The No Scale Challenge

So, I'm addicted to weighing myself. I recently changed my diet and decided that I WILL NOT weigh myself for one month. My goodness I was going through withdraw, but I'm on week 2! For me looking at the scale has been a rollercoaster ride - way too many ups and downs. The scale just represents a number - if you feel good and look good then what the hay! Whose in it with me!!!!

@brendalea74 - Yes, it will be! The first week was the hardest - I feel like I see scales everywhere0 -
I gotta do something to shake myself up. Going from daily to a month would keep me honest, I think. Worth a try. I'm in.0
-
Count me in! lol
This makes me nervous.
I feel like I should change my eating plan. Are you still eating clean?0 -
Sounds good count me in!0
-
I'll send you guys a reminder before we start :-D0
-
well i also just remembered that i am in the biggest loser thingy challenge on here and we weigh in once a week. so either way. i probably couldnt do it anyways. because im currently addicted to my scale. maybe in a few months.0
-
Count me in!! I'm rearranging things in September, so I NEED to stay away from the scale lol0
-
At of All the Challenges I've seen... This Looks to Be the Hardest for Me!
I'm in! Holy Cow, can I do it?!0 -
I am totally in!! Ill weigh myself the 31st and take measurements and then hide the scale from myself. I am definitely becoming too addicting to weighing myself. It'll kick my butt back into working out again.
Wow, I really hope I can do it!0 -
Today is the day everyone. Weigh yourself one last time and kiss your scale good bye!
Current weight: 164
Diet: Clean Eating
Workout: 5 to 6 times a day, boxing, suspension training, ripped, personal training, Pilates and yoga.
Check in as often as you need to! I'll be around to over motivation ????0 -
Since I don't own a scale, this should be pretty easy.0
-
I want to do this, I weigh myself every single day, sometimes twice a day, I drive myself crazy with it. I have already had breakfast this morning but I did record my weight and measurements yesterday (end of the month) so I will use that as my starting weight.
Current weight 177.4
chest 38
waist 30.5
hips 41.5
thighs 25
Although I do not believe these to be accurate figures I do use them as a basis for comparison, these are figures that my scale measures:
Bodyfat 24%
Water 49.3%
Muscle 34.7%
Bone 4.2%
Now to give my husband the scale to hide from me. :bigsmile:0 -
In for this one, as I was already thinking about it for the last few days. I am super addicted to hopping on the scale EVERY morning after I wake up, and then several times per day. I should note that I have had a 3 day streak of not eating well (oops..) but, life goes on!
weight: 147.4 (:blushing:) (as noted above, this is after a 3 day 'binge' i was at 141 on wed/thurs)
diet: staying under set calories(!) for at least a four week streak (set @ 2600(maintenance: 2691 according to scoobysworkshop.com))
workout: currently following Stronglifts
I am currently 'maintaining' ,or trying to anyways. I do well for a bit, then I have some rough days, and so on. I raised my calorie level hoping I could keep my intake steady, and combine it with heavy lifting and see how I come out. I am not really *too* worried about losing pounds, just some inches pretty much. I want to combine this no scale challenge with the staying under my allotment goal, then evaluate myself. We shall see.
Good luck to all of us in this!0 -
im doing the same i start aug.25th so i cant weigh in until sept.25th.i kinda cheated on friday but im not anymore until then.i hope this works for u and all of us.0
-
Oh yes I am in! I will not weigh myself until Oct 1st. I will have to take that pretty glass scale away from my bathroom because I will be tempted I know!!!0
-
I'm in. I will be doing HIIT for an hour a day, 6 days a week. I'll add in some heavy lifting a few days per week as well. For my diet I will focus on not exceeding my calorie goal, and I am doing IF 14/10 (14 hours fasting).
I weigh 211.0 -
This should be a group!
Current weight: 162
Diet: TDEE minus almost 15%.. focusing on protein
Workout: Taekwondo 3 days a week, stronglifts 3 days a week, and every other week, I'll be taking an extra TKD class0 -

Ok I'm in! This is going to be terribly difficult as I too am a serial weigher! Good luck everyone.
Current weight 73kg0 -
Ok, there is a very real possibility that I will not succeed at this; however, I'm in! I need this! I need to stop weighing myself...Let's do this:drinker:0
-
I've done this for the past 3 weeks and tomorrow ill be my first weigh in! The scale had become discouraging...it sucks when you work hard and the scale says you gained. Although it's not fat and probably water weight or some muscle, it is still disappointing. After tomorrow I'll probably go on another 3 week no scale challenge0

Am I too late? I just started Les Mills Combat last week. I'll be continuing my weight training when ever I'm able. I want to maintain my weight +/- 2 or 3 lbs either way but would love to see the bf% go down a teeny bit more.
Weight: 117.2 lbs
Chest: 33"
Waist (I measure just bellow my belly button b/c that's where I want to see a change): 32"
Hips/butt: 35"
Thighs: 22.5"
BF: 19%0 -
I'm in. I weigh myself WAY too much. If i gain 1/2 a pound i try to figure out why. I ate a hot dog the other day along with some other high sodium foods....I gained 3 pounds on water weight overnight. Seeing that number on the scale just made me depressed. I weighed myself this morning and I'm going to take the battery out of my scale and give it to my hubby to hide and ask him to give it back to me on October 1st. That way NO cheating!!!0
-
I'm in! Sounds exciting!0
-
Yay!! Im so happy everyone is joining the challenge. It was so hard the first week (very similar to a food addiction) it seemed like a scale was everywhere. Stay strong everyone an come back to give me an update. I'll try and post some no scale motivation everyday.
Ebonie
P.S. Stay strong????????0 -
I'm pretty excited for this actually! I mean, I'm hoping I'll see progress by the end of the month and that way I won't be constantly worrying myself about what the scale is going to say! Good luck everyone
Starting Weight:186
Plans: Eat cleaner and hit the gym at least 3x a week0 -

The scale is your ENEMY!!!! I work with a girl who's 200lbs and is in a size 10 and is only 5'8"...Yet I've seen a girl who is about 5'9" and around 150 and can barely get into a 16...both best friends of mine...it's weird, can't really explain it!
*Rules*
NO SCALE CHECKS! NO CHEATING lol!
Ends on October 1, 2013 you will finally weigh in! YAY :-D0
