    Hey Emma - I'm going to do this too. This will be wicked hard for me - I weigh myself several times a day, but I"ve been in a plateau and lately i'm getting really discouraged at what I"m seeing on the scale. So I think I can step away - with this support!

    I'm not religious either, but Lenten is a pretty sweet word :laugh:

    I'm in!!! I'm doing the Beach Ready Challenge, but I would love to just focus on making good decisions and not worrying about that darn number on the scale!! Great idea! Thanks so much!!!

    I'm doing this too. I'm starting tomorrow though because my usual weigh-day is Friday. I'm weighing in tomorrow morning then I'm done till Easter. And I'm going to hoard a bunch of Cadbury Creme Eggs between now and then to celebrate my huge loss on Easter morning! OK, no I won't, but I should...I love those things and they're only around for a limited time!

    I always hated those things... dont know why. Ummm I dont know if I would "hoard" them ... but if you wanna save a few in a special spot for a holiday treat I think that would be perfectly fine!

    So glad to all of my friends who have joined... and super glad for all of the newbies! We are going to have such a happy Easter!!

    I've been trying like the ****ens to figure out what I was going to give up for Lent. I think this is a WONDERFUL idea! I have a tendency to weigh 2-3 times per week, and only record the loss on Fridays... but this sounds like a terrific idea! I'm IN!

    Ok I have to laugh .... MFP does allow you to say ****ens... haha haha haha!
    Welcome to the group...

    FZy: Those poor lil chickens... I hate those things... have you ever put them in the microwave... its a fun sight!

    Now you know I am gonna have to buy some just to find out what happens to them. Personally I have no problem eating them. Never did like them.......now the chocolate rabbit...there's a tough one for me! LOL

    I am SOOO on this, guys! I just started a thread, and I will join this instead. 40 days and I get a "final" weight in so I can get one more looksie in - cool! Are we going to keep track of eachother on here??? I hope so.

    ARchyJill - I surely don't mean any disrespect, here, but if you continue to weigh yourself on Monday's then you really aren't participating. Why not just give it up for 40 days? (I don't know your history, maybe you belong to a real life weight loss group where weigh ins are required or something? Perhaps you could ask them to make it "secret" to you until the 40 days is up?)

    I think I will give it a great big GO! I never thought I could be addicted to anything that I don't put in my mouth but that darn scale! I weigh myself daily. Sometimes twice! I am horrible! NO MORE!

    I think it's a great idea to post how we're doing on here. I actually am at 14 days without my scale (I started the Lenten scale diet a little earlier than everyone). We could post here how we're feeling without the scale, how are clothes are fitting since we can't weigh ourselves and how/if our measurements are shrinking if you choose to measure.

    I agree completely... I was planning on posting a new topic when we start the "diet"

    Daily --- haha I currently weigh 3 times per day every single day. I will be literally shaking the first couple of days I am sure...

    I'm in! I don't own a scale yet, but I am going to the doctor on March 10th. I'll record the weight I get there, and then I will vow not to buy a scale until after Easter.

    Yay I'm excited.
