Do you own a scale?

[Nancy5]

I have one, but only go on it about twice a month.  I should probably go on it a lot more.

I do not own a Scale. Montel Williams (Talk Show Host) did an episode on weight and the Doctors that he had on there suggested that every one get rid of their Scales because when People are really trying to lose weight and they are constantly on the Scale. When they just know that they have lost weight and stepping on a Scale and had not lost the weight that they desired at the time will cause them to be very Depressed and just give up because they are obsessed with the Scale. They said a Scale is just a number, but that it was all about how you feel inside is what matters and the numbers will go down eventually, but to just be weighed at your Doctor or once a Month on a Display Scale in the Store. I took their advice and that is why I do not own a Scale.

My daughter has a digital scale, I gets on it sometimes.

[braggin]

I check my weight every morning. This is because if I don't, weight sometimes creeps up on me without my noticing until it is too late and really really difficult to lose it. It isn't because I'm trying to lose weight or anything.

I have a scale and weigh myself regularly.  If I notice my weight creeping up, I take immediate measures to get improve my eating habits.

I have a scale but only weigh myself if I go off on a binge craving. I usually get weighed in the doctor's office every 4 months but I don't like what I see.

That is stupid.  You need to weigh about once a week.  It is easier to cut back and lose a couple pounds that 10 pounds.  Most people only go to the doctor about once a year.  You need to weigh more than once a year.

Honestly if you have that big of a fear of getting on the bathroom scales and seeing how much you weigh then you either REALLY need to lose weight and you know it or have bigger issues than weight.

The numbers on the scales will not go down unless you get up and move and eat correctly. 

There is no need in getting depressed.  People need to quit listening to the people who say they lost 40 pounds in a week.  Go to realistic sources.  You will loose 1-2 pounds a week IF you really work at it.  You CANNOT eat whatever you want to and lose weight.  And you DO have to cut back on what you eat.  And you have to quit slurping the sodas all day long.  Most people consume around 1000 calories a day just in crap the drink.

You weight can fluctuate every day so weighing every day can drive you crazy.  Most real experts, not self proclaimed experts on tv, say to weigh once a week.

[gaby_ro_2004]

Yes,i do.I check my weight once a week but i learned that numbers don't define me.

[dwggs]

Yes I own a scale but I probably only weigh myself about twice a week. 

[judylucas]

I own a scale and weigh myself fairly often  how your clothes fit is a better way of checking your weight

[articx]

I do not own a scale. Maybe I should buy one.

[1imaginarygirl]

I don't own a scale anymore. I used to have one, but apparently it was lost during a move several years back. I weigh myself once a week using the Wii - not sure how accurate the numbers are. It's actually better to measure, because if you're exercising regularly, you could be gaining muscle (increased pounds) but losing fat (smaller measurements).

[dsawan]

have but never use really

[brian8713]

Yes, I weigh myself every day, although I would know I've gained weight even without the scale. I can't fit into many of my clothes anymore.
