Re: Semi Annual WEIGH? NO WAY! CHALLENGE #3

OH MY GOSH...That was HARD!
BUT I DID IT!!!!
and I lost.... 3 POUNDS!!! woohooo...now keeping it off is the trick, as this is the same three 2-3 lbs that I keep going up and down with, but I FEEL a bit slimmer, so maybe...

My trick was that I drank a bnch of water as SOON as I woke up...hat way i knew i couldn't get on the scale, cuz i only weigh 1st thing in the mornieng, before all water and food. Drinking the water, tricked me into thinking the scale would read more

Great challenge...and I needed it. Maybe I'll keep it up!
ThAnks Jimmie!

YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT!

Re: Semi Annual WEIGH? NO WAY! CHALLENGE #3

To be honest...I for one am SOOOOOOOOO glad that week is over. It was so hard for me and I'm never doing it again.....well...maybe...hehehe.

I couldn't wait to hop on the scale this morning. I guess maybe the timing isn't right to give up my once daily weighing...(once a day isn't such a bad thing is it...*she says trying to convince herself*)

I started out at 175lbs~~~~this morning I am~~~~174lbs!

Well a pound is a pound. I would have been happy with the same weight I started out with as I truly believe I felt as if I gained.

Congrats to all those who made it though this challenge whether you lost, gained or remained the same. The weight change actually wasn't the challenge here...the challenge was to control yet another addiction so many of us have and to learn to eat to lose weight whether we can weigh ourselves or not.

Time for re-evaluation perhaps.

Then again, so many used muscles they didn't use before and TOM came a visitin, so there are just too many variables to pin point results.

Thanks jimmie for hosting and Wendy for assisting. It was a good experience to have, kinda like sky diving...you do it once to see if you can but never do it again...hehehe

Speedy ~ 8 lbs ~ thought it would be more ~ slow week ~are you kidding me? Awesome!

see there! you did it to. you made it through and lost a pound. it might not be 8 and it might not be 3 but you lost! and you did it without stepping on the scale!

Re: Semi Annual WEIGH? NO WAY! CHALLENGE #3

I have to admit that about a couple of days ago, I was kind of enjoying not having that feeling that I HAD to step on the scale. So....now I'm gonna....hold on...kinda nervous............alright Bad news...I gained 1.5 lbs. But ya know what? I'm okay with that. I didn't cheat, I excercise as normal...so in my opinion, even if I had weighed myself on my regular 2 times a day regime, I would have gained it anyway! and I probably would have been more discouraged and stressed about it. But i'm okay, and I even think that I may try to limit myself to stepping on the scale 3 times a week. Thank you jimmie for this challenge. I very much enjoyed freeing myself from the scale!
