  • Re: Ongoing Scale Free Challenge

    Hi Sherri and all the rest of you fabulous Atkineers!

    Back online and trying to catch up. Also trying not to weigh myself lest I become obsessed about those darn numbers; but the last time I checked, I was still maintaining 150 lbs. and the other day bought a pair of size 10 jeans! Granted, they were stretch denim but they fit, comfortably, so that made me really happy. I keep the size 16s around as a reminder of why I don't really want that cookie!!!

      Okay, so I got another blood test for a lipid profile coming up six weeks from tomorrow .... I pledge not to weigh myself until that Friday, April 24. I'm hoping I can finally nudge the plateau that I've been on since the beginning of the year!

        Well, I have to confess - I weighed, and did not keep my resolution to wait until after TOM. But fer-cry-sakes...TOM decided not to come, AT ALL since then. Never thought I'd know the day I'd wish for TOM to come, but c'est la vie. Unfortunately, the ol' bod seems still to be getting ready for the 'occasion', and though I've been sticking to my guns, the scales were grimly disappointing.

        to the beast!

                  Today was weigh day, down another half a pound from last week. The tape measure is being kinder to me than the scale. I'm happy!

                      Heya,
                      My name is dayana, just found out about this challenge from sherri thank you gal, i really do need this to keep me going.

                      Im currently on extended induction and ive had no weightloss for the last 3 weeks and it was irritating me and causing me to lose my motivation, so anyway here i am.

                      I got on the scale today it read 182.4 pounds and i promise not to get on the scale at home or in the gym for the next two weeks starting tomorrow. So next weigh in date is 9th April 2009.

                      Looking forward to get to know the rest of you on this challenge.

                      Di

                        Hi Guys

                        I am finally in agreement that it's best to stay away from the metal monster!!

                        I am going to weigh in tomorrow and then stay off the scales for two weeks. It will be a challenge but then that's what this thread is for Do we sign in daily?
