I propose a new challenge.....to help all of us stop obsessing about being 1 pound up, or 1 pound down.......and having our scales determine our mood for the day. I propose absolutely NO SCALE for 10 days. If you WI at the COD, don't look.........and ask them not to tell you. Let's just focus on staying POP everyday, and doing the very best we can. If you WI on your home scale every day, or many times a day......put it away, in a closet, in a drawer, just anywhere out of sight. I don't think we can officially start the challenge until the slimdown challenge is over.....but I am going to do this. I am very tired of being a victim to the digital readout on my scale. Anyone care to join???

oooh, that's scary. I never thought I was addicted to the scale until I read your post and thought - Oh, how could I ever??? I guess I'm an addict.

WOw - this could be very hard on me. 10 days after the slimdown challenge brings me right up to when I leave for vacation. Wow - panic attack, could I actually do this?????

OK, I'll give it a shot. Yikes.

so.....maybe it should be a 5 day challenge to start with..........what do you think?????

Kim, I'm sure this would be really tough for you, as you are on a big losing streak right now........

ok, and so I edited the title of this twice, and it won't change it on the main LAWL page...so sorry...LOL

LOL - yes, my 'big' losing streak of 4 lbs.... but, yes, compared to my other results....

How about compromising and saying a 7 day challenge. The tightness in my chest just eased a little!

Can we look at the scale today, and then start tomorrow? *bites her nails*

I dunno if I can do this, but I'll try!!

I am in! I do have to WI once a week for the BL Challenge, but other than that, NOTHING!

Ok ladies.......I think we should start it on next Tuesday (I think that is when the slimdown challenge is over).

Ok, we will officially start the scale banning on January 31st to give everyone time to WI after the slimdown challenge Will this work for everyone????

good for me!

GULP!

I'm in! (and yeah, am on TBL challenge, so I might need to WI in the middle of it for their stats, but other than that, I promise to keep away from the scale!!)

I'm a newbie to 3FC who missed out on the Slim-Down Challenge

Totally count me in on the scale ban, I'm sick and tired of seeing the same two number WI in after WI

Are we still on for Wed, ladies? Just wanted to bump this up so we wouldn't forget

I promise to not only not step on my scale but I plan to coat in gasoline, set it afire, throw it out the back door into the snow, then flag down Mike the LAWL delivery guy and ask him to back over it repeatedly with his truck

Count me in too!!! Kristen- you are too funny.
