Thread: How long can you go?

Without weighing?

I'm one of those who weighs daily, or even several times a day, and today I've decided to give it up. I'm fed up of seeing a number I don't like every morning and letting that dictate how well I behave throughout that day. I've not weighed myself today and I've got my hubby to hide the scales tonight.

Who's joining me?

I did the Dukan diet for two weeks ending last week and I started weighing myself every day and it's a habit I dont think I can break now!

If I got my OH to hide my scales I may never get them back lol but id like to get back into the habit of only weighing myself twice a week at the most!

I've actually been really good this week- I haven't stepped on any scales since last tuesday's weigh in!

I went six months without weighing at all - doing it from home.

totally off topic- but omg you beat my score on pancake tosser?

oh you are so on!!! :P

i do sw at home too and i weigh myself every three months (the last sat) my next is the end of march

I weigh in once a week. I'm so tempted to do more, but I know I would be disappointed by any daily fluctuations, so I try and be good!

Depends on how good I think I have been if I have been good I tend to not bother, but if I have been bad I start to panic the closer it gets to weigh in. Then I am obsessive on the scales and have even resorted to weighing my own clothes to find the lightest possible option!!

I to can relate to weighing cloths lol, I used to step on the scales morning, lunch after having a wee and going to bad, if i did not like what I saw then that would ruin my day and end up eating what I like.

Now I weigh on the Monday morning at home and then go to the meeting in the evening (can't go to the meeting with not knowing lol)

thanks for your answers. i think its going to be harder than i thought, but im determined to go as long as possible. I was thinking monthly, but even just once a week would be progress for me.

I've found it hard to stay away from the scales and have been averaging at once a day. (I started two weeks ago.) My hubby has suggested that I have a mid week weigh at home and then wait until group with the hope that I can go a full week without weighing at home eventually! I think it's all about gaining confidence in the plan. If I'm doing it right then I shouldn't be worried about group weigh in!

I know that serial scale hoping just messes with my head and my mood so the only scales I use are once a week at class. It really isn't worth the upset for me so I steer clear of the ones at home. I have been known to be one them every time I nip to the loo

I decided at the beginning of this that I would only weigh in at group, if I saw I had a gain on the day of weigh in I probably wouldn't go and that threw me off the wagon last time, this is it for life now for me and I hope it'll just need to be once a fortnight when I'm at target.

As long as possible... I generally do my best to avoid scales so the weekly weigh at class is always a terrifying thought

I weigh everyday at different times and get fed up with what I see but I just can't not look!!
But only ever count my slimming world weigh in as my guide!!
Need to get rid of the scales I think!
