Excellent! Hopefully it will get easier as the days go by.
I did wake up this morning and my mind went to weighing myself. I guess thats because I normally do that after using the bathroom. Breaking the habit will be like a mental cleanse0 -
This is a great idea for people who are just starting or who are "stuck". I'm getting so close now, I think I will continue weighing.0

Tomorrow will be my challenge as I usually weigh myself on Fridays to keep myself on track on the weekend and Mondays used to be my official weigh in day.
My boyfriend has always been telling me to ignore the scale and go by how my body looks and feels, he says it always feels good to him....lol
This is really an exercise in willpower and self confidence. We need to put all of our confidence into ourselves and not let a number on the scale dictate who we are or our mood for the day.

You can do it Karen. That scale is the deliverer of emotional havoc. Too many highs and lows. BLAH to the scale!! LOL0 -
Skipped again today. So far so good. Onlly 25 more days to go.0

Sometimes those last few pounds are the hardest and the slight fluctuations can drive you crazy. So this is a good idea when you are close.0
-
I've stayed away from the scale so far...it will Sunday and Monday that are my hardest days to overcome as I usually weigh myself then. We can do it!!0

I put mine in the linen closet and took out the batteries.
I am definitely a scale *kitten*.
I think it'll be more fun to see a huge drop in weight rather than .2 or .6.
6 -12 will look awesome!0 -
I like the idea of putting it in the closet... AND with the batteries out. My scale sits right outside the shower and it's tempting to get on it right before I step into the shower. I'm going to put it in the linen closet tonight so it will beeeeee.... OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND!!!!
Stay strong everyone!!!!!0 -
Ladies we are doing such a great job! For those of you that normally weigh everyday twice a day you deserve a pat on the back. You made it 24 hours without giving in to your desire.
We are taking baby steps to a common goal!!0 -

Thats cool. You can start again today :bigsmile:
I have two appts next week but I'm going to get on the scale backwards lol My doctor and Nutritionist think I'm a silly girl already. Wait till they see that lol
I decided to do Zumba for the whole month and no other exercise to see how much I lose. I normally mix it up with the treadmill, weights and work out to dvds or the gaming system. We'll see how good I do March 1st.

Hi, Desirai! As the instigator of the other thread, I went ahead and posted telling people to come over here instead. This is a much more active group already, so I think that will work better all around.
As for anything else, howdy to you all! It's Friday, my normal weigh-in day, and I did NOT weigh. I did think about it while I was taking care of business in the bathroom this morning, though. I thought about it really hard. I even thought about jumping on there and just not admitting it to anyone. How crazy is that?! That scale still needs to be moved out of sight, and this weekend will be the time to do it.
Good luck, everyone!0 -

oh ok. Thats cool. We all have the same agenda. Relieve ourselves of the scale!!
Its just something about that bathroom isn't it.? That thought even crossed my mind thats why I put that bad boy in the trunk of my car. I'm going to forget it even exist.....well at least try my best to.0 -
Ok Ladies. Its the week-end. Are you strong enough to make it through today? Keep focus on March 1st!0
