ebony--make sure you get the graphic to put in your siggy, let 'em know you're one of us!

Right click on the picture, save as "____", upload to photobucket, paste into your siggy!

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

I changed my signature, too, Julie -- good idea.

As for the neat-o graphic, all you actually have to do is copy and paste it. Not sure why that works... maybe I'm mooching off of YOUR photo bucket link?... but it does.

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Yeah you might be...oh didn't something like that happen with 2big? Photobucket deactivated her account because everybody was copying and pasting and accessing her account? Adena, you little identity thief!

Well I was feeling skinny earlier in my khakis, but now I feel like a sausage in these workout pants...they're kind of new...they're the same size as another pair I have, and THOSE are falling off me. GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I didn't weigh myself this morning! The key to not weighing myself is to not hear the alarm and wake up 20 minutes to late. No time!

Sorely tempted to weigh today as feel like no loss whatsoever and want to know where I am so won't feel disappointed on Feb 1st. No inch loss either. But i got dressed extra quick so avoid the scale once more.

Phew...only the 9th?! That's got be wrong.

Great job Baarb!

I am always thirsty for water. I drink some during the night so I keep a two liter bottle of water on my night stand. I try to remember to drink a ton of water before going to the bathroom in the morning. That way I am not tempted to get on the scale because of the weight of the water I just had. Sounds silly probably but it works.

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Yeah,

That's a good idea too, I started doing it, but keep forgetting.

January 9, 2007: DAY 9

Here's your SCALE SCOFF of the day, 1/9/07:

The problem with scales is that they have numbers on them. Silly us! Let's just get rid of the numbers...

Well let me say that I am NOT tempted to weigh today! I am sore from yesterday's superhuman workout. Fitday says I burned over 1000 calories yesterday, and I believe it! Today is a REST DAY. But at least one thing is positive about yesterday's workout--I know I am holding on to SOOOO much water, it would be stupid to weigh myself!

Maggie--tempting as it is to wake up late to avoid the scale, I don't think my boss would approve!

Great job, Maggie and Baarb, on NOT weighing! Keep up the fight against the SCALEEEEEEEEEEE!

Well, let me say I was very tempted to weigh this morning. But I did not! I've been doing so well with my eating and exercising like crazy. I feel thinner, I actually feel wonderful, on top of the world. I guess I don't need the scale to validate this wonderful euphoric feeling I have!

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Well done on not weighing . I was tempted but, in the end decided against it .

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Great job on not weighing, you guys. FG, see -- that's what this thing is all about. You KNOW you're doing well and you feel great about it. But, if for some reason beyond your control the scale were to tell you otherwise, you'd go from euphoria to annoyed. It's about trusting our plan and paying attention to our bodies -- scale be damned.

I LOVE your scale scoff today, Julie. How fun -- I like the animals one. But, I fear I'd be equivalent to a small horse or cow. Of course, that's great motivation to stay off the scale, huh?

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Aren't those cool! I might buy one as a joke, just so I can say, "Oh, I'm weighing as much as Abraham Lincoln today." The farm one is cute too--it would be even better if it made the sounds of the animals...that thing would be mooing at me forever.

Geoff said he bets I'll lose more weight this month than I have in other months simply because I'm not preoccupied with what the scale will say...and I have to agree with him! This is so freeing...not worrying about numbers, just exercising and eating right and drinking my water! But it's only day 9. On day 25 I'll probably be a nutcase, screaming obscenities, asking why it's not February yet.

You have now officialy become the "Weigh? No way!" poster child.

Cool! But if you say that, people will think those are *MY* cankles in that siggy graphic...
