Weigh? No Way! Challenge #1 ~ A Board Wide Challenge

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

Guess what? I really don't mind not weighing myself. I have been a happier person not having my day determined by my weight. Of course, I will be jumping on the scale as soon as this challenge is done to see where I am at.

good for you, val!!! that's what this is all about. not letting the scale dicate the size we are. i'll be right there with ya at the end of the 2 weeks but it's been kinda nice not seeing those numbers. i've paid closer attention to what i have ate so i am expecting to be rewarded in a good way.

my first experience at a no weigh challenge was not too successful. i freaked to see a gain of many pounds. i realize now that it wasn't fat. i was working out, i think barbiebabe had me hooked on a 6wec by then. but boy i must have been holding on to major water! the jimmiedam of all weight gain!! what i have learned since then has helped me get this far.

i feel skiinny today!
still scale free and so is myjack. he would be of course because he can't remember where the scale is.

Yay, Jimmie is having a feeling skinny day. I am too ! I won't weigh myself to confirm it, but it is a nice feeling.

Folks, I seriously think I am getting addicted to those darn keto stix.

I added some new food yesterday and I'd love to step on the scale and see what my body thinks of it -- but I won't!

This challenge is actually a bit harder for me than what I anticipated. I'll get through it!

OKAY EVERYBODY! WE'RE STARTING OUR SECOND WEEK IN THIS CHALLENGE!!

if you have stayed off the scale for 7 days, 8 including today, then you are on track and doing good!
everybody still scale clean? did anybody falter this past week?

anybody want to share a scale junkie story to start off our week?

when i first started losing, i would not even start my day without stepping on the scale. i wasn't losing by leaps and bounds but i could steadily watch the pounds drift off. i didn't ever think i could go without weighing and one day, higgies started a challenge for us. poor guy........... taking on all us girls by himself. most of us stayed honest. i was stressed so bad and i have to say i was not pleased at the end of the challenge. i did see a gain but i have learned much since then. now i realize that i could not have put on fat weight. i was eating right and by that time barbde had me hooked on the 6 wec. i did freak out however. i really have to laugh about it now.

i remember when i started low carbing. officially starting jan 1, 2004. i had gone to walmart to buy a scale and i guess everyone else had the same idea. every cheap scale was gone!!! there were some of the expensive ones and one medium priced and that's the one i got. it's the only scale i have.

1 week down and going strong! Getting a lil tempting cause people keep asking how much I've lost and I tell them....I'm not sure, but I'll let you know next week!
I have a funny scale story too. About 3 weeks ago my mom and I were at the store. They had some cheapy scales and I thought maybe I should retire my 50 year old scale at home. So I get one of the scales and stand on it. I got off of it then got on it again. I picked it up and held it under my arm. My mom asked if I was going to buy it. I said HECK YEAH, every time I get on the thing it says I weigh 121lbs!!!! We laughed for awhile, and I decided not to get it.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

Ugh, I couldn't handle it. I don't know why I did it after the whole week of staying strong, but I needed SOMETHING. My mom's in the hospital, I found out yesterday, and I just needed SOMETHING to tell me life was going ok. I did it and totally wish I hadn't! I lost a whole pound...which makes me upset, but also is a good thing since for two weeks I didn't lose anything. I think it was the hope I needed to keep going without calling Pizza Hut this week when I don't wanna cook!

Here's to starting over with another week and to losing more than a pound
