And rolling merrily along. I still have not set so much as one pinky toe on a scale so who knows. I am definitely curious to see what the results will be after my first goal of three months.

*bites nails*

Have a great week, everyone!

M-

I am quite sure you will be pleasantly surprised after 3 months

I admire you though, I have pedged to stay off the scale for today and plan to do so all week but I think that is harder for me than staying program compliant!!

You are doing great

Wow -M...what will power you have!! Up until yesterday, I weighed every day. I promised hubby to say off until at least Friday! It will be hard, but the truth is, if I just live life and work the plan, the weight WILL come off...I shouldn't need a scale to validate me! I'm working on getting past being a slave to the scale. You are an inspiration!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I agree, it is not easy choosing not to weigh myself. Just today I was speaking to GinaBobina about how tempting it is to rush out and get a scale so I know. But honestly, the last time I tried to medifast the scale became my enemy. I became so focused on what the numbers did or did not tell me that I ended up sabotaging myself right back to my old ways.

Being scale free is honestly empowering and truly freeing of some of the stigma associated with attempting to shed those unwanted pounds. I know medifast works and I know that just so long as I work the program, the program will work for me. I dont have any opportunity for negative self recrimination or a failing mentality. All of the ups and downs are taken away from me, by my choice, as this is what works for me.

I truly look forward to finding out what happens in three months when I do step on a scale, its kind of like looking forward to Christmas except in this case it is looking forward to bathing suit season. Trust me when I tell you that bathing suit season lasts a lo-o-ong time when you live in Florida.

I made the choice that this time I was going to get this done. No more looking backwards wishing I would have stuck to it or lamenting how far I have to go. The only one in control of my weightloss is me, so it is time to get it done!

This is my way, and it works for me, even when the urge is there.

Wishing everyone the very best this week and in all the medifasting weeks to come.

I agree that you will keep yourself from being discouraged by not weighing. You will probably be more encouraged by the way your clothes fit as you lose the weight.

Most people want instant gratification so they jump on the scales way too often and get the roller coaster effect depending upon the scales. It is much more gratifying to put on a pair of pants that you wear alot and see that they are too large. Sometimes others notice your weight loss before you do and say something.

Keep up the good work- we are all for you!!!

Congrats on Week 4!! wooohooo!! I still say you have some mucho patience!

I fight every day to stay away from the scale and I am afraid once the new digital one arrives...it's gonna get worse. The scale is a factor in my moods...which is why I really DO try to stay away from it except once or twice a week.

I also, agree with you on not looking back to the past or lamenting about how long it is gonna take. Your gettin R' Done!

Your doing great!
Hugs,
Gina
