Weighing

krisinky

How many of you don't weigh yourself but rely on your clothes and how you feel and look? I spent years obsessed with scale and I am scared to death to get on scale. So, I am losing weight but have no idea what I weigh. We are talking in terms of about twenty pounds.

I tend to weigh myself fairly regularly--about 2-3 times a week, with one "official" weigh in at the weight doctor I see. But even when the numbers don't change, I can tell I'm doing right. I'm wearing a scrub set that j never have. Years ago, it was a gift, but too small. Still had the tags on it! I love shopping in my own closet lol So while I love to see the numbers go down, it's other things that help. Like hearing "miss holly, your face looks smaller" or my boyfriend commenting I need new clothes because my pants fall down now!

How your clothes fit is actually a way better indicator of weight/BF than the scale. As long as it works for you, do what you're doing

I tried doing that. It didn't work for me.

I weigh myself 2x a day. It's more instant information than waiting on a clothing size

I weigh myself once a week it keeps me accountable without becoming obsessed with the scale because the day to day fluctuations of water weight can drive you insane

The scale number doesn't bug me, so I weigh daily, but I gauge progress by the tape measure and how clothes fit, how I look, etc.

If the scale bugs ya, definitely avoid it. I went six months without losing anything, just went up and down the same 2-3 pounds for the longest time, but I dropped a full size during that time. I kicked my scale and went out to buy smaller jeans.

Tape measure, comparison photos, how clothes fit is best.
