Okay, this might be a bad idea so go ahead and tell me if you think so.

Okay well I"m in my skinny jeans now, but they are low risers and my gut is hanging out over them...thank goodness for long shirts! So I won't go out and buy jeans any smaller than this (no way I can be a size 4 unless the orthopaedist takes out some ribs and hip bones) so my goal is to look better in my skinny jeans. I can give up the scale at home but I will continue to go for my weigh ins at WW for a while.

Sounds fair?

I am going to have to go scale free since I am going to go away again. I think I will bring my tight jeans with me as a reminder to eat healthy. Very hard to do when I am in NC. I would love to fit into my snug pants and not be a slave to the scale.

Good idea, Jean.

I'm a daily weigh-er so it'll be weird but as long as I have a way to measure progress, this should provide more motivation.

Good idea Jean. I'm opting out though. I have no intention of going near a scale, but certainly don't want/need to fit into anything smaller. I actually have to consider buying smaller stuff for work as everything is falling down (thank goodness for drawstings). I haven't been this little >>>gulp<<< since I was about 8 or 9 (I'm embarrassed to admit this - definitely not bragging). And yet I still manage to have cottage cheese on my thighs & butt - go figure.

i'm doing it! i'm waiting until i think i may have made some progress, then i'll try on my skinny jeans. but now i've upped the ante - in the long term my progress will be gauged not by my skinny jeans but by how i look in a bikini.

Short term goals work better--so you can fit into your skinny jeans and then move to a bikini.

I think I'm going to do before and after pics in a bikini but thats more a long term goal.

that's a really good idea! i'm going to take a "before" pic and use it to help motivate myself. and it will be fun to compare it to an "after" pic (with grass skirt and coconuts of course)
