Welcome Kati3!!Hmm holding your arms out...now that's one i HAVE to try! Anything to defy gravity!! Glad you joined us! We're a fun group and love new addicts. Hope you stay with us for a while!

Ktna CONGRATS on your VICTORY!!!!!YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Keep up the great work!~!!! Anohter day down and no stepping on the scales!! You are stronger ever day...Keep up the great work!!!

Good Morning Leanne and Tulip!!! Sounds like you ladies had a busy, busy weekend. And I lOVE the idea of closing eyes and no calories...did that work for the Choclate bars, Tulip? Leanne, I hope you enjoyed the cake!! You are always allowed to treat yourself. Not good to deprive.

Well, ladies....I am finding by getting on here first thing as soon as I get up keeps me from hopping on the scales so far. Eating was good until last nite...too much pasta and then too many taterchips. But will make up for today. I've been walking back and forth to work now that the weather is nice so I know I'm burning some extra calories here and there.

Gonna be a wee bit chilly again today and no quite in the 50s...but sunny anyways!! WOOHOOl have a great day everyone and see you all tonite!!

I just had to post because I am a bigtime scale addict. I even try and wait to weigh until my fiance is in the shower or still asleep so that he doesn't know how often I weigh myself! Like, rationally, I know it doesn't make any difference, and I know how much it fluctuates, and I'm pretty sure my scale is crap anyway, BUT.....it's like psychologically I think that if I'm not WATCHING the number, it will magically creep up, powered by some evil force bent on sabotaging my efforts!

Wow.

lol Anyway, I'm 23, and heading toward losing about 100 lbs (I'm 235, 5'5" at the moment). I'm doing the whole Weight Watchers thing which is working for me so far, 2 weeks into it. I weigh in once a week there so I think I am trying to cut out weighing at home cold turkey. Yep. You've seen it here folks, I just quit cold turkey. This is day numero uno that I will NOT weigh at home. Well, I mean, of course I weighed this morning before I left for work, but.. gah.. you know what I mean! lol I challenge you all to not weigh for an entire 7 days (starting now... lol)

Days I have not graced the scale with my presence
1/7
Woohoo!

Nice to meet you all and see you lighter!
-DD

OK, so I got on the scale today.
Ooops.
Well, my husband got on and lost 1.5 lbs so I thought maybe, just maybe I might see a loss too. Nope.

0/7 days without scale.

Welcome DD!!! Congrats on joining WW and your goal!! I know you can do it!! Hellooooo KTnA! Glad to see you back...I too accept the challenge...So I'll Start from Yesterday too since I didn't go near the dreaded scales!! So this will be day 2!! Meet you gals at the podium so we can get our medals!!!

Tulip and Leanne!! Hope you ladies are finding your way to the scales slowly or not at all! I see we're missing a few poeple...hope everyone makes their way here to post!@!

See everyone later or tomorrow!!

Wooo! I did it! Day numero dos away from el scalo. Thanks for taking up my challenge, ladies! And thanks for the warm welcome, Hotsplashes!

So, I'm tres excited about getting new numbers tonight (3rd WW meeting). Any of you ladies (and/or gentlemen) on the Weight Watchers program? Yesterday Kevin (my fiance) and I registered for our wedding at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It was sooooo much fun! We got to point the little gun at things and decide what we wanted to go in our apartment, and dream about having a house some time in the future. I love him so much!

Well, I need to get my crystal lite packet into my water bottle and shake it all up before the kids get here (I'm a band director). I'll probably check in later. I'm looking forward to getting to know all you folks!

See you lighter!
DD
237/235/135 (WI tonight! woohoo!)

2/7 days - I have NOT stepped on my scale - Go me!

Got on the scale again today.

0/7 AGAIN. I think I might ask my husband to hide it. Somewhere I can't reach.

Congrats on the registering, that is one of the most fun things to do when you get married. My husband even had fun, and he really didn't like planning the wedding.

Hmmm... I should have read that scale challenge earlier. Of course, it's such a habit now that I practically sleep walk to the scale these days. It's weird since before I was dieting, I never even owned a scale, and now I obsess about it.

Hey everyone, I am totally FAILING any scale challenge, but I did only weigh myself Once in the morning and once before bed yesterday so that is a start.

Yesterday I went running and I ran 8km in 1 hour--- YAY YAY YAY, that is my longest run so far since having my daughter...so I can only get better at it! Fingers crossed that I will be ready for a 10km race by the end of May....best part is, I am not SORE today....makes me very happy!

I have to take my oldest son for a needle today- he HATES needles...lol, so I see I will have to find a way to bribe him...looks like he may get a big truck or some kind of toy out of me ..lol....(I guess a trip to the dollar store doesnt quite make up for having to trick him into getting a needle)...wish me luck, this could be an EVENT...hahaha

Happy Thursday to everyone, hope it is sunny where you are!

YAYYYy for DD!!! And YAYYYY for KTNA and Michelle for Posting today!!! It's all in the mind ladies...my late brother used to love the saying...if you don't mind, it don't matter...so don't mind the scale...put it somewhere where you can't easily get to it...then forget out about it!!! Come post on here instead!

Hay Leanne...8k!! WOOHOOOOO you rockin' mommie you!! You'll be ready!! I know you will!!

Today has been really good for eating! And no urges for sweets or chips...walked to and from work today...barely any noticable limp...sooooo I'm getting there...no running yet...but that'll come in no time...

Keep up the great work folks and I'll see everyone in the MOrning!!!!!!

SO FRUSTRATED! I worked out a lot yesterday so I thought today should be a good day for the scale. But NO. Stupid thing just wont move.

I MUST leave it for 7 days, I can't stand the feeling when I get on and nothing happened.

After 7 days I will do the body fat scale instead, hopefully I will see SOMETHING.

I did it! I woke up and ate breakfast without weighing myself first. Hopefully I can keep off the scale an entire day, but even skipping the morning was a big step for me.

Out of curiosity, how do body fat scales work? I mean, how do they "know" what your body fat is rather than just your weight?

I think they send signals through your body, you stand on metal plates. I think the signals react differently to muscle versus water and fat.

Hi Guys!!!
Well i've missed posting for a couple of days as i've been busy, so have come to this no scales challenge a bit late...I won't kid my self though my score would still only be 0/7...oh well i'll do my best!
Michelle - were from the same mould you and me...i wander out of bed with my eyes shut straight towards the scales...it's an unbreakable habit. I put them away in a cupboard once (on HS advice i think!) but they kept calling to me every time i walked past the door!! hehehehe!!

Well done for joining WW DD, my friend as lost over 5 stone using that program. so way to go, keep up the good work and you will see results.

Leanne, i've just looked at your photos...WOW what a difference, you must feel amazing...coz you certainly look it!!! What a beautiful smile you have, and your little girls is adorable! I have posted my old before and after pictures up...i'm going to try and find a recent one.

Have a good weekend girls..i'll try really hard to pop in over the weekend, but between work and sleeping theres not much time left...especially when my 3 DD's are always hogging the pc!

Don't forget to eat well and weigh less!

0/7 days without weight myself!! :-(


body fat sclales? They sound interesting!

Tulip- I am blushing, thanks for the kind words...(the amount of money my parents and my hubby have spent on my teeth they should be GOLD or insured...lol)

Happy Friday to everyone....I am a scale fail-er...I have weighed myself at least 3 times today.....what can I say I AM A SCALE ADDICT.

My mom and my cousin are coming up for a few days, I am looking forward to it! Should be FUN!!

Happy day everyone!
