Can anyone explain the stay off the scale....

Hi to all

I am new to this particular board and am very interested in joining in........

What is the stay off the scale challenge? How does it work? And how do you join?

Just got back from Disney World yesterday and that was a rude awakening for me. I have never weighed this much before and found myself struggling to keep up with my family. Also have osteo arthritis in the knees and let me tell you the added weight did not help....

SO HELP PLEASE!! I think it would be great to have support from fellow Disney lovers.

Thanks!!

One WISHer (Zeraspride) was battling her tendency to weigh herself every day (sometimes several times a day) and to let the number on the scale dictate how she felt about herself.

She decided to stay off the scale and not weigh herself for a full month and invited other WISHers to join her.

Sadly, the challenge is over.

However there are always challenges going on here. There's an exercise challenge - I'm going to exercise 1000 minutes during the month of August. There's a Labor Day weight loss challenge too. Just find the thread and post to it.

I'm sure you'll find lots of ways to join in here!

Welcome to the WISH board!!

Chris - like Doe mentioned, that was a challenge I started because I was so frustrated with being a slave to the scale and it ended on August 4th. It took a lot of will power to not weigh for such a long time and I don't know if I could do 30 days and not weigh again. It was hard! I'm glad I did it though. Like Doe, I joined the 1000 minutes of exercise in August challenge and I'm part of the Labor Day challenge trying to lose 10 pounds by Labor Day for me and I've lost 7 of those 10 pounds so far.

WISH is a great place to get inspiration and support. The best way to get it is to post often. Maybe consider starting a journal. There is a journal board here too and WISHers are wonderfully supportive of each other's journals. It also keeps you accountable of what you eat and how much you exercise.

We would love to support you to your goal so jump right in and participate along with us all!
