When Im grappling with temptations, I open the app and admire the predictions section. Based on what is happening, I can predict when Ill hit my next ten pound group. Hitting 150 is swell, but with Happy Scale, I can input 149.99 which tells me when I will hit the 140s". Now seeing that is exciting beyond all!
Ive asked the good folks at Happy Scale to allow users to input two more of our personal preferred weights. If I could also see when Ill hit the 130s, and the 120s, Ive got something even more motivational going for me. Seeing numbers like those with the dates by which Ill arrive there makes getting there all the more exciting not to mention it makes temptation all the more resistable! Not entirely, but enough to continue a calculable rate of decline in weight, which is the point.
I havent been excited about the weight loss process in two decades. Happy Scale has made the process thrilling and exciting!
July update: Ive logged enough daily weights to establish a true pattern of weight loss. I changed my "Commitment" Rate to my actual "Overall" Rate. I can finally breathe! What good is setting a commitment that you cant meet and giving up on yourself in disgust? What good is feeling deprived only to have the weight pile back on within a week of giving in to the thinking, "I just want to eat and drink normal again!"? It doesnt have to be that way if you find a way that you CAN live with and STILL lose weight. My commitment rate was 1.2, figuring that would be more realistic than going for the max 1.5 rate for fat loss. My actual Overall Rate was .36. I changed my commitment to what I was actually accomplishing and suddenly Im happy AND more committed again. Better yet, my Overall Rate has continued to climb. Im now at .38. Even better yet, my current rate has climbed to .98 - now THAT is encouraging!
So I wont lose as fast. At 62, time flies. It will be this time next year before I know it. But now, with Happy Scale, Ill also weigh less this time next year, and the year after, and the year after, and Ill have enjoyed the weight loss journey!
