I was at my darkest point, the lowest of low and then suddenly out of nowhere, a light began to emerge. Yanking out the final piece of laundry and a long missing shoe, I could now clearly see under the bed, all the way to the other side! Mission accomplished. And if the truth were known, it was the first mission I’d undertaken, let alone accomplished in about 18 months. I certainly didn’t set out to clean under the bed and if I still had a cleaning lady, she’d be so fired. I couldn’t believe what was under that bed. For crying out loud, did you really think that I’d believe all that crap had accumulated in a mere 18 months? I think not. Anyhow, back to how I got into that position in the first place. I thought I’d try to do a few sit ups, nothing strenuous, just a few ab crunches, you know strengthen the “old core.” But once I got down there I got distracted when I found a library book that I’d been searching for since last Christmas. Yeah, the book that made them revoke my card. My last plastic card, which I may add, had no limit and that I thought they couldn’t take away, was revoked. Crap. Ah, such is the life of the underemployed. They may take my plastic, but they will never take away my dignity! [  Read full article here ]

There is a scale out there for everyone. At DietsInReview.com, we thought we had seen it all, with scales that upload your weight online, to even a chair that doubles as a scale. Turns out we haven’t seen it all. The Quantam Scale, which was featured on The Tyra Banks Show and The Bonnie Hunt Show, does not show you your weight. Yes, you read that correctly; it will never show you your actual weight.

When stepping on the scale, it will simply show you how much you have lost or gained, but not those three dreaded numbers.

To start, the scale secretly records your weight on the first use. Each time the scale is used from that point forward it will only show you the amount lost or gained. This will help those who struggle with seeing their actual weight each time they step on the scale and focus more on the positive feelings they will have when the weight loss is shown.

As with all reviews on scales, I have to reiterate that a scale should not be your sole means for tracking your successes on your way to health and well-being. But these tools can certainly help. [ Read this article from the source ]

Quantum Scale Only Displays Your Weight Loss

You’ve decided to actively work on achieving your weight loss goals, but you’re dreading stepping on the scale to see just how much damage has been done in the months that you’ve been AWOL from your weight loss program. Why does it seem emotionally traumatic to come face to face with seeing that number on the scale? Having to see that number that you don’t like on the scale – whether it’s 150 or 350 pounds – is so scary that it stops people from ever beginning their weight loss journey in the first place.

The Psychology of Weight Loss and Scales

The Quantum Scale is being touted as the dieter’s dream – step on the scale after beginning a weight loss program and it only displays your progress. And the premise is an interesting one. Advertisements claim that health and wellness experts support the view that maintaining a positive outlook is important in not only losing weight, but developing a consistent focus on weight loss (or even maintaining weight loss). The idea is to remove the negative psychological stimulus (i.e., the current number on the scale that you don’t like!) to replace it with feedback on how much you have accomplished on your weight loss journey. The difference is akin to focusing on how far you’ve come compared to how far you still have to go to reach your ideal weight. [Read full article here]
