Re: Semi Annual Board Wide No Scale Challenge

there is one more day to get yourself signed up for this challenge!
we begin sunday, january 21.

no stepping on the scale that day!! i'll send out pm's to each of you as we begin and try to keep encouraging you throughout the 2 weeks.

if you would like, send others in this challenge a note of encouragement. we could all use some good vibes from each other.

use this thread to chat with each other if things are getting rough.

a few of us have stated what we did with our scale. how about the rest of you? anything creative being done with the scale for the next 2 weeks?

Re: Semi Annual Board Wide No Scale Challenge

I'm in... I'm in! I haven't weighed since I started so it's going to be exciting to get on the scale in two weeks!

Re: Semi Annual Board Wide No Scale Challenge

Hey there, just thought I'd check in...... The scale remains in my DH's truck and it is boomin' cold where I live so I am not all that tempted to go get it. Although I am pretty curious about my weight loss. I am on induction for the first two weeks until Monday the 22nd. I know my resistance to weight loss is low since when I last checked I had lost 16 lbs. To tell the truth, I am getting a bit jittery already, wondering if I go to my sisters house or a friends, will I be drawn to their scales? LOL I feel like a scale addict! I don't think about potatoes or bread as much as I have thought about the scale! I guess the truth comes out when the scale is locked away! LOL

Re: Semi Annual Board Wide No Scale Challenge

call you sis ahead of time and tell her to hide the scale. if it's not plain site, there will be no problem!!!

one thing we found out from doing this before, is that members became more aware of what they were eating. you really start thinking because nobody wants to gain. you stay more focused and i'll bet we had more exercising going on, too.

hg, i think you're gonna do great!!!

Re: Semi Annual Board Wide No Scale Challenge

Thanks jimmie! I think I may do that, but to be honest I havent told too many people that I am on atkins, my sis included. Just not ready to hear all of the nay saying. My dh was nearly tortured to death by well meaning advice from friends and family alike, and it is kind of hard for me to deal with that. I get too deffensive and that just isn't good. I'll let the results speak for themselves. Maybe I'll just have to have her over here!

BTW, where can I go on the board to get some advice for women regarding special concerns for women, hormone and cycle issues, and how this affects weight loss? Any help is greatly appreciated.

hg,
so many of us have had that problem of dealing with atkins vs. family/friends etc.
hold your head high and let the results speak for you. i gurantee, if you keep at this, you will have results! here i am at goal and keeping myself away from the things i know will be no good for and my mom and sister are continually on my case about how i eat. in one ear and out the other is the best way to handle them.

for the advice question:
the womens forum iss the best place to ask particular questions. you will need to put "woman" of "female" in your siggy.
