To answer Andrea's taunt, I have been weighing myself once a week.
Doing it more often would make me insane.
But I weighed myself today and I've lost two pounds since Feb. 1. It's probably a good thing that I saw some results. This blog might have gotten real ugly if I had gained some weight.
I want to hear from others who took up the mayors' challenge! Anyone else out there want to share their results?

Congratulations! That's great news.
I am such an idiot about weighing myself. I have about 50 conditions that have to be met in order to produce a pleasing result- I've even been known to remove my WATCH for goodness sakes, because everyone knows how heavy those watches are. I have some friends who go to Weight Watchers who have a designated outfit for weigh-in each week, (world's lightest clothing?) so I guess I've got company with my crazy.
I'm just saying it takes a lot of courage and a whole bag of mental tricks to get me on the scale to face reality!
Congratulations on your loss!
Gigi, you are not crazy - ok, maybe you are, but as you said many many people do the same thing.
Consistency is the important thing b/c time of day, hydration, time since your last "void", and clothing are a few of the things that affect weight in the short-term.
Pick a day of the week (if you can only handle weighing yourself once a week), a time of day and an outfit (maybe the birthday suit) and weigh yourself under those same conditions to track your progress.....obviously on the same scale. For the most part, absolute numbers mean less than the change over time (that is unless your scale is rediculously off!! - and if it's 10 lbs different than the one at the gym, even with the possible variability caused by some of the stuff mentioned about - buy a new one!).
Anyway, nice job Amy!!! Keep at it!
PS - adipose tissue = fat tissue; adiposity is word to describe amount/level of fat tissue in the body.
