    OK - just texted my hubby to take & hide my scale when he gets home. This will be so hard but when I changed my diet a week ago I wasn't going to weigh but I have done it every day twice a day all week. The obsession must end. I am doing this for health not numbers. I need to make the jump. Let's do it!

    Last weigh in: 142.5 lbs

    I think my scale is trying to "sweettalk" its way back into my life - I actually had a good weigh in today! Anyone else???

    Hi, scale dieters! :)

    I came across another challenge a few minutes ago that will help us stick to our resolution to not go near the scale. Go over to this other Lenten challenge and focus on some NSV's! (non-scale victories)

    Thanks everyone! It's going to be VERY difficult for me since I'm definitely addicted...could eat a half-pound brick in one sitting with absolutely no problem at all. I do think it's one of my progress blockers though! Let's see what happens! Good luck to everyone!

    Mine was awfully sweet this morning, as well... starting weight is 189.7 :happy: 190 was my goal for today, and I just barely made it by the skin of my teeth... getting here, however, was evidence enough that it is time for a scale diet--I weighed myself THREE times this morning (w/in about a 30 min time period) just to make sure it wasn't going to go any lower :blushing:

    I am actually Catholic, so my goal in this challenge is actually NOT to hide the scale--Lent is about giving up something you truly adore and/or are addicted to... for me, not seeing the scale will not be hard--it's seeing the corner peek out from under the bed and NOT getting on that will really test me! I'll also be giving-up alcohol... not a huge deal since I've all but cut-it-out, but with the combination I'm sure gonna be going crazy!!! :grumble:

    :heart: So, without further ado, HAPPY MARDI GRAS and FAT TUESDAY, Y'ALL! I'll be livin it up tonight :drinker:

    I'm in 225 as of this morning. Looking forward to a glorious Easter.

    I'm giving up being sedentatry for lent. At least 30 minutes of exercise daily.

    Are we going to check in somehow during our Lenten journey?

    Count me in. I am in a challenge at work that requires a weigh in every other week, but that will be it! I am totally addicted to my scale, checking it every time I use the bathroom at home, sometimes twice! I will stick it under the bed when I get home today.

    Starting weight: 185.2

    I told my fiance the scale needs to be hidden deep in his car trunk. That way, there is NO way I can get it! All three scales...may I add LOL

    I am in. I will be weighing in the morning of 3/8 to get my starting weight and on 3/20 because I already committed to a weigh in on that date for a challenge I am doing with the hubs. Other than that not getiting on it except to play Wii (I use my Wii balance board as my scale). Good luck everyone! :)

    I'm debating this..... hmmmmmmmm...... I think I may throw a temper tantrum if I do it, but.......

    I'll think about it. If I do - will weigh in the morning for the final time. :sad:
