Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

can't you put the scale by side of the bed or in the other bathroom? maybe in the dan marino room?

Do you think Dan Marino needs to be watching his weight? lol

I don't think the scale is going to bother me in my bathroom. But then again, this is day one. We'll see what happens as the days go on.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

Its been tempting but I just keep thinking about getting on there in 2 weeks and seeing a nice change that I dont wanna spoil it. I have been loosing pretty regularly still so I dont think I will be disappointed. Even if I am though it will be nice to not worry with the scale 3 or more times a day and have it control my moods and feelings of success or failure.

good attitude mother!

fg, no dan doesn't need to. i'm just saying that dh can his scale close by him if it's in the marino room, he spends time there this time of year.

rich, i'll deal with you later..............lol

btw, it was no problem for me today. i'm still in ketosis so that is an indicator for me that things are on track. i was gonna add back some carbs that i took away but i am not quite sure when. i wanted to get down to 123 then add a something back but now i won't the number. i'll figure it out.

you'll do fine, 2big. you want the award too badly to even think of not making it!

what did you end up doing with the scale(s)?

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

well I took the battery out of the 2 electrical ones and threw them out with the hazardous waste. Since i'm too cheap to get new ones and toss those they will be safe. Mother has the old black one with a handle in her bathroom and I feel like a little kid sneaking in there so I should be okay there. the 3 others are flat ones so they are upside down looking ugly in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom.

I gve you my word i wouldn't use them so I won't, but you have taken away one of my toys

Way to go 2Big. You definitely have a plan! Hang in there. After the first week it gets easier. I absolutely LOVE being free of my addiction. Oct. 22 will be here before you know it!

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

Man, it's been difficult for me actually just this morning even! I usually wake up and "feel" whether or not I have lost and decide to jump on the scale for that early morning pick me up (or downer if I'm terribly wrong!). THis morning I SOOO know I lost a couple pounds overnight and I wanted to confirm it...but I stood strong. I put the scale up on the top shelf of the hall closet. It has been in the floor in the kitchen starting at me in front of the refridgerator all week...

I am actually excited to see how I do in two weeks. It feels like I'm on "The Biggest Loser" and trying to see how much I can lose in 2 weeks....

I WILL WIN!!!

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

I agree, I looked at the scales today, but put them away in the bottom bathroom closet.

I'll definitely be even more aware of what I am doing, eating and thinking as I know that this will be a test to myself that I can stay on track regardless - without any numbers to control my behavior.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

exactly. I cant stand it when I think of how I waited until I weighed first thing in the morning to be able to tell what kind of mood or how I would feel for the rest of the day. If I had lost I'd feel great and have a great sense of accomplishment and feel proud of myself. If I hadnt lost Id just feel kinda "blah" and heaven forbid but the mornings when Id go up a lb, ooh, Id feel horrible all day and feel like I was getting no where. Thats ridiculous!

I DECIDE HOW I FEEL NOT THE SCALES!

This challenge is gonna be so good for me. In fact, I may decide to do it all over again right after the 22nd (after weighing at least once of course, hahaha i am not THAT strong.) Especially if I have had a nice drop of a few lbs.

Seeing a nice drop of 3-5 lbs all at once would be WAY better than weighing everyday and watching the scale bobble up and down sending you on an emotional rollercoaster until you eventually see the loss. I had been getting better though right before the challenge. The last 1 lb increase I saw didnt ruin me for the whole day. I told myself, its just water weight and its normal. It worked too! I still knew I was loosing and was on my way to goal. I think this is only gonna help.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

Wow! Lots of ways to think about putting that scale up! I did weigh this morning only because I didni't get to yesterday and I needed to know what my starting weight was It really hasn't bothered me too much - this is day one. I do like the fact that it keeps me on track and legal and it no longer dictates my mood!

I don't like the fact that this means I'll have to stay on induction for 2 more weeks because without my scale I cannot see if it's going down as I add back foods. Then again.. induction will do me good

Whoo hooo. I feel great!

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

The scales isn't by biggest addition, it's my Keto-sticks. I check them several times a day. I'd go crazy without them, especailly since I'm on the intro. phase. I need to see that color turn pink. My hardest time of the day for weighing is morning. I usually weigh myself first thing in the morning before any food or water and with no clothes That way I know the numbers I'm seeing, is really just me. So once I eat, I have no desire to get on them. Sorry guys, but I'm winning this challenge!!
