THE Scale (or lack thereof) Challenge (round 2)

Sorry Banks, I caved again
GRR!! BUT, I don't weigh more than once a week so I guess I have SOME self-control.
I have just been making a few changes and wanted to see the outcome so I could share my success with the doubters on here, which I did in another post.
I did go to the scale with a different frame of mind though. I said to myself "I know I am doing the right thing, I know this works and it will all even out in the end...so if the number isn't great...then I will be ok"
So, I was down 4 lbs!!!! I went from 193 to 189! I was shocked. BUT, I have been eating more on exercise days (at least 1800 calories) and on days I don't work out I stick to around 1450.
I think if we find what works for our bodies...(which takes some trial and error), we will all succeed. I know I won't have losses like this every week but I have discovered that my body does this. It takes a break once in awhile and I have small losses or even a maintain and then suddenly I have a big loss and it evens things out.0 -
Still in. I actually think this is good for me, cause I am working so much harder to be sure I see something good on weigh day. I just wish that day would hurry up and get here.....lol0

Well, sis, I was working, but since my job is better than your job, I can do stuff like this at work :laugh: :laugh: (it's ok everyone, we are sisters and just playing :bigsmile: )0 -
Tomorrow is one week already...that's kind of crazy. I said I was only going to try for one week, but now I'm thinking about tacking on another week. It's hard because I want to KNOW! :grumble:0

Well, yesterday was my last day of the challenge... I weighed myself and I've maintained.. 125.6.
I'll rejoin the challenge tomorrow.

Ack, I'm going crazy right now, we put in an offer on a house, sorry if I'm a little all over the place today, bear with me, still haven't looked though.0

Still haven't weighed...but I really want to! It is amazing at how much self control I have over everything except eating. That's the true addiction. I do feel like I've gained but it may just be paranoia. I definitely have been more religious about my cals and exercise since I can't weigh everyday....0

good luck w/ the house Banks!!!
and good job w/ the maintaining Jo!!!
and great job everyone else even if you slipped up....I am going nuts myself thinking...did I gain, stay the same, lose...."I need to know what I weighhhhhhh ......I want you to shoooow me!" (singing to my scale to I wanna know what love is....that should show you how bad this is getting:noway: )...how many more days?!

:laugh: Sisters are great. Mine are back in the Midwest and I really miss them. My daughter is on this site though and we're in a race to get to 150 pounds first because the first one that does has to buy the other a new outfit ($40 limit). Have fun.0 -

Dia dos:
I'm too busy to even think about the scale so I'm good.

I'm out guys. Sorry. I woke up feeling super heavy and just had to know. I was up 2 pounds. :noway: BUT, the good thing is that I then checked my calendar and realized that my "special time" should begin any day now. No wonder I felt so fat. :grumble: Good luck to all, I'll still be reading to see how you all do

Ok. Me, I am the one that gave in and I'm out. Sorry about all of that. Best wishes to all of you :flowerforyou:0 -
I made it through the week as I had originally intended--I'm going to keep it down to once a week from here on out. This challenge definitely helped--and I lost a pound! Thanks everyone!0

Is it still time to join? My scale told me that i haven't lost anything but yet I have lost 2inches around my waist???
So I am gonna bin the scale and just check with my trousers:laugh:0 -
My digital scale had an unfortunate accident with a pitcher of water in January. It was the first and last scale at my house.
I stopped with the gym scale in March, and don't miss it either. Now that I am at a good weight for me, I am focused on sculpting.
I'm in by default :laugh:0 -
I for one really need to join this challenge i have a habit of getting on the scale everyday before i get in the shower. so i weigh myself everyday and im sick of seeing no change or a little one or a huge one that is compeletey inaccurate!!!
so starting 2day for me i will not weight myself until June 4 th!!!! this is going to be so hard!!!!0
