YOU CAN DEF DO IT!!! I know I am only like 4 days in to not using the scale, but I already love the freedom! The first two days were HARD, but everyt ime I thought about stepping on the scale I remembered this thread. I am also more conscious of my food choices now. Before, if I ate something that wasn't good for me but still lost weight I wrote off the fact that I hadn't fueled my body correctly. Now I am 100% focused on my exercise and nutrition because June 30 will be a big day and I want this little experiment to pay off lol. Also, I do not trust these daily and weekly weight fluctuations...I want to see what my body does with a solid month! JOIN US! and feel free to friend me!0

So 4 days in and no stepping on the scale while doing a reset so I am eating at my TDEE which is a significant (for me) increase to my calories. But my clothes still fit and I feel good. So we can do this!
Oh - does anyone wake up starving now? It's to the point that my eyes pop open and my first thought is "what's for breakfast" not "where's my coffee"....0 -
Yep, putting the scale away as soon as I get home!!0

4 days in no weighing for me either0

I used to be a prisoner of the scale. If feels so good not to be. DH hid it from me and I went through withdrawals but feel so much better now :laugh:
You can do it Ladies!0 -
I also put both of my scales in the trunk of my car last week. I freaked out after showing a 4 lb. gain that I knew was water weight from weightlifting, even though I could fit into the jeans I haven't been able to wear since Christmas.
It has been amazing to not let the scale dictate how I feel.0 -
That's great! I have put mine away a couple weeks ago. Its a little nerve wracking but so freeing. Our day will not depend on what the scale says and boy is that wonderful. I just keep working out and eating clean and I know that's the best I can do so whatever the scale says then so be it. GOOD LUCK!
This is how I feel exactly! I'm working hard and eating right, I feel great until...I get on the *%#@! scale. Then my air gets deflated just a little bit, although I know for a fact the scale is a terrible measure of success. I'm scared to death to give up my "frenemy" but I'll try it!!!0 -
So glad to know that I'm not the only one that's addicted to my scale. I weigh multiple times a day to see how different things affect me. Today is my first day of EMTWL so I'm going to take the scale out of the bathroom and put it away. I'll see what happens in 4 weeks. :laugh:0

day 4 for me!! the scale isnt even IN MY HOUSE so i have no outlet for temptation. so far so good. like everyone else im scared of gaining weight but........
i dont want to eat less!!
its hard letting go of a set "weight" in your head though. some how i became a daily weigher.0 -
I committed to not getting on the scale after Friday. I took the batteries out of the scale. Unfortunately, I put them in my jewerly box, which is in the same closet. That made it easy for me to put them back in this morning. Urgh. I will take them out again when I get home and put them in my gym bag, which i don't keep in the bedroom.0

That is a great idea! I am totally going to do this....because the thought of me pulling my scale out of my trunk and weighing myself in a parking lot cracks me up...can you imagine the "crazy lady" looks I would get?0 -
day 5 of no scale and i am really feeling it today. i would have totally jumped on it this morning if it wasnt miles away and as i planned out my food for the day and laughing/panicking over having to add MORE and MORE i really wanted to see what was going on so far "all up in here"
its a disease!!0 -
I failed the first day today, but I am seriously hiding it when I get home...I was super hungry when I got home yesterday and ate about 600 cals over goal (600 over a 1500 goal, but may be raising that soon) so I knew my weight would be up. I just got too tempted and got on this morning before I got in the shower. Sure enough, up 2 lbs! I'm smart enough to realize that I couldn't have gained 2 lbs. of fat in 24 hours so it didn't bother me too much but the scale is just making me angry every day!0
-
yup! im in. havent weighed in since friday so that makes it 4 days so far!0

Well, I've made it eating close to TDEE AND not weighing for 13 days and I'm about to lose my mind from fear. I know that today (day 1 of TOM) is always my lightest day of the month and June 30 (ovulation) is historically my heaviest. :sad:
I will admit I've enjoyed the freedom from having my daily mood set by a piece of machinery.
