Count me in, too! I have needed a really good reason to stop checking the scale more often than I should and this is the motivation I need!0

I like this idea too! I'll take my measurements tonight and put away that scale!0

Welcome aboard everyone!! I am excited to get started.0

Wow! This will be a hard challenge for me!! I may have to send my scale to my boyfriend's house for the month, but I am in!
Thanks for organizing this0 -
ok, I'm in. I don't have a scale, but I've measured myself and have figured my body fat... ugh! I go back to see my dr on 5/5/12, and I will weigh then, but in the meantime, I would love to participate in this!0

Yay Beth! I'm ready to start! I'm going to post weekly measurements as well, and my husband thinks this is an amazing idea! He knows how I am with the scale! So starting tomorrow I'll post all information! Yay!0

Chest = 33 3/4 in
Waist = 33 1/2 in
Hips = 39 3/4 in
Right thigh = 22 1/2 in
Right arm = 10 1/2 in

Alright, this isn't particularly easy to do but here are my starting measurements...
Weight: 164
Neck: 13.25
Left Arm: 12.5
Right Arm: 12.5
Chest: 30.75
Waist: 28.25
Stomach: 31.25
Hips: 41
Left Thigh: 24.5
Right Thigh: 24.75
Body fat: 25%
My goal is to be 155 by June 20, so I may extend the challenge for myself past June 11 and see if I can make it to the 20th without stepping on the scale. My workout routine is Insanity and today I finished the first month of workouts. Recovery week then on to Month 2 which should really help shed this fat quickly!0 -
I'll jump in there. I have an addiction to the scale! I weigh several times a day. The good side of that is I understand how fickle water in the body is at different times of the day/week/month, so I'm not flustered when the scale goes up. But at the same time, I feel like I'm stuck in quicksand because I'm always watching the fluctuation and not seeing real motion losing.
Count me in!

I'm in since my numbers is always different when I weigh myself.0

Yes, I'll give it a shot. I currently weigh every day and it's not helping. If I lose a bit, I find myself slacking....if I gain a bit, I find myself saying the heck with it and slacking. Either way, it's not helping me!!! Thanks for the great idea. Will keep in touch!0

I was obsessed with the scale when I first started losing weight. The number I saw would totally affect my mood and I found that it was doing more harm that good. I stopped cold turkey and did not weigh myself for 2 years! It was a huge help. A trick that worked for me, is taking pictures. I don't know if it seems shallow, but I'd take pictures of myself all the time. If I liked what I saw, it was motivating; and if I didn't, I knew I better step it up!
I compete in Brazilian JiuJitsu now, so unfortunately, I have to watch the scale, but good luck guys! This is an awesome idea!0 -
