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 -
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
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 -
I'm 2 days late but I'm in!
I have upped my calories by 100 and I have been checking the scales about 3 times a day. Its getting really stressful.
I've been stuck on 7 stone ( exactly ) for over 2 weeks now so I upped my calories 5 days ago and have been super nervous about a gain.
Here we go. Honestly, bricking it! lol
Starting weight 98lbs. ( I'm 4ft 8, this is fine for me, dont worry. )

Hey, is it too late for me to get in on this?
I just moved and I don't have a scale. I've been really trying to resist buying one, but it's so tempting...0 -

Hey Ginger - it's not too late to join! The more the merrier =D0 -
That has been the only way I do it. Any more often and I get discouraged if I have not lost. I couldn't deal with the fluctuations . For me just seeing a bigger loss and dividing it out by 4 makes me much more motivated! :drinker:

Day 2 of no scale! Argh! It's driving me crazy, seeing it sitting on the bathroom floor! A few times I have caught myself about to step on it (between today & yesterday) and had to mentally smack myself, lol! :noway:0

I had my husband hide ours. Is there anyone in your home that can hide it away? That way you will not be forced to see it sitting there wanting you to step on it.0 -
I actually broke my scale a few weeks ago, before that, I stepped on it every morning, and the number I saw always influenced my mood.
Right now, it's the first time I successfully log my food everyday for more than a week, I don't know my weight, and I don't really care about what is my weight. I started measuring my waist, my neck and my hips and I really enjoy those as a progression sign!
No more scale for me for the moment!
(I must admit I'm a little scared to step on the scale for now, so maybe wait until the end of the month is a great challenge for me too!0 -
I'm in as well! Did the whole no-scale thing for a month a while back and it's really a great idea - forces you to focus on your eating and exercising vs. the number on the scale. I highly recommend it!
