I put the scale away...

[DoomBuggieDriver]

Today I threw the scale in the cabinet. I was jumping on every day, at least once a day, as I passed by, and it was getting ridiculous. If it's in the cabinet I have to work to take it out, so don't bother. I am going to use it once a week to keep up with the No more Foolin Around challenge, and that is it!

Ahhh, freedom

Good for you! I was starting to do the same thing until I had one bad week and then another. I haven't gotten on the scale in 2 weeks! I am scared to! I am going to get on tomorrow morning to see what kind of damage I have done. I don't think that I have gained anything back, but I am still scared. I hate the darn scale. I am trying to judge myself by the way that my clothes fit. I keep trying on my skinny jeans and they seem to be looser in the legs. Although, with my luck the only thing I have accomplished is to stretch them out!

Good for you! I became obsessed with it and weighed myself everyday and found that it dictated my day! Not a good thing!

Now I realize that my weight WILL fluctuate no matter what I do and that the long run is what really matters. It took alot of stress off of me and allows me to enjoy this WOE!

Good for you!! We don't need some stinking scales dictating our progress!!
My husband had to hide our scale from me. I was getting on it sometimes 4 or more times in a day. He got them out for me for my weekly weigh-in, but I asked him to hide them again so that I'll stay off them. They drive me crazy.

I admit I am addicted to the scale! I did not weigh myself for year's and sometimes refused to let my doctor weigh me for my annual. I think no weighing is as bad as weighing daily (or more).

Right now I am addticted to the scale! I weigh EVERYDAY! I was weighing in 2-3 times per day (NOT GOOD). I gained the last 2 weigh ins at WW, but this week I should be back down. So, I have been hovering for weeks around the same weight. I did start going to Curves, so I will try to let the tape measure and Body Fat Index help be my guide.

I am not ready to give my scale up I still have 20 pounds to go!

Congratulations on your new found freedom! Is it kinda like burning your bra during the Sixties?

I had to break my addiction to the scale. The bloat fairy was driving me crazy. I prefer using a tape measure to guage my progress. It's such a liberation
