How to Improve (the lows): no more tailgating HAHA

:drinker::noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: NO SCALE CHALLENGE:noway: :noway: :noway: :noway:
I have decided that stepping on the scale every morning is doing NOTHING for my motivation. In fact it is bringing me down on a regular basis. The weird part is that if I step on the scale and see a loss i'm still frustrated because "it's not enough."
I have challenged myself to only stepping on the scale on MONDAY MORNINGS from here on out. What does the number on the scale really mean anyway? Truthfully, there are days that I wake up feeling great about how I look and feel in the mirror and then I step on the scale and it's shattered by a gain. I'm sick of letting the scale set the tone for my day everyday.
Who's with me? :drinker:
I'm with you!! Except for this Friday, it's my birthday and I really wanted to hit my 75 pound mark by my birthday, so I will step on the scale on friday just to see if I reached my mini goal. Otherwise, I am in the rest of the way!!!0 -

Hey everyone! Just wanted to write a quick note to let y'all know I'm changing my goals...originally I said I wanted to be under 200 by Christmas (for this challenge), but seeing as it's 9/11 and I'm 213, I think I can make it to 199 by Thanksgiving! So my new Christmas goal is 194
It's going to be tough, but I know I can do it, especially with a community like y'all here!
Anyone else here hoping to get to 199 before 2012?
I am so hoping to hit my 100 pound weight loss mini goal by Christmas but, I would love to be in One-derland by Halloween, now another mini goal! Thanks for the inspiration! Here's hoping!!0 -
