I'm going on a "Scale Diet" -- want to join me? LOL

I'm in, once a week is all I should be doing also. I hate the fluctuations!! I get them but I don't like em!! Last week I logged 8 hours of exercise and was excellant about eating, and that damn thing didn't budge! SERIOUSLY!!!! Then I wake up this am and sure enough my monthly visitor, which isn't really monthly so I;'m never really sure when!! but totally explains the NON movement!! Good luck!! Keep in touch!!

I have also decided to stop weighing everyday. Those fluctuations are frustrating to me. I have decided to start slow and do mine twice a week: Wednesday & Saturday mornings.

Thank goodness I am not the only one who does this! I weigh myself sometimes twice a day which is terrible! I am going to commit to once a week as well! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!

I broke myself of the habit when I was logging at another similiar site, once a week, same time, same day, without clothes. It took me about 3 weeks to break the habit, but as the weight slowly crept back I found myself jumping on it any time I ate. Now my scale is in my closet, far away that it is not in my sight. I pull it out once a week and put it back immediately. It still have "cravings" to pull it out, but I have resisted. You can do this and I will continue my efforts to avoid the scale.. I learned to judge my success by the clothing and by the tape measure.

The Truth about the SCALE:
The scale doesn't tell you how much fat you have. Your scale does exactly what it's supposed to—it tells you how much you weigh.
The scale can't tell if you've gained muscle
You didn't really gain 5 pounds of fat overnight. Your scale is registering water, stored carbohydrates, and food. Also, cheap bathroom scales may have measurement errors
Your body's water levels are constantly changing.

I'm in too, at least I'll try. I weigh myself every day sometimes twice a day. It's and addiction, lol. I only log my weight in on Friday's, so I will try to only step on the scale on Friday mornings.

Good post!

Yes! I was already thinking I shouldn't be checking my weight so often, as I do it in the afternoon after work, and it is always different depending on what I have eaten... I checked on Sunday, so ı will wait until Sunday to check it again, great idea! But I am heading to the gym tonight, it will be hard to not jump on the scales...

I am so in I hope I can do it, my husband says I am obsessed !!! Yeah well I am the fluctuations are killing me though.... So I am going to pick Fridays as my day!!!!! Good luck to everyone who finds this to be challanging

This was my plan too!!! I want to weigh only once a week so I can actually see a difference at the moment im doing it daily!!!

Yay im in!!

My weigh day is monday! x

I'm in too! My weigh in day is Monday.

I actually thought about doing this. I weigh B4 bed and right when I wake up. Its frustrating not seeing the scale move as often as I would like it, so this would be good for me! I'm going to ask my hubby to hide it from me for a few weeks!

I am one of those people who weighs themselves every day and it's not a problem -- I' okay with seeing fluctuations up and down and stay focused. But just for the sake of knowing I can break myself of this habit and just to see if it makes any difference, I'm going on a "Scale Diet." Effective yesterday, I am committing to only weighing myself once a week (my day is Saturday) until April 1st.

Want to join me?

I have this problem too. Back when I did Weight Watchers I weighed myself constantly and it made me crazy. Then I stopped completely once I started gaining weight and that wasn't the answer either because when I finally did break the scale back out I'd gained 20lbs. I'm committed to once a week now. I had my husband hide my scale on me and told him not to give it back until Thursday night so I can weigh in Friday morning. I can't trust myself

I am in...The scale is evil...then when your gym scale does not match you home scale you go even more insane !!!

I actually hid my home scale the other day so this will help me be more accountable.

We can do it :ohwell:

must be something in the air.. i decided to do this on friday.. once a week hope i can stick to it...friday will be my day
