in Health and Weight Loss
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!!!!

Challenge starts on September 1, 2013

Note your current weight
Your exercise and eating game plan

*Rules*

NO SCALE CHECKS! NO CHEATING lol!

Ends on October 1, 2013 you will finally weigh in! YAY :-D

    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.

    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!

    Since I don't own a scale, this should be pretty easy.

    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:

    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!
