sybil, i have you added! welcome to the challenge!

Hi Everyone,

What are you all going to do with your scale during the challenge? Do you have a plan to avoid temptation?

My scale is in the downstairs ladies room at work, so I'm going to force myself to use the upstairs ladies room all week so that it's not staring me in the face.

Does anyone have any creative ideas for those of us that have scales at home?

ah.... let me see..... last time, we took the metal monster to the downstairs bathroom. by the time myjack or i used that room we had already ate, gotten dressed and the day had begun and nobody wanted to weigh after that. lol

i think i'll just shove the scale into the spare room closet where we never go and that will be it. i'll take care of that tonight so there is no temptation or force of habit to keep us from the prize.

I don't have a scale at home, I use the 2 I have at work. To not be tempted, I just will not go to where they are located. I am going to weight myself tonight before I leave to have for a reference point next week.

Is everyone ready to do this???

I'm going to concentrate on exercising and drinking my water!

Hey everyone,

Jimmie 48 thought a little puzzle to keep us occupied may help keep our minds off where we hid our scales!

Try to make as many new words as possible using only the letters in the following phrase:

METAL MONSTER

It's also a contest - whoever can come up with the longest list of words earns a shining star to add to their signature!

You have all day tomorrow and Thursday to build your list, and then post it by no later than noon EST on Friday. (Which for me shows up as 11:00 a.m. on this site for some reason!)

Good luck! (with the puzzle and with keeping away from that scale!)

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

I am kind of lost this morning. The first thing I usually do is step up on the scale. I removed the battery on Labor Day so when I stepped up there it said nothing. I usually use my scale to keep me true to my plan. Now I don't know how I'm doing. I hope I don't have any weight gain at the end of this.

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

the scale went to the spare room last night so it's out of sight.

now look! we have a little contest to concentrate on. are the letters H- A- T- E in the words METAL MONSTER? lolol

getting started on my word list but ya'll have a jump on me this morning!

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

I didn't weigh this morning! But, I really wanted to!!!
This is going to be harder than I thought! I better go take the batteries out right now!!!

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

O.k. Ms. Jimmie, no more jumping on the scale till next week. I ate too many pork rinds yesterday and retaining a lot of water today. So I guess in a way it's good that I won't have to check it until all the water is whoosed out. I even wrote on my journal that I'm hitting those cucumbers really hard for the next week. That really seems to help.

Good luck everyone.
