Jumping onto the scales daily has started to become an unhealthy habit, so for the month of August I have decided that I am going to lock them up and just focus on healthy eating and exercise.

Anyone with me???

    I think that is an awesome idea!!!!!!!!! It's so hard for me to just go 3 days without checking the scale.

    Count me in!
    I guess it's much more satisfying to work hard for a month and notice the change all at once rather than little by little each day :)

    My name is TiraG and I'm a scaleaholic too. It's been 30 min since I last stepped on the scale. :noway: .
    I wish I could do this with you but I'm in a Biggest Loser Competition on here and I have to weigh in weekly. I will commit to only weighing in once a week, and when the competition ends or if I get eliminated, I will give it up for a month.

    Good luck everyone!

    I think this is a great idea. Unfortunately I'm too weak to do it and would probably unlock the scale after a week LMAO. I'm definitely a scaleaholic but I don't get as stressed about it anymore because I also take measurements and as long as the measurements are going down then it's all good. I am guilty of weighing myself every morning but I only count one weekly weigh in officially which is Sundays.

    I definitely wish you all luck in August!

    I think I'll have to agree with this idea - My name is Licia Harry, and I'm a scaleaholic.

    :) See you in September!

    i only step on the scale once a month to record my progress and no matter what is shows it does not strike a cord in me because i already know im a success just for keeping up wth my workouts and nutrition for another month.

    so for all of you scaleaholics i am living proof that you can step on the scale once a month and still see results as long as you continue with a healthy lifestyle with a comitment to excercise and fitness it can be done.

    I weigh everyday too and it is starting to be a habit. I get stressed see my weight everyday cause it change's so much daily. I only record my weight on saturday morning for my official weight for the week. I dont think I could wait a whole month but I might just try this.

    I agree with you here - don't get stressed and only record once a week. But you are all great to give this is a go - hope you keep us posted on how it's going. :)

    I am commiitting to weighing only on Thursdays (as this is my day off uni during the week)
    I've only stepped on them once since my weigh in on Thursday so I don't think I count as a scaleholic, but I'll be here to support all you peeps that are :D
