1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

To my SWA (Scale Watchers Anonymous)friends,

Thanks Barbde for your welcome...notice I did my last weigh- in .

Oh Silly... Scale watchers anonymous is great! When I signed in today I was thinking... I had my last weight in before I joined this thread today. That's just like an alcoholic who's had their last drink before they get sober. I think that analogy is great! Then, I read your message. Your hubby is right Silly. That's exactly what I told myself. If I am true to the program, which I know I can do, then I have nothing to worry about! So, my concern is only that I have good days with this WOE ... I can watch how my clothes fit. And, maybe if I'm lucky, I will have a good weigh-in on August 9th.
Of course, I want to weigh-in 10 times a day right now

Saty - I'm so glad that you're taking the plunge too! Where's Joy? I hope she join's in!

Tru2mee - funny, my last weigh-in was today!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Joy will join I'm sure. She's out of town, but I think maybe on her way back! Most of us need to take it minute by minute. Dontcha think it's nice to know we all feel the same way about the scale?

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Yep... I think mine needs to be hidden!

I'm going to have Jimmie weigh for me... that's it - she's my stand in for the week!

She has the secret... that way I'll have a great weight!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Day 5 and I'm still alive!! It's getting harder though, for me. It was a breeze so far. Now I've taken up ketostix LOL. But only once a day, whew.
Sarah, I'm so glad you have a light at the end of the tunnel! Hope it all straightens out for you fast girlfriend!!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Okay...I'm in too. Silly, I really loved what your husband and you talked about...that without the scale, we really have to focus on being committed to other things...like following plan and exercise. I really need to put my focus back on inches and to do that I've got to exercise. I've really gotten highs off the scale for a while...but when I start to exercise it makes the scale go back up...and then I quit exercising. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT THE EXERCISE IS WHATS GOING TO MAKE ME THIN!

I'm going to call my DH this morning and tell him to hide the scale before I get home today...I know he'll do it too cuz he makes this big sigh every time I get on the damned thing. I'm having anxiety about it...but oh well. I really need to refocus.

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Ok, so I was going to post this long thing last night, but I was so tired. I asked DH to weigh me like he used to do with the dogs...weigh holding me and then weigh not holding me. He looked at me and said, "Not tonight Dear, I have a backache" (which was true!)...cracked me up.

Then, I got my calander and counted days until 8/9 weigh in and it was 28. So I started thinking about that Sandra Bullock flick called, 28 days. This challenge is TOTALLY Re-hab!!!!!!!!!!!! DH thinks we should call this thread "Scale Watchers Annonymous"!!!! Hello, my name is Silly and I'm addicted to the scale.

He's a man and all, but sometimes he really surprises me. I asked him that what if I'm up 5 pounds at the end of this challenge (yes, already stressing about THAT too!). He said this should be motive to be honest to my diet and my self respect. Right now the scale is controlling me, I'm not controlling it (therein lies the problem!). He said knowing me, I will go overboard and work even harder to maintain this WOE 150%. I tried explaining that I have been doing that and losing at a rate of 1 lb every other week. So he said, then when this is thru you will have lost 3-4 pounds, which would put me one below goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That said, I'm still having a difficult time of this. Thank you all for your support and for making this thread. I'm truly becoming enlightened....get it???? LOL!

P.S. after this discussion he turned to me and said, you can ask me to weigh you every night if you want to and I won't do it, not even once!

Silly, I think we all have that fear of "what if I GAIN?" But, as your DH said, I am finding myself being more diligent to this WOE. Finding better control, I don't know, it's weird. I just know that IT BETTER WORK LOL.

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

I'm now addicted to Ketostix too! I only have 2 left and I used THREE yesterday! Just a drug substitution.....scale/ketostix! I must get more today. Man oh man, old habits die hard, it's THE FIRST thing I think of on awakening. I do feel thin today, I hope it's not a false feeling, but how would I know?

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Hello, My Name is Saty, I am an addict....I've been clean for 3 days now....

I am also using the ketostix like crazy. Although I hadn't had a positive reading until yesterday. I'm going to limit myself to 1 a day though! Don't want to obsess over something else!

You all are doing a great job!!! Keep strong!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Still scale free!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

Okay. Here goes nothing..... Day 1 of no scale. Weighed in this morning for an official starting point at 232.
See what happens when my baby comes for a visit? I gain 4 lbs... I told him this morning he's not allowed to come back till September. hahaha... Somehow I don't think he's going to listen. I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't really paying attention to what I ate when he was here though.... I enjoyed my bowl of Basic 4 every morning (eek!) and for the rest of the day just kinda went with whatever.
So in more ponderings this morning.. I decided that I'd go back to the basics and start induction over again this morning as well (hey what can I say, it's a day of new beginnings!)
No scale - and full blown induction until I get at least 15 lbs off.
Leaving work early today to hit the gym inbetween jobs for a bit and massively work on some cardio... and then I'll probably go again tonight after I get off (2am) for some weight training.
Now... onto another topic. I went looking this morning for my old "before" pics and I can't find them.. so guess what, I brought my digital camera to work and will take some new "before" pics this morning as well here in my office.
Yep... Guess we can officially call this Day 1?!?

Bye bye scale - hello Ketostix!!! C'mon Ketosis, c'mon ketosis!!!!!

I love those darned things.
It's kinda like hopping out of bed with one lover and straight into another with someone else, isn't it??

Does this make us diet w*ores? lol

Okay... off to take some pics. bah!! Will be posting them on my journal in a bit.

Diet w*ores we are! Geez, with all these social ailments we have...scale addiction, ketostix addiction, diet addiction, ADBB board addiction....it's amazing we're not living on the streets eating out of trash cans behind steak houses!

I think a clean induction is a good idea for you now. So, "today is the first day of the rest of your life"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Visit often so we can you when necessary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

hey hey hey! look !!!!! I made us some official scale w*ore images for our challenge. hahaha

Re: 1 Month No Weigh Challenge!!!

It would be nice if the scales in the office would just disappear. I just have this drading feeling that sooner or later, I will relapse when going to the fridge or the tap. The ones in the bathroom at home I put in the basement, to eliminate any temptation (I hate going to the basement).

When I was on vacation 6-23 through July 4, I did'nt even think about getting on the scales. There weren't any around from the time we left home until we got back. But then first thing next morning, all it took was 1 tiny peek at the scales on the floor to set me literally racing, heart pounding, to get my "fix". After that first one, i just couldn't stop.

Well, so far so good. Day 2. I've admitted I'm powerless. And I'm doing this "1 day at a time".
