30 days without a scale and proof that the scale "lies"

Thank you for this post! FIRST off, AWESOME work!! I can tell the difference without question! I just had a scale meltdown myself. You thik after loosing what I have thus far, I'd get over the damn scale, but no...us women and men love the self abuse of stepping on that scale huh! I started working out again this week...30 day shred, and gained some weight. And have been watching what I eat like crazy! So frustrating! Like you said...its a society thing. I know I have a "set" number in my head that I want to magically see on the scale some day. That number for some reason is in the 130's. Why do we have such an obsession with a number...society I guess.

Keep up the great work!!! I surely shows!!!

Thank you for posting this. My scale has been living in my trunk since Oct 1 because it was taunting me! I had to go to the doctor this AM and get weighed one day before my month without the scale challenge and I hadnt lost a single pound...NOT A SINGLE FRIGGIN POUND!!! I too was ready to burst into tears and eat straight from the 1/2 gallon of blue bell ice cream in the freezer but i didnt. I didnt take before pictures (shame on me) but i will measure in the morning as planned. I know for sure the inches are gone because my clothes are falling off and every part of me that used to be really big is not that big anymore. Your post keeps me from learking to the freezer for a mini pitty party before bed. Thanks. BTW, you look awesome!!!

I hear ya sister! I have been stuck at 218/217/216 and once i even saw a 215 for the last 4 weeks! But....it seems as though my clothes are fitting different, they are loser, and the shape of my body is changing. It seems that every couple of months or so my body changes it's shape even though the scale barely moves. So hang in there, i desparately want to see a 1 as well and even 215 would be great as it will mark 100lb loss. I know i will get there eventually and it's going to take me being patient, i mean, i do have my splurge days which probably hold me back but i can't live without pizza, icecream etc. forever! Stay focused and hang tuff...we got this!

Yep I see a difference. You look tighter and slimmer. Keep it up!

Thanks for posting this. I haven't even taken my measurements yet, but I plan to. That way I won't rely only on what the scale tells me. So far, I've lost weight each week, but if I don't one week, the measurements can be a reassurance

I definitely see changes. I am hating the scale today so thanks for posting this!

Well done you and thank god, I measured two inches smaller on my waist but as the scales had gone up I assumed I had just measured incorrectly the first time round... maybe not now!

Woohoo wtg on the inches lost...I hate the scale...it's my worst enemy. Thank you for this post!

AMEN, sister! The scale is EVIL. You go girl!

I can definitely see a difference! Congrats on your tremendous willpower to get rid of the evil lying scale...and thanks for proving to the rest of us (who have been made slave to the evil lying scale) that this journey is not all about the lbs. Keep it up!
