I don't know about you but if I gain .5 but lose 3 inches I somehow become delusional and get down on myself. I feel free when I don't weigh. I trust what I am doing will work and lead me to my healthy goals. Feel free to join me and keep up on your progress here. Next weigh in....Nov 1st :)

    Weighing once a month has been the most liberating thing for my weight loss. I always stay within calories, if not for the day, certainly for the week and I, too, trust that I'm doing the right thing, so I've stopped worrying about the weight. I'm not going to lie, I've been at a major plateau since June even though I still have 65 lbs to get to goal. But I'm in this for the long term/life so it is what it is and I'm finished obsessing about the scale.:smile:

    I "obsess" over the scale like crazy and I love it. All that data to make adjustments and find trends makes me really happy.

    Not detracting from what you want to do... just providing a different perspective. Weighing often isn't bad for everyone.

    enjoy your october!

    This is a really cool idea! I think I might join you! I need a new scale anyway (mine's inaccurate), so hey; I might even get rid of it all together until the end of the month! Good luck to you! :)

    Not obsessed by the scales is my mantra! But when I don't weigh I gain so I know my routine x

    I haven't lost much weight, but I can feel both my stomach and thigh muscles getting stronger and I'm not so flabby. So after a while I gave up the scale daily, or even twice a day. And started the once a month.

    I figure eh, it's only a month. If I don't like it, I can always weigh in November . My husband hates hearing " I gained .02!!!!!" And with fluctuations it's so dumb to get down about it but for some reason I just cant help it :(

    I weigh every day, but the fluctuations don't bother me since I expect them. I just look for an overall downward trend. Good luck with October!

    I am going to do it. It's weird, if I'm down in weight I somehow think is okay to go off my eating plan.... Can't do that anymore. Fellow participants, add me for support!!!

    I have the same goal for October. Since I am only trying to lose 9 pounds they are the hardest. I will weigh in November 1st I hate the scale and it can honestly ruin my entire day if it doesn't show a number I like.

    Wow, u are very brave! I would like to try once a week before I go for once a month ;) Have to hit my 15-20 lbs weight loss goal by the end of the year so need to make sure i'm losing atleast a pound a week. Right now I check a couple times a week, if not every day. Want to be able to get to once a week soon, but good luck to you! :)
