    So, I said I was going no-scale on Friday. Well, I decided to weigh myself first thing Saturday. Because I am weak. But I am actually really glad I did! I am finally down 20 pounds, and I rewarded myself by buying an awesome new dress.

    Since then, I haven't weighed myself--two mornings strong! I doubt I would have been able to go two days in a row without that boost on Saturday...

    Sorry, I'm out. I started getting the mindset that if I don't do very good each day I still have a certain amount of time to get back on track so I start getting careless. If I weigh myself every morning I can keep myself on track better. So I weighed myself this morning and I gained one pound so far. Not good. Good luck to everyone else.

    I'm a little late, but I'm jumping in for 2 weeks...why???? Because I am hating the scale and loving the tape measure more & more all the time...:angry: I weighed in today, :grumble: but will not hop on again (or take measurements) for 2 weeks....:smile:

    NO cheat days! You're all addicts, just like me. Think of this like the Betty Ford clinic for
    scales!

    This is my first time checking out this section of the message boards. And I am with you. When did this start? Is it going on in May? Here I am almost the last day of April.

    I vow not to get on the scale until June 1st. I will jump on on May 1st, just for a check in, and then ignore the monster that I will hide under my bed until June 1.

    Thanks for starting this Banks!

    OK, I'm in. A little late but I'm in. Maybe this will stop the mood swings everytime the darn thing doesn't budge.

    I made it through the morning! (I never have an urge to weight during the day, just the first thing in the AM. If I can make it through breakfast, then I have no desire for the scale.)

    I did break out the measuring tape, and I've lost an INCH of my thighs! I don't know if that's against the challenge, but I hope not because I skipped out to my car this morning!!!

    I haven't posted because I am ashamed that on Saturday.... I got on the scale. :frown:
    And that was after this great revalation on Friday about not getting obsessed...

    I am a total, total addict.

    Ok, did I read there are 17 more days left? I guess if I know the end to this I can try to go on. Am I kicked out for cheating?

    Hey!!!.. well, I agree with you a little bit ..Punk!:tongue:
    My pants are fitting a bit tighter around the tush so I have to make sure I'm not gaining.
    But, I'll get back on this challenge the day after I weigh myself which is Friday (?)

    so, I'm on day 11, it's hot out here, all my water's gone, and all I can see is sand for miles and miles.

    .....

    Wait, what's that in the distance, it's......it's..... Palm trees? Water! Water! yes!

    LOL, my trapped in the desert analogy.

    You may feel like you're stranded in the desert right now but don't worry, if you've gone this long the end is in sight!
    Just over 2 weeks left (16 days). Still going strong.

    Day three, no worries! For a second I thought about getting on it, just to see, but you know why I didn't???

    Because of you guys! I feel like I would be letting you down! Such loyalty to people I've never met! Crazy, eh?


    I'm not even shooting for two weeks, I just want to get to the end of one! So Joanna is a mighty strong lady is my book. :)

    I just read all of your posts...and I have to say YOU GUYS ARE MY HEROS! I am waaaaaaaaaayyyy too addicted to the scale. 3 times a day isnt uncommon. It made me nervous just reading about you guys giving up the scale. I honestly do not think I could do it.......sigh.......maybe some day I can grow up and get a little will-power. Or with a stroke of luck, the scale thief will sneak in in the middle of the night and steal my dirty little secret out of the bathroom! :blushing:

    Good luck to you all!
