    I've been trying like the ****ens to figure out what I was going to give up for Lent. I think this is a WONDERFUL idea! I have a tendency to weigh 2-3 times per week, and only record the loss on Fridays... but this sounds like a terrific idea! I'm IN!

    Ok I have to laugh .... MFP does allow you to say ****ens... haha haha haha!
    Welcome to the group...

    FZy: Those poor lil chickens... I hate those things... have you ever put them in the microwave... its a fun sight!

    Now you know I am gonna have to buy some just to find out what happens to them. Personally I have no problem eating them. Never did like them.......now the chocolate rabbit...there's a tough one for me! LOL

    I am SOOO on this, guys! I just started a thread, and I will join this instead. 40 days and I get a "final" weight in so I can get one more looksie in - cool! Are we going to keep track of eachother on here??? I hope so.

    ARchyJill - I surely don't mean any disrespect, here, but if you continue to weigh yourself on Monday's then you really aren't participating. Why not just give it up for 40 days? (I don't know your history, maybe you belong to a real life weight loss group where weigh ins are required or something? Perhaps you could ask them to make it "secret" to you until the 40 days is up?)

    I think I will give it a great big GO! I never thought I could be addicted to anything that I don't put in my mouth but that darn scale! I weigh myself daily. Sometimes twice! I am horrible! NO MORE!

    I think it's a great idea to post how we're doing on here. I actually am at 14 days without my scale (I started the Lenten scale diet a little earlier than everyone). We could post here how we're feeling without the scale, how are clothes are fitting since we can't weigh ourselves and how/if our measurements are shrinking if you choose to measure.

    I agree completely... I was planning on posting a new topic when we start the "diet"

    Daily --- haha I currently weigh 3 times per day every single day. I will be literally shaking the first couple of days I am sure...

    I'm in! I don't own a scale yet, but I am going to the doctor on March 10th. I'll record the weight I get there, and then I will vow not to buy a scale until after Easter.

    Yay I'm excited.

    I'm willing to try! I also weigh myself at least once daily, frequently more. So this is probably just what I need to lose my dependency on the scale :ohwell:

    (Also, I'm not religious, but here's to a Lenten effort!)

    Yup, count the duck in as well...........I always give up stuff for Lent and this seems a very constructive addition................Scales are being given to Mr Duck and will not be returned until Easter Sunday..............gulp......!!!! :tongue:

    I'm kind of in, and out, at once. I decided today to give up mfp and scales this lent. So see you all again on Easter Sunday (or until Tuesday's over first, anyway).

    My CW (weighed in this morning) 186.5. I just registered to do my first 5k on Mothers Day here in Pittsburgh Pa. So i am hoping with the training and eating right I can drop some weight. My GW is 140-145ish. Good Luck to everyone with this challenge
