    I would say weigh about once a month...I have lost 90 pounds...and stopped getting on the scale so much, it can really wreck your day if you see a number you don't like

    You could weigh monthly. I don't know how you can track the effectiveness of your progress with no weighing at all.

    Ok guys I'm stepping on the scale this morning. Lol. Don't want to see the number!! So ashamed and in disbelief if it's as high as what I think it is. I will track my weight every month and take pictures every 3 months.

    Weight yourself in a unit you don't understand then :-) If you are a lb person weight yourself in Kg :-) Seriously it will give you a number and tell you how many calories you need but without any psychological impact. You know what is best for you and what works though so good luck. You can do it. Plenty of people on here have :-)

    WORK OUT: so since I'm so over weight, im trying to just walk 20-30 mins a day moderately. My heart rate was at 155 just by me doing 20 mins at 2.5mph... that's really high isn't it? Or is that normal for someone my weight (286) @ 5'2, 1500 cal a day in order to lose 2 pounds per week @ the age of 23.

    You don't need extra stress while trying to lose significant weight. If the scale is too much for you right now, stay off. Take pictures and compare month-to-month and use a pair of pants as a gauge. Weigh when you are ready.

    It took me years to figure out that the scale simply provides data, not a measurement of self worth, eventually you will be curious :D

    Think of it this way, if you know where you start, you'll be very proud of the hard work you do and it will motivate you to keep going.
