Losing Weight The Hard Way - Weigh-In #63
This week’s weigh-in is a check-in 
I’m currently in Seattle on business and staying with my mom. I’ve been seeing old friends and going out nearly every night and am feeling the repercussions of that in my body - sluggishness, feeling heavy, dead,etc..
I’ve eaten 100% raw today and feel much better already. *sigh*
Thank you for all of your support!

i respect you for …
i respect you for not weighing in so much
i used to be obsessed with the number on the scale and that destroys you
i would weigh myself in maybe 20 times or more a day and if the number was bad i let that dictate my self respect
your doing great going raw, so dont beat yourself up about not eating the greatest stuff, especially when your traveling
you can do it shanti!
p.s. youve really inspired me to lose weight
THANKYOU :]

I think a lot of …
I think a lot of people are worried you’ll fail, because they don’t understand that you wont fail because you’ve made real life changes..not just been on a diet. Once changes are permanent, you should be fine, because you no longer eat the garbage that got you fat to start with LOL You’re more aware of and careful about what you put in your body. I’m sure you’ll be fine without the constant hassle of the scale..I haven’t been on one since May, and I know I’m still losing :O)

So i am curious are you still weighing in but just not posting. If that is the case thats cool. Totaly understandable. your look great. Also when i go out to eat i do the veggie burger with avocado instead of cheese and get the salad instead of the fries.. or get whatever you want of course.. but those are som easy soultions. You look great cheers.

You know what is …
You know what is good for you & what will yield success for you. Your success thus far dictates that. The fact that you feel relief confirms you made a good choice. If your weigh in doesn’t turnout how you had hoped I am sure you will reassess & modify. You did just that before. I think it is refreshing that you pave your own path & aren’t scared of change. It is part of what I would like to do for myself. That’s part of what gives others courage to do the same, at least that is true for me.

I have been …
I have been addicted to your videos for the last couple of weeks & I finally have watched all of them! WOW, you have motivated me to start my own weight loss youtube site! My husband and I are spending this Labor Day Weekend documenting how we eat and spend our time, not caring about being healthy. But come Tuesday, it’s a whole new way of thinking & living. As you suggested, we will start with small changes. Thanks for all the tips & we hope to be as successful as you have been! Thank you!

I thought it was …
I thought it was really odd that you recieved so many messages repremanding you for not weighing in weekly.. I feel like you have come far enough and made enough positive changes that you SHOULD be able to stop doing weekly weigh ins… You’re not gonna wanna weigh in every week for the rest of your life,are u? LOL
I would hope we are all striving for the day we no longer have to step on the scale to judge our progress or self worth.
all i can say is -GO U!

Get a colonic or do an enema, that will get that junk out of your system.

Shanti, I …
Shanti, I absolutely agree with you about weighing in once a month, rather than once a week! There are so many biological reasons why you could gain on a week where your eating was impeccable and your exercise was in check. The monthly weigh in will just demonstrate a steady decrease on the scale, and I know that’s what you’re going for. I don’t comment all that often, but I always watch your videos and take something from each and every one of them. I respect you very much

Oh my goodness. I …
Oh my goodness. I totally support your less weighing. I imagine it’s such a mind-clarifying tool, especially since you are really in tune with the changes in your body!
Shanti, shanti, shanti. I completely admire your dedication and self-awareness you show in every single endeavor.

That’s a good idea, it introduces accountability at least. But also might make you feel too pressured. Hmmmmmm…

About weekly weigh …
About weekly weigh ins: you started the game, you defined the rules and then chose to change them. So what…

Dont even worry …
Dont even worry about the comments and weighing in every week. Since youve reached your first goal its good to lay back for a bit and work on trying to maintain it. To see if you can keep up your weight loss throughout the variables of life (vacations, not having a gym etc) and without counting every single calorie. Most people at a healthy weight dont weigh in every week, they make healthy choices and work out regularly. Once every few weeks is all you need to stay on track. Good luck!

I notice it in …
I notice it in myself so easy. Not when I used to eat crap all the time, but now when I don’t eat bread or pasta and high carb stuff like that. Once in a while (like two days ago) I eat a large pizza with fries, yes you read that correctly, and my face feels all swollen up and feels saggy. I hate it, its like proof you didn’t eat well and it can last for days.

actually i think there’s more to it then just carbs. i think it has to do with processed foods and fried foods, basically anything processed and crap.
