SOS = STAY OFF SCALES

Every time I get on the scale, I go bat crap crazy. 

It's down a pound then it's up three pounds. Then, the next morning I am down two. 

I go to the gym 5 times in a week and an devastated to find I have GAINED weight. 

The one at the gym weighs heavier than the one at home so that double-depresses me.

I have tried to keep it to one weigh-in a week, but even that is making me nuts. I have come to realize that the only way I can retain my sanity is to avoid it COMPLETELY. So, I am challenging myself to stay off the invention for Satan - all of them, home and away, for the entire month of March.

If any of you feel the same way, feel free to join me. Today is day four, and I am starting to twitch.

LOL.  I am trying hard to keep weigh ins to once a week.  I never weigh myself except first thing in the morning on my scale.  When I go to the dr. I don't even worry about what weight that is.  I went through a phase of getting on the scale everyday and I went bonkers.  Good luck in avoiding the damn scale!

I will do this challenge also.  I am in the same boat.  Eating healthy ,  doing Zumba four times a week and havent lost a single pound in  2 1/2 weeks .

I am so upset by this and when I get this way I get myself off track and do things I shouldnt be doing .

Good luck! I couldn't do it.

But it is OK for me because, bizarrely, although I have a compulsion to weigh every time I see a set of scales and I love a downward movement, I don't get obsessive about not having lost. I just say #%*}* and move on quite happily. I suppose it is something to do with always hoping I might have lost but never expecting I actually will have done!

Hope it works for you! Best wishes! Kate

To make it worse, I gave up chocolate for lent, so it is going to be one L-O-N-G month.

Bette, here  is a flash; we have always known you are "bat crap crazy"  but we love you anyway.My weight always acts like that so I don't get too excited unless I go up more than 3 pounds. Now, as for you giving up chocolate for lent; what were you thinking? My word woman are you suicidal? Let us know if you can do both things but I sure don't intend to. No chocolate? Bull pucky! No scale? Nope, mine only lies to the doctor, he thinks I am about 4 pernds heavier than I am. Poor deluded man.
