Anyone know where I might be able to weigh myself?

    No need for a scale. Spend a couple of bucks on a basic cloth or vinyl measuring tape and track your measurements. It's a much more accurate reflection of progress anyway.

    You can usually find a good tape in the laundry or sewing section of any grocery or drug store.

    Yeah, go to Wally Mart and weigh on 3 different scales. You're likely to get 3 different numbers, so, you can then choose to go with the lowest number and make that your current weight ;-)

    In the UK you can get scales for the equivalent of less than $5.

    As above, a measuring tape may be just as useful.

    Can go one cheaper than that and try a bit of string or rope and either just lightly tie a not for the position, or add a scale.

    K-mart is where I went before I bought a scale.

    If you're serious about losing weight, surely a couple bucks for a scale is the most basic piece of equipment you should own? Lol

    Kind of insensitive.

    Not everyone has extra money to spend. Some of us are really struggling and every dollar goes to bills, food, etc.

    No doubt! Some people have never financially struggled before, I guess. A good scale is a bit more than "a couple of bucks."

    Can you buy a cloth measuring tape? That's another way to check your progress if you cannot consistently weigh yourself.

    Edit: oops, already mentioned! I also second the recommendations to check your campus wellness center and gym

    So, I don't have a scale right now, and I'm really quite broke so I would rather not have to buy one. Is there any public place where I can weigh myself? I've been eating healthier and exercising for a couple of weeks now, maybe a month, and I'd like to see how I'm doing...

    okay you will love this one: go to your local store and hop on a scale in the scale section. Walah.. you just weighed yourself. I did this when my scale broke and was waiting to buy one. lol

    Get a cheap tailors tape. By using public scales it's going to be largely meaningless unless you wear the same clothing every time.
