    I will post my measurements tomorrow. I am soooo scared of this challenge, but I need to do it.I am a slave to the scale. I weigh myself all the time, but only record my weekly check ins (Sunday mornings). This challenge will force me to work hard to get the results I want. *Bites nails nervously*

    This one should be easy for me....simply because I don't own a set of scales. Crazy, right?!?! But, I love this idea!!


    CW- 170
    Bust-38
    Waist-34
    Hip-40
    Thigh-22
    Arm-13


    Lets go girls!!!!
  • This will be the scariest challenge to date. I have NEVER been without my trusty scale and the hold it has on me weighs me down (no pun intended :bigsmile: ). I need this though. I am excited to focus on body changes rather than what my current gravitational pull is at the very moment I weigh :smile:

    Pumped for the challenge...and a tad nervous on how to handle the scale-withdrawls :noway:

    I feel very uncomfortable posting any measurements, but I like the idea of no scale for a month. Is it still ok if I join?

    This also scares me but like others I'm addicted to the scale and need to learn I can control myself without them. And I was already planning on doing 30ds - started yesterday so it all seems to fit.

    No problem at all! Welcome!

    It came!! My video came in the mail today....starting 30DS tomorrow. I am also giving the scales to my 9 year old son to hide from me, because I know I would cheat otherwise. He being a typical boy will not give it to me if I ask for it either so this works well for me. It seems crazy to be so nervous about this but I am. :blushing: :sick: :embarassed:

    This is a great idea. I often get too hung up with how much I weigh while not appreciating inches lost. This will be a great challenge. I'll post my starting numbers tomorrow!

    30day shred Jillian michaels work out program. I am on level 3 of it day 2 tomorrow
    What is 30DS?
  • This is exactly what I needed right now. I have been working pretty hard and not seeing much difference on the scale. This will help motivate me to kick the scale to the curb for the month. I will post my measurments this evening or tomorrow.

    Ok - so here are my starting measurements:

    Weight - 148
    Waist - 31.5
    Bust - 36
    Hips - 38
    Arms - 12
    Thighs - 24

    I'm sending my scales to my boyfriend's today so I can't cheat. I really want to focus on eating right and exercise rather than the number on the scales!

    I am ready! I am doing this because the scale runs my life still!! I am at my goal weight and I am still freaking out when it goes up a pound! I will also be starting 30DS!! yay!

    CW-134
    Bust-34
    waist-29
    hips-35.5
    thigh-21
    arm-10

    Let's do it!!!!!!!
  • CW: 287.6
    Neck: 16.5
    Chest: 42.5
    Waist: 41.75
    Hips: 52.25
    Thigh: 30
    Calf: 19.5

    I don't measure my arms. Too inaccurate. I hate these numbers, but that's even more motivation. I am starting calisthenics three days a week in addition to my cardio and doing a squat challenge for 30 days. Big month! Hoping for tiny numbers. :laugh:

    My scale is in the closet. I might add my measurements later or I might not bother.
