Hey Everyone 

Well it's been almost 4 weeks since we committed to getting out of Scale Hell...  How did you do?

If you are able to get on the scale everyday and the scale is a positive tool for you then this challenge was not for you. 

I found this to be an interesting challenge for me.  After about 2 1/2 weeks I was dying to get on the scale.  My clothes felt good and I had lost inches, so I just knew I had done really well but for some reason that was not enough.  I needed that number on the scale to put the exclamation point on my "success".  Why?   Years of conditioning......the scale was the end all for how I was doing in my weight control.  My DH didn't cave and didn't give me the scale.  

Low and behold the feeling past and now I really don't care what it says come the end of the month.  I am feeling good about what I did, what I accomplished and now the scale will be an additional tool in my new life style...not the indicator of how my day will be, not the "only" indicator of success or failure 

Thanks for joining me 

Now come and join me in the Get Your Sexy Back Spring Challenge  

Take care,
Kathy S

I'm staying off that ugly scale. I go by my clothes now. Clothes don't lie. Scale doesn't tell the whole story. All of a sudden my arms and back have muscle defination. My angle wings are melting and under my belly is a 6 pack! No plastic surgery for me. I'm comfortable in my own skin and will wear support panties instead. HA!!
Actually with all this exercise my body really doesn't look bad and no one is going to see me naked except the girls in the locker room and my wonderful husband!
My body looks excellent in clothes if I do say so myself!! (Patting myself on the back, oh yeah, I can reach that now!!)

Yep, for those that need that scale to keep them honest and on track, then it's a must for you. For people like me, my clothes keep me on track. Size 8 is good for me!
