Do you own a scale?

[autumnsparklemom]

Yes, I have one but never get on it. I am scared I might break it. ;-)

Yes I own a scale. I just upgraded by scale from a mechanical one, to a digital one with bodyfat measuring sensors... they had a great deal on them at ALDIs a couple months back -- ALDIs is a great store if anyone isn't using that resources its time to go & check out their weekly home goods... good stuff, really cheap.

yes i just paid 150 dollars for one from amazon...its a physician type digital scale...accurate to my drs..

[Cbsteffen]

Yes, but I only use it when I absolutely must know my weight for whatever reason.

   The real problem with scales is "they all give you different readings, different results".

We have a scale in our bathroom. We always check our weight.  Sometimes just a habit of checking everytime and be aware whats our weight.

[snuggleycutejc]

No I don't have one.  Loved ones here, always had one but I know what it feels like to have little body weight and be active.

I do own a scale.. I typically  try to weigh myself every couple of weeks or so... Sometimes i like to do it less often but i do like to see how much i weight from time to time randomly just out of the things i do or the places i go or the things i eat of course i don't weigh myself like 3 to 5 times a day because your weight will always fluncuate throughout the day.. so no bother on that part

Yes. I use it a few times a week. Trying to be more active and loose my baby weight.

[jenniferhoder]

Yes I have one and I use it occassionally. Usually when I am trying to lose weight but I think its important to have one in the house.

I do have a scale.   I don't remember the last time I stood on it though.  It is tucked away so I forget I have it.

lol.  I honestly do not understand how knowing how much you weigh is such a horrible thing.  If you are over weight you have to know it.  You know what size your clothes are, surely you look in a mirror.  What difference does knowing the number make. It is kind of like the vanity sizing in the clothes now.  Does it really matter if the jeans say a size 6 is you weigh 200 pounds??? 

So now they make a size 6 which use to be like a 10.  And I kid you not I saw a pair of jeans that was a double zero 00 and I saw one once that was a negative something.  I could only shake my head at the stupidity behind that decision.  If a person is fat they know it.  If they are embarrassed to wear a size 20 then do something about it.  But changing the size printed in the clothes does not make the person any smaller.

But it is like somebody else said - the number on the scale - or how much you weigh does not define you.  But you will be judged by what you look like.  And not only being over weight.  You will be judged for being slim just as much.  Or if you have visible scars, or any type of deformity, or anything else.

I had a friend once that was over weight and she knew she was fat.  She was afraid to get on the scales too.  When she finally did she say 201 and she about died.  She is only about 5'2" so weighing over 200 pounds was a big deal.  She worked hard and ate right and lost around 97 pounds.  No surgery.  Just eating healthy and walking.

Yes I have a digital scale. For me it is more important to eat foods that are healthy and not processed then jump on a scale every week. My sister gets on a scale at least every 3 days because she used to be heavy but lost all of her weight by counting calories however her diet is not healthy because she will have a slice of pie for dinner for calories and nothing else. The truth is weather you jump on a scale once a week or once a month or only once a year the sad reality is where all going to pass away some day.

[pectacon]

I do, but the batteries have been dead for so long and I never get around to replacing them! My weight does not fluctuate that much anyway so I didn't check often.
