Default "Scale Whores" Unite"

Okay.. so Deborah and I have decided we're going to challenge ourselves to go an entire week without weighing ourselves, due to our massive annoyance with our stalls/slow weight losses.

So, beginning Monday June 2, while everyone else is posting their weight loss numbers, we're going to ignore the scale until the following Monday, June 9.

Any and all are welcome to join us in this, what will be a real challenge for us.

(and two more days to get to the 230's before then! LOL)

--- Since numbers were suggested, here are the official numbers so far.. I'll add more if more want to join in on our Challenge to dump their scales!

I go to "my" clinic every Tuesday morning before work to weigh in... the ladies at the desk just wave me through, and every few weeks ask me how I'm doing... It sure puts a "bounce" in my step each Tuesday a.m.!

No scale in our house... this has been my routine since surgery 16 weeks ago!

NO we do NOT weigh in on Monday, June 2nd. We can weigh in the day before, but starting Monday it must be put away somewhere.. I'll give mine to Michelle (my daughter Michelle, not Duckie ) to hide for a week.

Deal?

Woooowwwww!

I am super impressed and really happy for you guys!
Tell you what ... I would love to sign up for this crusade. I'm not a scale whore, but I am a pretzel whore! I promise to not eat one single pretzel for the entire week as long as you guys don't weigh yourselves. I've gone from eating pretzels 3 times a day to 3 times a week. I think I'm actually ready to take the plunge with you two!

So, can I join?!

You're In!

Anyone who has a vise they need to give up, feel free to join us for a week off!

The more the merrier.. I just hope I can be as calm about the scales as you've been.

COOL!!!


And by the way ... just because I'm not worried about the scale right now doesn't mean I'm stress free!!! In fact this afternoon was my first appointment with a new psychologist. He seems really great and I'm hoping to use him as a sounding board to help me work through a lot of my 'issues'. I see him again Monday and I'm even gonna tell him about my new anti-pretzel mission.
Thank you Mistyme and Deb!
