No Scale - April

Hi all, how is everybody doing. I so want to know my wt and if I am losing.

This is the longest I have ever stayed off the scale and it is killing me, since 2005 when I started weight watchers.

I haven't weakened yet, but I think I will give it one more week and see how I feel.

Just wondering how everybody else is doing.

  • The last 2 days have been really tough because I feel as though I might have gained weight. Working hard to remember that I can't rely solely on the number on the scale to boost my confidence, or, self image. I pushed myself to do some strength exercises this morning and actually feel a whole lot better.

    Hey everyone. Hope you are all holding strong. I know you might be tempted but lets keep in mind that the point of this month is to not let numbers define how you feel about yourself. Eat right, exercise and be happy. You are beautiful, strong, independent and positive people who dont need a piece of plastic laying on the bathroom floor to tell you if you are HAPPY OR SAD for the day!!!

    Be happy because you know that you are leading a healthy life and are doing your best to make the changes that are necessary. If you slip up it is going to be okay because we ALL make mistakes (even the most regimented of us) and it is how we deal with those mistakes that really shows how strong we are.

    Good luck!!

    We are almost at the halfway point in this challenge..(another 4 days) I'm staying very strong. I find if i get up, go to the bathroom, EAT..the temptation of weighing in greatly reduces. Just remember..no matter if you lose weight, gain, or maintain..just remember that you worked hard, did everything you could. That alone will help me smile. Good luck, everyone! You can do it!

    Doing good. Tempted for good reasons. I feel like I'm noticing changes in my body and how my clothes fit. Small changes, but changes nonetheless. I want so bad to look at that scale to see if that's validated...but then I think that if it's not, I will be MAD!!! haha. I'm hangin in there, I feel good so far :) Hope everyone else is too!

    Still holding strong!! I don't miss the scale at all and I'm noticing more pronounced changes in my body. My tummy has come down even more and I just feel smaller. I think I was such a slave to the scale that I was tricking myself into thinking that I wasn't working hard enough and in truth, I was sabotaging myself. I was stettinf myself up to fail. This same thing happened to me when I was on weight watchers. I was weighing myself too much and fluctuating so much and I became so discouraged and I gave up on it. I am proud of myself for dropping the scale!
