Has anyone else heard of/is participating in no weigh May? Where you go just by NSV the entire month of May? I weighed myself this morning and don't plan on weighing again until June 1st. Just judging on NSV for the month. I am an obsessive weigher. So this will be extremely difficult for me.

    The scale and I are not friends...I am hoping for inches lost at this point. I am not even going to measure myself...just going to try on clothes that don't fit anymore. I have a pair of jeans I would love to fit into!! I bought them and never wore them, because I stared gaining weight.

    I keep yo-yoing up and down, I see the number on the scale go down and it makes me happy, then when it creeps back up it really messes with my mo-jo. I figure if I focus on the NSV, when I step on the scale at the end of the month it wont bother me as much.

    I do this every month (only weigh on the first of every month) so this isn't a challenge for me necessarily :)

    I am a compulsive weigher, like daily.

    I can't do it, as I'd drive myself nuts with the constant fluctuations. I'm consistently losing anywhere from 6-8lbs a month so I'll stick with this method as it keeps me relatively calm about it all :)

    I'm a compulsive weigher too! My friend is trying to get me to scale back and I kinda have but still weight pretty much daily. This NSV sounds challenging for sure!

    I'm the same! Find myself stepping on the scales so much and wondering how much I'll weigh. I might give this a try!

    When you get to your goal, you can have it sized.
