    Don't put the scale in ur trunk! There is far to much bouncing in ur car, not healthy for the mechanics of the scale! I had my boyfriend hide mine, i have no idea where it is.. Its killing me. lol

    Next Friday I can weigh myself again..

    Good Luck!

    I know what you mean... I used to hate scales, but now I weigh myself so many times a day, it's ridiculous lol but I don't think I'll stop, well at least not for now as it doesn't depress me... yet :)

    I weigh everyday and find it to be motivating....if I am up a bit, it is the reason to go the extra 30 minutes at the gym, if it is down, it is the reason to keep doing what I am doing. I try to figure out WHY my weight is not going down, not in a negative way, but think about my food for the previous few days and where I can make things better.

    I am headed out on vacation on the 20th and will be without for 9 days, going to be tough on a number of different levels.

    Hi Savannah. ;-)

    I weigh every morning before I eat, drink or do anything. If I miss my window and Drink some OJ or make my oatmeal... I can't weigh. I have to weigh the next day or I feel my results will be inacurate.

    Yep, Im a fruit. :laugh:

    AHAHAH! I can totally relate - do you think if you stand with one foot on one, and the other foot on another, it would reflect that you weigh half as much? HAHA!

    I think this is a great idea! I am going to try it! It's funny, I weigh myself every morning and a slight, fractional gain can disappoint me. I know it's normal: I have more water in my body, I have more food in my body, I consumed too much sodium... But my mood is so reliant on it! Plus, it's a wonderful feeling when you step on the scale and see a 2 or 3 pound loss instead of that little .2 or .3 you see if you weigh yourself everyday!

    Now, where to hide the scale??? :indifferent:

    I'm bubble wrapping mine (wouldn't want it damaged) and putting it in a box in my trunk - I'm REALLY going all out here - that way I won't (at least, I'm pretty sure I won't) make the effort to go get the stupid thing...just to take a "peek"

    Savannah,
    Thank you so much for posting this; I am glad to know I'm not the only one- how about flexing your feet differently to effect the numbers? I've tried it! So funny how our little idiosyncrasies develop!

    Totally! Oh, maybe if I stand this way....ah, nope...this way? lol I've always believed that it's helped keep me in check, and, it does, but, I just need to break away from it for a bit! Break the bond, if you will! :)

    Im totally in for this! Im obsessed with weighing myself every morning. If the number stays the same or goes up, then I feel like crap for the entire day and just want to say screw it.

    Can totally relate.....finally decided a couple of weeks ago to only weight once a week. My scale too was determining my outlook for the day....not good.....hated being down on myself if I was up .2......now it's nice to see 3 and 4 pound losses for the week....also helps me focus on the "weekly goal" and work hard to achieve losing big numbers!!! Since I've put my scale away, I think I've worked harder and have been MORE determined to eat healthy and exercise a little more for "security" when facing that scale on Monday mornings.....I think your 10 day challenge rocks and you are right on target...

    I was just thinking I needed to do this myself. I know I am doing things right but the scale is dragging me down right now. When my husband comes home I am going to have him hide our scale and wii fit. If its not hidden I will give in.
