Hello to all the ladies, great idea combining the threads, there is power in numbers....lol
Keep up the great work ladies, we are strong beautiful women and we will not defined by a number on the scale!

We are definitely off to a awesome start. Let this motivate you ladies! The scale is just a tool that we use. It shouldn't control how we view ourselves. It shouldn't dictate how good of a day we will have.
Lets continue to take back our control!!0 -
I stepped of the scale on Friday and was down 2 pounds. I've lost 10 so far. So now I'm not getting on the scale until March 3rd. I have to lose 3-5 pounds this month and I don't want to get discouraged.0

Alright we will support you in your effort Viggie!
The week-end is almost done! Congrats ladies on making it through.0 -
Its a new week!! Check in and let us know how you are doing. If you made it one day or 7 seven days count it all as an accomplishment!!
I did well this week. Out of sight....waaaaaaaaaaay out of sight is definitely out of mind. I know my scale is feeling neglected in the trunk of my car, but it'll be ok. March 1st isn't too far off.0 -
I made it through my Monday morning routine without even thinking of the scale.
Our scale sits it the powder room on the main floor on it's side leaned up against the wall and the cupboard, I didn't even look towards it this morning when I used that washroom.
I am finding that this is really helping my determination to stay focused on my lifestyle change.
Good job everyone, we are doing this! ^5

Good luck to you guys! I don't think I could do this! I wish I could though because it would make for a much happier month! I might start a goal of just weighing myself once a week instead of everyday and then maybe I can try to go a month without.0
-
Everybody can do it. All it takes is making it one day longer than you normally do. If thats 24 hours then thats a new goal. Then just try for 1 more day.
No judgement here!
Its a new day ladies. I hope you all were able to make it through the night. If not, no worries. Just try again.
I'm doing well. Didn't even think about it this morning to the point that this thread almost slipped my mind *wow moment*.0 -
I cheated.....I weighed myself to get my accurate weight to change my goals. I only want to lose down to 125 instead of the original 120. After looking at old pictures, the 125ish weight looks much better on me......120 and under is getting a little too bony for my body type. But I'm getting back on the wagon now....no more scale til March 1st!! 0

I don't see any guys here!!! Let me be the first male to say, "Count me in!"0

Ok goal changer. That was good to reflect back on pictures. I sometimes do the same. I'm 5'11". Sometimes I set my goal to 190 and then sometimes I say nahhhh 180. I can't make up my mind. :laugh:0 -
Welcome aweight2go!
I looked at the scale at the gym today and had a little laugh to myself as I walked by.
I am noticing that this is making me push myself even harder during my workouts.
I am feeling a little leaner in the mid section and I'm glad I'm not weighing myself because maybe it is just inches I am losing and not pounds which is great and if I the scale didn't budge then I might become deflated with my goals.
I also like to challenge myself!

Awesome Karen!! Redirecting that focus towards your workout is a excellent choice!0 -
I am going to try to do this starting this weekend bc I haven't weighed myself in close to a month.
Sounds like a great challenge0 -
I failed
The stupid scale found it's way back to my house. So I weighed and I was down 1 pound:blushing: I'm going to have my husband put the thing up on a shelve that I can't reach. So although I think this is great it's not for me right now. Hope everybody reaches their goals. 0 -

You did not fail!! I need you to remove that word from your vocab forever! LOL You have accomplished a great task. Up to yesterday you were doing well. Like you said just put it up and start again.
I'm glad you are down a pound!! :bigsmile:0 -

Welcome! We are glad to have you!0 -
So I went to the doctor's yesterday. I got weighed but I didn't look. I thought it was going to be hard but it wasn't. I have to get weighed again today at my Nutritionist appt. I'm going to try my best not to look and I have to let her know not to accidentally mention it :bigsmile:
I'm feeling good though. I feel like I've lost a pound. Coooooooooome on March 1st!!0 -
Viggie - I agree with Desirai remove that word from your vocab. You did not fail, you tried a challenge and you did it for x number of days and you start again.
Des - That is awesome, you are really being put to the scale test these past few days.
I needed a fix this morning, I know I am feeling leaner and I needed an affirmation.
I didn't go to the scale!
I pulled out my tape measure and measured only my waist and I'm down 2 1/4 inches! Woot Woot! That was very satisfying, knowing I went by how my body felt and not by the number on the scale. Knowing my body I may not have lost any pounds as I'm also building muscle.
Thank you so much Des for coming up with this challenge. It really is a great lesson in discipline and learning to listen to your body.

Karen you are doing a amazing job. Keep the focus!0 -
Good Day Ladies & Gent! How is everyone doing? Its Friday! Yeaaaah!!
Well I went to my 2nd appointment yesterday. My nutritionist said she was happy that I was focusing more on being healthier than losing weight. So I'm going to pass that all off to you all as well. By not focusing on the scale you are definitely doing yourself a great service. This change should be more about eating healthy, being more active and trading not so good habits for better ones. The weight loss is going to come with that change. I think we are just a "right now" society but unfortunately weight loss takes time because our bodies can be a bit tempermental when a change is being made. Just know you will succeed if you stick with it.0 -
Desirai - Thank you for sharing this with us, it is so true and a great reminder for all of us.
Good job staying away from the scale.

Welcome to the challenge! You can do it. Just stay focus!
Its mighty quiet in this topic ladies & gent! I hope everyone is having a great week-end!0 -
Its Monday! I hope everyone had a lovely Saturday and Sunday. How did everyone fair out this week-end? Did you stay focus without the scale or did you need a little peak for reinforcement?
I'm still on task. That dang blasted scale is staying in that trunk!!0 -
Happy Valentine's Day!
I'm still on track! Actually I am not evening thinking of that darn scale, just enjoying how my clothes are feeling!
The month is half way over and we are doing this!
Karen0 -
Happy Valentine's Day! How did I forget to even mention that.
Its funny. I really have to program myself to remember this challenge because I don't think about the scale. That is such a bad thing yet a good one also lol.
Karen I'm glad you able to witness your changes by how your clothes feel. Thats awesome. You are definitely tuning in to yourself! Excellent!0 -
Hello everyone! I'm still working towards March 1st, are you? Lets us know how you are doing.0
