Dear Group: It has been wonderful to read your introductory posts. I wish everyone would participate as that will make it easier for us to get to know you. The second post should contain a list of ten negative emotions that you're dumping into the bin. Also, here's another idea for post number three:
After speaking with someone about their scales, I felt that we have to become friends with him/her/it. I have an anthropormorphic relationship with most of the objects that I deal with so I give them names. I asked this person to give her scale a name and she did. I had to laugh because it's so perfect:
Oh! Mariana! I named my scales Matilda! (Cause she's made me cry and cry in vain....ya know the rest I'm sure! ha ha ha) Krissy is ready for a brand new year W., Jan 22, 2009, 10:46pm EST
I named my own scale Irma after the Queen of Rhythm and Blues down in New Orleans, Irma Thomas, and believe me, she can belt out the blues! Most of us have a scale that we step on now and then. Let's establish a good relationship with our scales by naming them. You never know, they may keep us smiling!
What is the name of your scale and why did you name it that? Thanks for participating folks and for supporting all the others. A compliment a day keeps the blues away! Keep smiling. Salud

Ok I admit I dont have a scale. My bad. But I am going to name mine Bunny.
You know, I really do feel pretty from the inside out. I have an awesome heart and so much to offer the world, so much love to give. It took me so many years to learn that about myself. I wish everyone could learn to see themselves as they feel instead of what that lying mirror says. They'd be amazed how it would change their worlds.
It's funny that you use the word "Goddess"! I've always said that when I have grandbabies someday, that that's what they're going to call me!
Mariana-I just stepped off of my scales and the first word that came to mind was b****. I had that moment of "How can this be? I've only lost 1/2 a pound since Monday, and I've had gallons of water, eaten healthy and been on the treadmill for 20 minutes-TWICE!"
So, I took a deep breath and thought about the fact that I'm proud of myself for getting back into an exercise routine, and I needed that water to feel better. I thought about how inspired I feel by the stories of those here who are willing to take action that will possibly save their lives. I have decided to call my scales Moot (which means: of no practical importance; irrelevant).
I'm just teasing. I don't know where my scales are. I will have to dig them out.
I don't belong to the group though I wanted to drop by and leave a TEN for your spirit adn dedication.
Monica - I was thinking about you - well, we are only shooting for ten but we'd love to have you as you my friend are a motivator for sure!
Susan, lol - girl, I had one like that - I loved her...
Monica - oh I love that - Devil box - nooo, we're going to turn that around

It's hard to lose ten pounds - it's hard to lose one pound but you are learning to appreciate good health!
That's what counts - and remember we are just now getting started - so hang in there - look at yourself in the mirror - say hello Goddess - lets have fun today! Ok well, I need coffee before I put my brain in gear. More later. Salud
Her name is Maddie because it means strength in battle. Losing weight is a battle in itself but with strength, I can win this battle!
