Are you in Scale Hell? Scale Hell Challenge!

Hey Everyone 

I wanted to talk about how we measure our success or lack there of from that little box with numbers.  Yea, the scale    How many of you are in scale hell ?    

I can't tell you how many emails I get or posts I see where someone is doing great with their food, exercising and noticing a difference in their clothes and then when they get on the scale it all goes out the window because the box doesn't register the "right" number for them.    Or I have seen members getting on that box several times a day and think they have gained right after eating    What is up with that?

So my friends, here is my challenge to  you    Take this challenge and by the time we are done you will be out of scale hell  

Get someone in your house to hide your scale, yes you read it right    Have them hide it and no matter how bad you beg they can't give it back to you.  Try it for 30 days, or start it on 2/1 and weigh yourself on 2/28 

I know you are freaking out,   you are saying are you nuts.    But just think of the freedom you will feel, not stressing over did I go up one pound, am I losing like everyone else?  It's that time of the month and I gained what? 

YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE EATING RIGHT, YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE EXERCISING OR NOT.  If you make the right choices the scale will be your friend in 28 days.

If you just can't do it and will jump off a bridge without it, at least give me 2 weeks OK

Come on, I double dog dare ya  Join me in the Scale Hell Challenge. 

Count me in 2 week goal

Count me in 28 day goal

Take care,
Kathy

Hi Kathy. Did you get my email about needing help with my avatar? I keep seeing the old one and everyone sees the new one.

What is up with that?

Thanks
Lucy

Hi Kathy,
Sadly the scale is so much a part of my routine I don't know if I could function without stepping on daily. But in defense of this habit, I had surgery 4+ months ago and it is really exciting to see the numbers move down. It always amazes me , and yet I am eating right and working out just for that , to see the numbers move down.


Hi Lucy,

Same thing happened to me for awhile, then one day my profile showed my newest avatar.

I think it just takes time. By the way your avatar is now gone?

Cathy.

I got you beat!

Get fat enough that you can't use a scale, except at the MD office.

I get my next weight on February 20th.

It will be my first one since Jan. 2nd.

Thats almost 2 months. If I don't lose weight I am going to go out and eat a pizza on my way to Old Country Buffet. So I can eat till I puke then refill.

Hey Dave

I don't know , i think I would be tempted to use two scales, one for each foot. Would that even work?

I am sure your weigh in will be awesome! 


We will need a report from you on the 21st ! So don't you dare go eat pizza and indulge at OCB.

seriously,
best wishes to ya Dave.
Cathy
