Has everyone made it past Day 1?

So I'm on Day 2 and it felt better already not jumping on the scales this morning, and I'm also on Day 2 of my 3 day Cleanse and Detox, which is so far so good! My mind is wandering to them more often than I'd care to admit but I'm determined they won't beat me today ;)

How did everyone else go today?

  • Keep it up Mickey!! I am on Day 56 of no scales! I am at times really tempted, but I want to try a full 3 months of this without checking that number! Adding weights to my cardio workout this week...starting tomorrow I will be doing my stair climbing wearing 2# ankle weights. I am just hoping I can do it!

    Today was my Day 1 of no scales. And it was actually kind of relieving since yesterday I ate more than I intended at a family party and so the scale probably would've gone up.

    I'm also on Day 8 of consecutively tracking the cardio/exercises I do and liquid consumed in my journal. I'm still pretty weak since I've been so inactive for so long, but my endurance is increasing which is pretty exciting.

    I am on day 2 and I didn't jump on the scale. Do you guys know how hard it is to walk pass that scale.

    :sad:
  • Yep...we know!! Use your energy level and your "inner" sense of health be your encouragement!! Focus on "how do I feel?"!! You CAN do it!!

    Yes!! I'm half asleep and about to step on it and then I'm like "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" and run away.

    Not sure I'm going to make it but hoping for the best. I do feel "thinner" which is temping me even MORE to check, but holding fast.

    Yep i feel the same! Made it through Day 3 today, but all day my head was saying "you must have lost weight by now" LOL and then talking myself out of weighing by telling myself um it's only been 3 days! :/ Funny how the mind works when it's attached to something.

    And yes we can make it! It is getting easier each day and we're all strong enough to get past it :)

    unfortunately I am still in a biggest loser competition so I have to weigh every monday. I think next week is the last week though but I don't plan on looking at the scales in between and then after the final weigh in, I won't look anymore!

    It's definitely been on my mind, but I know I'll be happy when I step on the scale and have lost more than a pound lol I'm excited to see what it says! I'm really relieved and my mind is at ease, though.

    I caved!! I started really journaling my food and hitting the exercise this week. I just needed that confidence booster to get me through the weekend...

    The past few days have been tougher to stay away from the scale, but I'm determined to wait until March 25th to check. It's so tempting to check since I've been eating right and exercising steadily, but it should be worth the wait.

    I'm on Day 6 and I really feel relieved. I'm tempted, but it's not that hard to resist so far. Keep going!

    Hey guys! I am on day 6!

    It is such a relief to not have to check the scale this last weigh in (Friday), but also I feel scared that the numbers will go up when I hit 30 days.

    I have decided to start doing weekly measurements to keep track of my progress.

    The reason I joined this group in the first place is because I had hit a plateau early on in my journey and it began to affect my motivated mindset.

    I am proud to say that as of this past week I have lost 1.5" around my waist and 1" around my hips.

    It is exciting to see that I am making progress!

    Wow well done on the inches lost! I'm in that awful in between sizes stage, too small for one and too big for the other so I'm going around in clothes that are sagging off me LOL Kind of makes me feel better that they are so much looser though! I'm doing my measurements at the gym at the end of this week hopefully so it'll be interesting to see how much of a drop there is from last time.

    I hear you on the plateau as well, I've been sitting at the same weight plus a small gain since Xmas, and although I caved and weighed I was so grateful to see that I was doing the right thing and that I was back to my Xmas weight in just a week, I'm committed to not weighing now that I know it's all in my head!

    I haven't weighed myself since January 30th, but I have been taking weekly progress photos, and I can see major changes and it feels awesome :)

    Yesterday I had dinner with my mother. I ate a lot, and it was "bad" stuff. The old me would've weighed in today and cried about the gain, but I just looked at the mirror and thought "damn, I look good, the hard work is paying off"! :smile:

    12 more days for me. I'm doing well, although I'm very curious to see how much I've lost since I know I've slimmed down quite a bit. My endurance is definitely improving when working out, and I can almost do a full push-up (this sounds really pathetic, but I could barely hold myself up a month ago so I see this as great progress).


    Oooh, good luck with your weight training, sbarella!
