    I am going to try. I usually weigh myself twice a week. I work at a Dr's Office so there are scales everywhere! It will definitely be a lesson in discipline.

    Current weight :225
    Goal for 8/19: 219

    Like this idea, weighing in is great if you've lost but I find I get really down if I haven't so no more scales until then!! :wink:

    OK, just saw this so I will start tomorrow morning. This is going to be VERY hard for me. My usual morning routiine is potty, brush, weigh.........

    But it is becoming an obsession........ My husband will thank who ever thought this one up!!

    I'm IN! I do rely on that silly scale too much for my own self esteem, even though I know I'm doing/feeling/looking better!

    I, too, will need to take the batteries out or I shall be tempted, LOL

    I'm IN!

    I had my normal weekly weigh in this morning, so it's a perfect time to start. I'm becoming obsessive with weighing every morning and it really affects my mood/motivation even just 0.5kg! Im going away on 16th August so might have to finish then....if that's ok?

    CW: 169lb
    GW (aug 16th): 160lb

    Going to stuff the scales in the back of a cupboard somewhere as soon as i get home!

    I went for a consultation at The Diet Center here in my hometown and was so astonished at the results.

    Body Fat %= 37%

    Water Weight= 95lbs

    BMI= results severly obese

    Should I go on. This seems like a real jolt to my self esteem.

    I have lost 8 lbs since joining in June. They actually wanted me to pay $600 to join and $59 each week for their supplements. That is not going to happen. I can continue with MFP for free.

    I will not weigh myself again until August 19. Hopefully there will be at least a 5 lb difference in my favor.

    Let me know how it goes for you.

    I'm so in. I'm getting hooked on numbers, and when I crept up a couple pounds in the last couple weeks (which I know isn't real weight because I strictly follow my eating plan and I workout at least 6 times a week), I've been starting to stress. I need to focus on the improvement I see everyday rather than the number on the scale!

    SW: 150.8
    CW: 132.8
    GW: 125

    Day 1 has been successful...I did not step on the scale this morning when I woke up and it made me feel awesome, like the scale didn't have control over me!!!

    I could definitely keep this up til August 19th!!

    Starting Weight: 194 pounds
    Goal for 08/19/2012: 185 pounds

    I'm totally in. I've been obsessing too much about the number on the scale and when I gain (even if it's only half a pound), I get so devastated. It's discouraging. So I had decided after last week's weigh-in, I'm not going to weigh myself for a month and see what a difference it will be. :)

    Okay...I will make this my very first challenge on MFP...I'll have my son keep the scale in his room so I'm not too tempted to peek.
