So I've become obsessed with the scale...and it must end. The scale tells me I've made very little progress...my new pants tell me otherwise.

Starting today I am not going to weight myself until my birthday which is August 30th. I have a mini goal to reach 175 by then and I am not going to let the scale taunt me.

It is going to be very hard :indifferent: I don't see my results when I loose 2 or three pounds, but if I follow my nutrition plan (which I've cheated on everyday since Friday:grumble: ) and work out at least 5-7 days a week, then I should not have to step on that darn scale every morning.

Everyone is welcome to join me in this if you also have the scale addiction...:flowerforyou:

    I just posted a thread this morning begging someone to please take my scale away from me!! I'm going to try and see if I can go down to 3 weigh ins a week and then hopefully get down to one. Baby steps! LOL

    Lol I know it! I "say" I weight in Fridays, but thats not counting the million times a week none the less a day I step on it!!! So I already know I can't do once a week, so not at all will suit me, in a month and a half time I can't be disappointed with the results if I do everything I am supposed to!

    My Mini goal is 175 but if I am even 185 I would be happy :happy:

    I step on my flaky unreliable POS bathroom scale pretty regularly, but I only really trust my Wii fit, and I only do that on Friday mornings. That's where I get my weights for my MFP checkins.

    Not sure it helps much, but I think it helps a little.

    oh man, the scale thing! I've done it myself..but I made myself believe that no matter what the scale says its wrong, so I only weigh myself when I go to appointments.
    Just 1.5 weeks ago I restarted MFP and within a week (i was at the MD) I had already lost 2 lbs... its different for everyone, But I can tell myself a lie & make it stick..lmao..:noway:
