Stay Off The Scale Challenge - Final Update (please post your weight loss)

[yasuern]

Hi ALl,

I can't believe this challenge will be over soon. When I have the urge to step on the scale I try on clothes that I have that were snug or small at the start of the challenge and find when I can wear some it stops my need to know my weight! If clothes fit or fit better then the number on the scale means nothing! Hope all are hanging in there and doing well.

It is amzing to think that it is nearly three weeks that we have been on the challenge. At the beginning it seemed to really drag in but now I feel as though the time has just flown by.

Here to another scale free week.

I know that some of my clothes are fitting looser but this definitely comfirms my suspicions...

I'm up to my neck in homework for the class I'm taking...and I obviously have forgotten just what pair of shorts I'm wearing. I run up to use the bathroom and untie the drawstring and slide the shorts down to use the facilities. It wasn't until I'm getting re-dressed that I notice these shorts have a button and zipper beside the drawstring! They slid right off and on with the button buttoned and the zipper zipped!

I would say it's time to go shopping for a smaller size.

9 more days to go.

Wow Laurie ~ That is such a wonderful story. I bet you felt really pleased with yourself and your accomplishments.

Well here we go another Monday on the challenge.

Good luck everyone.

another day, don't know what I weigh. I can't wait to see what it is at the end of this challenge

Whew! Didn't think I was going to be able to report in, because of the "outage". Another week gone and no scale, and I don't really care. Maybe I will only weigh at the doctors office from now on. (ok, maybe not, but we will see )

another day, no scale. Just days to go.

Hi All,


Well another week gone by and no scale!!! I KNOW I am losing if not wgt definately inches cause some of the shorts I wore for my July vacation are TOO BIG! Granted I still have quite a ways to go but I am on the right path!


I stay motivated because all you are so motivated it's contagious! I can't believe we are in our last week. Time has gone by soo fast!


Well continued success to all!

I'm so sorry that I was having technical difficulties the last couple of days and am just able to get on the DIS and post. It sounds like you all have done a wonderful job (as usual) and I'll update the rankings. I don't know why but it seems to me that the closer we get to being able to weigh the more I want to weigh. Silly I know!

Sue - I totally agree with what you said about clothes fitting better or being able to wear a smaller size, then who cares what the scale says!

Minniespal - the month sure did fly by. Look at the great job we have all done!

Sheree - you are a real trooper! Great job and look at how close we are to the finish line.

Hannosmom - I think your attitude is just great toward the scale. I knew this challenge would be good for all of us, helping us to put that scale and the number on it in the right perspective. Great job!

Hi everyone! I think I'm a Lt....I have't weighed myself since July 2nd!

There are days I feel like I'm gaining weight, and days I don't....so I'm real curious to see what the scale says at the end.

I did go out of town - sister's weekend! (I didn't indulge in ANYTHING!) Anyway, I was with my sister's at a store. Well, I (finally) got down to a size 10 clothes and was trying on a pair of shorts.....they were too big! I didn't try on the 8's. I didn't really want the shorts that much, but I also was afraid to struggle in them! Maybe later after a few more pounds!

Ya'll take care and stay strong!

No scale this week. I am amazed that I have stayed off the scale for this long.

 

[neverlandclub]

I did it! Finally made it through a week of no scale! If I can do this week next week will be easy because I will be out of town without a scale! I have gone back to Phase 1- I am determined to finally do a 2 week, cheat free detox, so far- so good. I hope to be pleasantly surprised by a nice big loss at the end of my month. Great work to all of you who are almost at the finish line. I wish I would have started with all of you. But I will no doubt be encouraged by all of your posts when you ladies finally weigh in!

Whoo Hoo to us all!

Check it out a new clippie. Ive been here a month. On the no scale challenge 21 days. That is quite an acheivement for all of us. Yipee. Promote me please to a Lieutenant!
Thank You mamm....

By the way DH & I did pretty good over at Disney this past weekend. We did split a dessert twice. Once on Friday night & then again on Saturday night.
We went to the Millenumem Mall and ate at the Cheesecake Factory and had Salad's and did not have dessert. I was so proud of us...
We ate at Maya Grill I had Salmon and DH had Tilipia and Lobster
then we split a fried cheesecake. Yummy
Then Saturday night we ate at Marakarrash in Morrocco at Epcot. Dh had Lemon Chicken & I had the Lamb. We split a dessert but I forgot what it was called it was a pastry with apples and ice cream.
We did lots & lots of walking. I hope that I didn't gain no weight. But I will never know. He He

Great job everyone! I have to run now but I promise to promote everyone by tomorrow morning.

Keep up the great work everyone!!!! We're in the home stretch now!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

It is Wednesday already .... I can't believe it. I am really pleased with myself this morning. I met a friend for dinner last night and without thinking about it immediately chose all the low calorie options that the restaurant had. Usually when I am on a diet I use the chance of going out for a meal as an excuse to break the diet. Perhaps I am finally re-educating my mind as well as my body.

Just thought I would share this with you all.

Have a great day.

 

[ZerasPride]

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I think I've promoted everyone, please check the list when you have a chance and let me know if your ranking isn't correct.

We are down to our last 7 days (believe it or not). I am so proud of everyone that has participated in this challenge because I know it wasn't easy.

Minniespal - Congratulations on your the mental as well as physical changes you are making! I guess this is what they call a "lifestyle" change, huh? Great job and I'm sure you will be rewarded next week when you weigh in with a nice lose for all your effort.

July - what a beautiful new clippie you have! I am so impressed with how well you and DH did at Disney. The way you described your eating, is how I'm hoping DH and I will be eating when we hit the maintenance phase of SBD.

You are each so inspiring to me and it's so nice to have each others support!

I'm late checking in as usual but I haven't weighed myself since the beginning of the challenge! Does that mean I get promoted again?? WOW!

The scale is truly becoming just another item in the bathroom, and not the focus of my attention.

 

[ZerasPride]

Doe - that's exactly what it means! You are doing so well and I'm off now to promote you up the ranks!!!!

 

[neverlandclub]

Hi all. I am off scale and on day 3 of my second attempt at a cheat free phase 1 for SBD. So far so good. Hubby wants wine so I will have to be strong not to join him. If I can just make it to the weekend I will be without a scale for another week. I just need to make sure I am good while away. I am determined as I will be seeing my in-laws in 3 weeks and they are all skinny as rails and tall! Help!
Good news- I tried on a super tight, low rise pair of jeans last night, size 7 and....... Hubby told me they looked great! They felt great too. Not too tight at all. I am taking them away with me! I hope by the time I weigh in I will have 10 lbs gone, that will leave only 5 more for my goal and a lifetime on phase 3!!! I hope, I hope, I hope!!!!!

Hi to all!
