weekly scale challenge

Happy Monday to all of you...

I want to start a scale challenge...this is for all of you (including myself ) that get on that scale more then once a week...

Today I have made the challenge to myself to only get on it every Monday morning..

As of this morning my weight is 229

This is a great way to not obsess with what the scale reads through out the week if I have some challengers to do it with me

Next weigh in Monday 7/27

Any takers??

I was just reading this post from start to finish

Since July 19th I have lost 9 pounds. I'm very happy with those results. I really believe this scale challenge has helped me!! Without it I do no think I would have lost the 9 pounds .It definately keeps me accountable to more then just myself

Darcy- you too have done an awesome job since starting this weekly scale challenge. Keep it up girl!

Sassy - glad you found this post , I hope it helps you as it has helped me. I was addicted to the scale, getting on it daily.

AND

Congratulations to everyone else who is staying off that scale all week long and losing weight!!! :D

I lost one pound this week, bringing my weight loss to a total of 16.5 pounds.

I went back to Curves this morning (yeah!) and I've lost a total of 9.25 inches! This includes 1.25 from my bust, 3.25 from my waist, 2.5 from my abdomen, and 3.75 from my hips! Some how I gained in my thighs, thou! The assistant did say that perhaps the measurement was off on my first visit, as it seemed unlikely that I would have put on inches in my thighs and lose everywhere else! It's not like I've been working out enuf to have new muscles!

Clothes all fit the same; that's gotta give soon!

Michelle, thanks for keeping this going. Maybe it will help for me to put this in writing since I was going to keep it a secret. But I had an OUT OF CONTROL weekend... actually, every weekend this summer was out of control.

I'll take this weekly challenge and only weigh on Mondays. My fifty pound loss has gone with the wind. I'm up many pounds today. See stats.

I'm gonna stick with this weekly Monday weigh in. Maybe it will make me shape up on the weekends, which are my big problem.

Today 268

Mondays work for me for that exact reason Lisa..it keeps me focused through out the weekend, weekends are the easiest to lose control since hubby and kids are home, we go out to eat more. I look forward to my Monday weigh ins..

2 lb. gain - Yipes!

Got the Crud, felt crummy, didn't exercise, ate too much soft foods.

O.K., new week, fresh start.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!

COngratulations Michelle!!! You must be on cloud nine! WTG!!!

Marie... fantastic tude! I hope you feel better soon!

I went from 222... to 221.8... I guess I'll be happy that it was a loss in the smallest form! I don't think I have been overeating... and I was pretty active... BUT... yesterday... everything I ate was loaded with salt. Soooo... quite honestly... I don't think I will be able to keep myslef from weighing again this week. I just need to see those numbers go under 220... need to see it badly! I am having a HUGE craving for a Snickers bar and I am not a big candy eater... wonder what that's all about!?!?!?! THe only thing stopping me is that my need for seeing the numbers go under 220.

Hope everyone has a good week...

Darcy

OK I weighed on Saturday the day before my birthday and had put a goal while on vacation of getting under 250 by my birthday Sunday the 5th.

GUESS WHAT??? I did it. I weighed 249 on the 4th. I am so thrilled and being on Vacation that is awesome for me. WHOOO HOO!! What a great birthday gift to myself.

THat makes 47 lbs for me so far.

Here is a pic at the beach with a girlfriend of mine.
