I'm doing a 30 day #noscale #noweigh challenge... We're about 25 days in so far.

It was super hard at first. I had to hide it under a dresser so I wouldn't see it each day. It was like a physical craving wanting to get on that scale. I had been weighing at least 4 or 5 times a week... You really can get addicted to it

But now that I've been doing it over 3 weeks I'm getting more comfortable with it. I do feel it's healthier. I used to not drink any fluids in the morning until I weighed in, and that could be hours... So now I get up and drink lots of water right away and that just feels so much healthier for me...

Still sticking to plan.. Lots of potatoes, veggies, and rice...

Thanks Kathy

Today I tried a workout for my back. I have been having back pain since my vacation in November. Ii started going to a chiropractor and massage therapy and it is definitely helping, but I need to do stuff at home, too
I liked this workout...

Back and hip pain workout

Thanks YOMOM and KIRSTYKAY

It's been 30 years since I've been this weight. I'm pretty excited about it. Wish I had really understood calorie density when I was younger
