For my money heck no! I don't bother with the scale. Can we say depressing? When the numbers don't go down as fast as we think they should that when problems can begin. Do you have a favorite outfit from thinner days? I do. I put out my fav pair of jeans too. That's what motivates me. I try them on once in a while. Thats how I know I am getting closer to my goals. Scales hurt my feelings.

I am getting that outfit out now. I'm putting away the scale, as it has been depressing getting on it. Thanks for the reply.

you all are so disciplined to keep yourself from checking the scales all the time. I admire that! this idea makes sense too because if you are exercising the muscle you build weighs heavier than the fat you have been losing. muscle also helps to burn off fat.... but the scale numbers could be misleading.

This is what my doctor said as muscle weighs more than fat. I regularly lift weights, so am now avoiding the scale. Thanks for the reply.

At the Weight Watchers I attend we get weighed once each week. For many times I was told not to weigh myself every day, but I do. I find that if there are signs that I am gaining weight, I can do something about it sooner rather than later.

God no. I'd be so depressed if I did that. I hate going to the Dr's b/c I hate to be weighed. I suppose if I weighed the perfect 112Lb. I'd love to be weighed but I don't so I hate being reminded that I have to work hard to lose weight.

Thank you for the reply. I wouldn't want to get on the scale at 112 pounds, as the doctor would think I was starving myself and send me to somebody for help. I'll admit its so hard to lose weight and keep it off.
