because after 3 days of the counting flowers on the wallpaper, with absence of access to fridge, said flowers my appear as haluconogenic (SP) 3-d vegetables

9. Because the bathroom vanity does not make a comfortable computer desk. The mouse keeps falling into the sink. You can't use the closed toilet lid unless you take off the fuzzy cover.

10. Because you are strong, and have every right to be proud as a peacock for the marvelous progress you've made, and no number on the floor can influence you more than the new person developing inside you.

Congratulations on you success so far!

Great response as always Angela

I second what she said!

11. Because you don't really need the scale to tell you how you are doing. Your clothes can confirm that just fine thank you.



You are doing wonderful. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you to make it to Monday!

Just to let you know that your advice did not fall on deaf ears and besides Sam59 is holding me to my word. still have not stepped on that demon scale....and have to admit that selfworth and success is much more important than camping next to the scale. however......................ok ok ok.....ill hang in.........my word is my word......not till monday morning......

i ate the fluffy toilet seat cover...wonderful low car snack

Lots of fiber i bet!
