    Ongoing Scale Free Challenge

    At this challenge you are to pledge how many days you want to stay off the scale. Be it 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 30 or more. This is meant to keep you accountable from stepping on the scale every day.
    You are to check in periodicly to let us know how you're all doing.

          Re: Ongoing Scale Free Challenge

          Hi Sherri,

          I didn't know you were doing this challenge, too. I've been looking for a similar challenge as the "Weigh? No Way! Challenge #5". Since that ended Sunday, I haven't looked at a scale since Saturday because I remember reading that there was going to be a new challenge up and I was looking for this one. Cool!

          I've been scale free on Sept - 21, 22, 23 and 24. I pledge to do it for 14 days. So do I need to do a new starting point today or could I do it from Sunday the 21st? I had gotten used to not seeing a scale for so long, I liked the idea and I'm adapted to it.

          I'll be going to the doctor's tomorrow and it's very easy to not look at the scale, the nurse doesn't usually tell me how much I weigh. My doctor will understand that I don't want to know what my weight is.
          THANK YOU

            Hi Cindy,
            Great to see you here! Yes, by all means, keep your scale free days and keep racking them up. GOOD FOR YOU!!!
            I know what you mean about adapting to being scale free. I must of gotten on mine a few times yesterday before it got put back up. Thinking to myself"Girl you still have a serious issue with this scale" LOL.
            Glad you joined the challenge. I look forward to watching your success.

              Re: Ongoing Scale Free Challenge

              Scales are EVIL! My gym is going out of business at the end of the week and I'll be transferring to another; so I'll probably have to weigh in there next Monday. After that, however, I don't intend to weigh myself again until OCT. 31 (as the Halloween Challenge wraps up).

              Thanks for continuing this Challenge, Sherri!

                        Wow. Hardly had that #5 WNW challenge come to an end, that I found my scale addiction headed for FULL SCALE RELAPSE!! (It didn't help that the numbers have continued to go in the right direction, either!) LOL

                        Anyhow, since it is Wednesday, I hereby resolve to Weigh on Wednesday, next week, and not before. Here's to my recovery!! I now am at 171 and it's 11:30+ pm!!!
