    soooo ready to sneak a peak. 2 days in for this challenge and all I want to do is see how well I've done! I know I've done well because I am tracking and exercising for Pete's sake! It goes to show that movement on the scale can sabotage me-- those sabotage details may be written about later. What a great challenge!

    Very interesting idea but wouldn't work for me. I track macros and need to make changes to them once i hit a plateau which the scale helps me determine. Regardless, go for it! Sounds refreshing.

    Nah, I'll be disappointed if I don't think I reached my goal at the end of the month, but really water retention made it seem like I lost less than I should have. At the very least I am not weighing everyday anymore. I don't care as much anymore. I don't want to see that I'm in the 200s still. :P

    Excellent idea. I have actually only weighed once so far this month, but at least that gives me a starting weight. We'll see what December 1st looks like. I think it's also worth it to start tracking my measurements again...

    I have been wearing an XL EMS pants, and I have L and M in my closet. I will be trying those on daily as my "guide." lol I have to do SOMETHING every morning. ;) I fit into the L's this morning, but not so ready for public viewing. I'm hoping the M's will fit by 11/30...if so, maybe I won't even weigh in until January 1st! (OMG, that thought made me twitch!)

    Love the idea but not sure I could make it the entire month. I'll be doing good if I can cut back from weighing every day to once a week.

    I'm late and I did just weigh myself today and the last few days to make sure my weight loss was a true one, but I can do away with the scale for the rest of the month.

    I guess I'll report back in on the first of December.

    I am surprised that I am still holding strong. Have a very big event the first weekend in January and I am dying to get on the scale...instead I just keep trying on the dress (and other items of clothing) that I plan to wear and "rejoice" in how they look better each day!

    I'm still holding out. I almost caved when my husband asked how much I've lost so far. But I told him what I was doing so now I'm accountable to him as well. I think I need to tell him to hide the scale just to be safe. Twitching as well.

    Almost half way there. We got this!!!

    I like this idea; I'm in too. I'm not sure I'm going to get too concerned about counting calories either. I'm thinking the only metric I'm going to track in November is carbohydrates (grams). I'm more and more convinced that the critical path for me is keeping my carbohydrates under 130 grams a day.

    This is a great idea!! Focusing on eating the right foods and exercising is where I have found my best success. Giving to much attention to the # on the scale does not help the weight go down and is actually counterproductive.

    Still holding out...ALMOST half-way there. Still twitching. lol
