I'm considering putting away my scale and measuring tape for the next 30 days and forgetting about numbers. Just focusing on good healthy choices and behavior. Anyone else done this? What kind of results did you end up finishing with?

    Also as someone suggested in another thread...I think I will remove my cheat day from each week for the next 30 days as well.

    I don't know if I can do this. I'd love to but I'll have a think about it! At the moment I am still using it as a spur to keep going.

    I'll do this with you guys! I hate the scale lately since it's not showing me what I want to see. Plus I figure I can concentrate more on my eating habits.

    I used to weigh myself every day, but now I only do it once every two weeks or so. Personally, it keeps me more motivated because psychologically I see more weight loss at once.

    It's been two weeks for me! I'm not weighing in until spring break (17 days!) I think it's a great idea to take the fixation off of something that's honestly just a number. It is not indicative of health!

    Great idea. My loss is very slow, so I only weigh once a month.

    Ok...I'm obsessed with the number on that stupid scale. I am with you on this. I have been contemplating it for a while but haven't had enough guts to actually do it. Knowing that others are dealing with the same thing will definitely help me stay off the scale for a month!

    I've done this twice now once when I started MFP for a month and lost 15 lbs and the second time was befor Christmas for a month and I lost 3 lbs that time! It's a great idea!

    I'm in too! I'll weigh myself and take measurements tomorrow morning, then not till Apr 2nd. I just bought a food scale today too so hopefully that helps me lose even more weight. I've gained a lb in the last 2 weeks :(
