JANUARY No Weigh Challenge!!!

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

Hi Ayria,

You're right the scale is evil, but also cunning. Mine seems to have edged itself out ever so slightly from under the chest of drawers where I kept it and I keep looking at it. Pathetic! I was going to instruct my BF to hide it, but now I kind of want to prove I can do it even though it's right there. Perhaps this is foolish...

BTW I was thinking of having a mini-goal for March 11th too - it's my b-day. I think I'd like to be at 178 by then. Frankly I'd be so happy to be in the 12 stone bracket that I'll probably weep with joy and ruin my birthday Best of luck with your goal too

Haha, that's really cool Baarb! He's only going to be 22 though, what a baby huh? I originally set that goal for my birthday, Feb 2nd, but my mathless brain somehow thought Jan-Feb was 2 months, not really 1, lol. Oh ya, my scale snuck out of the bathroom cabinet too, but now that I have done my weigh in I will banish it back to the depths of heck where it belongs!

Ladies, I think your scales are possessed. Banish? Sounds like they need to be exorcised!

January 5, 2007: DAY 5

Here's your SCALE SCOFF for the day, 1/5/07:

THE BLONDE SCALE

At a pharmacy, a blonde woman asked to use the infant scale to weigh the baby she held in her arms.

The clerk explained that the device was out for repairs, but said that she would figure the infant's weight by weighing the woman and baby together on the adult scale, then weighing the mother alone and subtracting the second amount from the first.

"It won't work," countered the blonde woman. "I'm not the mother, I'm the aunt!"

Normally today would have been my weekly weigh-in...and it was really tempting to hop on that scale. I eyeballed it each time I was in the bathroom. After 2 weeks of being static, I KNOW I've lost weight, I can feel it...and curiousity is a killer! But I DIDN'T hop on. I just cursed it silently. I didn't want it to hear me--that would probably make me gain weight...

Tracie515 - Thanks, but won't you try it? See if you can join us, I dare you! Most* of January has gone *ok that's a lie, but nearly 6 days

Ayria - you've got yourself a boy toy, huh? I'll be 25 which seems like a proper age suddenly.

Adena - I've figured out the mystery, my BF has been secretly weighing himself (he's on a new year's health kick, though only got 14 lbs to lose ) and wasn't properly shoving the scale out of sight, so I can call off ther exorcism!

Juli - lol and well done on not weighing even on normal way day. I guess having been weighing myself twice a day that's one hurdle I don't face.

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

Baarb, good to hear it. Though it would have been a good excuse to stab it with a stake.

Today was also my official weigh day. See, Baarb, I weigh EVERYDAY, but only am allowed to count it (change my signature) on Fridays. So, since I couldn't weigh (Julie, I don't know how you keep looking at your scale everyday -- put the dumb thing away!), I did my measurements instead, and I've lost 3.5 inches since last week! See, ladies, we don't need no stinkin' scales!!

I look at it and keep it out because it's like a military tactic...know where your enemy is at all times.

January 6, 2007: DAY 6

Here's your SCALE SCOFF for the day, 1/6/07:

A young playboy took a blind date to an amusement park.

They went for a ride on the Ferris wheel. The ride completed, and his date seemed rather bored.

"What would you like to do next?" he asked. "I wanna be weighed," she said.

So the young man took her over to the weight guesser. "One-twelve," said the man at the scale, and he was absolutely right.

Next they rode the roller coaster. After that, he bought her some popcorn and cotton candy, then he asked what else she would like to do.

"I wanna be weighed," she said. He really latched onto a square one tonight, thought the young man, and using the excuse he had developed a headache, he took the girl home.

The girl's mother was surprised to see her home so early, and asked, "What's wrong, dear, didn't you have a nice time tonight?"

"Wousy," said the girl.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Well today I didn't have an urge to hop on the scale, because I remembered that I can measure myself to see if I've made progress. After checking my measurements, I've lost 3.25 inches! And that is since last week. I am quite confident things are working, otherwise, why would I be shrinking? And NO I did not wash myself in hot water and then throw myself in the dryer.

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

Hehe, cute story Juli. I wish I could fit in the dryer, or at least had one that worked =P. for some reason we've hauled the same broken washer and dryer around to 3 different places now and never fixed them, or bought new ones like we really, really should. These puppies are so old I think their electrical pplugs don't even match the "new" modern ones o_O. I'm going to measure tomorrow or monday, I'll have to log onto my tracking site and see what day I did it last first, hehe.

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

I know Ayria, I always forget about measuring. It's just something that never crosses my mind. I think because it's awkward and oh my gosh I would HATE to see what I look like doing it, standing there, craning my body down to look at a silly green tape measure clinging to my dimpled thigh.

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

Hi, my name is Amy...and I SUCK! This morning, in my totally I-stayed-up-way-too-late-last-night-writing daze....stumbled into the bathroom and WEIGHED MYSELF! @#$%%@
So I will here withdraw from this challenge. Because apparently my sleepy subconscious i too weak to let go of the scale. I will however put the scale AWAY (as in, not accessible) for the rest of the month.

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

We will just be forced to beat you with a wet noodle!

Even if you put it away from now on and don't weigh, I still consider you a success! This challenge is all about banishing our scale demons and freeing ourselves from the indentured servitude of the scale, NOT being perfect!

STAY IN THE CHALLENGE! STAY IN THE CHALLENGE! STAY IN THE CHALLENGE!

[Chasin2Kids]

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

I will continue on for the rest of the month, but I feel like a big cheater. When the boys are done "resting", we will think of a great place to hide the scale.

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

Juli that was a cute joke, thanks.

[Adena]

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

Okay, I'm sometimes a little slow, but I didn't get that joke...

Julie, congratulations on the 3 1/4 inches -- that's awesome! I can't claim that weighing didn't cross my mind this morning, but I think it's letting go of its evil grasp on me. NOW, it's measuring again that I'm eager to do! I wanna lose 3.5 more inches. Think I can do that every week??

Chasin, I'm with Julie... stick with us! Get the boys to hid that thing -- you CAN do this!

[julirama723]

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

Adena, really? The girl wants to get WEIGHED...and the mom asks how the date was, she replies "WOUSY!" She says her "L"s like "W"s.

Oh my gosh!
