Default Re: Semi Annual Weigh? No Way! Challenge #7

and of course, i am in. i really don't have a problem with staying off the scale. my problem these days is remembering to weigh every so often. i'm finding out, one can be as hard as the other to correct.

I'm in. I rarely weigh these days anyway. I prefer going by inches and by the way my clothes fit, and keeping the Blood-Sugar Symptoms Test handy.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Unhappy Re: Semi Annual Weigh? No Way! Challenge #7

Hey there,
I may as well join, too. My damn scale doesn't like me lately anyway!

Past three weekly weigh-ins...-2#, -1#, -0# I am too big to have such tiny losses so early on!!! And I am not cheating either!
