    Maybe you could step on the scale and not look at the number but just take a photo of the scale. Then start working to lose weight, knowing that one day you will feel stronger and more confident after some success and then you can see the number if you want. Not that you HAVE to ever know the starting point but it just might be interesting to have the info in the future, so that you know exactly how much progress you made.

    Honestly, weight doesn't mean much of anything anyways. Once you hit your weight goal, are you going to wear a tag that shows how much you weigh? No - no one knows the number but you. What matters is how you feel, look, and that you are healthy. That is what people will see, not some irrelevant number.

    @Keladelphia, that scale is interesting. Does it hook up to wifi? I kind of like the concept, but would rather it just show me my % body fat. That's all I really care about from my scale anyways.

    @GauchoMark Mine doesn't but I have an old version that I bought when I was losing a couple of years ago. I don't think the newer version connects to wifi or shows BF% but it does give you the option to use it as a regular scale (my old one didn't). I think it mostly benefits those who get consumed with focusing on a number.


    If you have a recommendation for a scale that seems to calculate BF% though i'd love to know what it is as that's what I gauge my progress on now and haven't found a way to get a consistent accurate BF measurement.

    I use a Fitbit Aria. It syncs via wifi and measures %BF. It is probably not the best scale out there, but it works and is convenient. I used to have a Tanita that I loved, but it didn't sync.
