    I just want to look good and feel good. I really don't care about a number. I chose 130 cause I figure if I weigh 130 I will for sure look good!

    I don't really give a damn about my numbers!!! I just want to look good naked and be able to hang in anything athletic I do. That's pretty much it as for how much I weigh it doesn't matter. If I'm 220lbs or 180lbs to me it's just a number I'm not too concerned about.

    Of course. I do care when I need to make weigh-ins though... and of course, the number makes for an easily quantifiable way of tracking progress.

    I actually haven't weighed myself in weeks, possibly months and I'm happier than ever. I measure my results by how I look, how my clothes fit, my strength, my endurance and I've been seeing improvement and success in all these areas.

    Until I figure out [and can afford to buy] a reliable method for measuring bodyfat%, the scale is my god. I'm also not within 20 pounds of my ideal weight, by a long shot. Once I'm there, I intend to rely solely on BF%.

    omg Scott I COMPLETELY hear you! And in your exact words! "I just want to look good naked" LMAO That is exactly what I told my boyfriend when he told me I was stressing too much about losing pounds haha no one gets it! I don't give a crap about the number until I look in that mirror and like what I see! :)

    Yup, I just want to feel good when I slip on a sexy dress and it FITS.... but that also means, the numbers going down on my scale! :P Of course, the number isn't as important.

    For now I use the scale as my guide because I have over 60 lbs to lose, but ultimately it's about inches lost, muscle gained and how my clothes fit. As I get closer to my goal I will pay less attention to the scale and more attention to my appearance. My goal weight is at the high end of normal anyway.

    My doc wants me to be between 130-140. I would be comfortable with 135..or be at the point where nothing jiggles anymore. ....I would be happy with that. Doc also wants me to be a size 4..but I got hips..with or without the fat..so I dont think that is feasible for me..but just not to be like jello anymore :)

    I don't own a scale, never have, never will. I have been weighing myself at work and won't be back there for 6 more weeks, so won't weigh myself again until then. To me it's more about how I look and feel. I want to fit into my "skinny" clothes and stay there! I want to feel that I have more energy, flexibility, and stamina. I want to be healthy! None of that has to do with a number.

    I care but at the same time I don't. My main goals are to come off my blood pressure medicine and feel better about myself. I was happy at 180lbs, but was considered overweight. I didn't care because I felt and looked good at 180lbs. Right now I'd be happy to get down to 200lbs. I'll probably never look good naked after a gain of 80lbs and having a baby.

    Right now its a numbers game and it has been since I started losing but once I drop another 10-20lbs then i will start worrying about toning up and looking good naked. Once I am in the range of 185-200lbs it will be about the looks and maintaining not about the weight.

    I don't care what the scale says, but I do weigh myself. When I joined this the first time my goal was 130-135 but I was happy at 140 and just tried to maintain from there and failed miserably by the way. So here I am again and I do wiegh myself because it is the best way for me to see if I am gaining, losing or maintaining the wieght sneaks up on you I swear oneday I fit my clothes and the next I was nearly 2 pant sizes bigger I have to believe if I was wieghing myself I would have seen I had went up 5 lbs and worked harder to not gain.

    i weigh myself day, night, midday omg it is ridiculous because all it seems everyone labels themselves as height and especially weight. I agree with you and will hide my scale for a while because it is becoming a beast in my bathroom. Thank you for your post!

    I'm the same way!

    I just wanna look good. I think I'm going to start measuring myself along with tracking my weight. I care more about the inches than pounds any day.

    Yeah, I'm sort of just aiming for what's considered a healthy weight for me, but I intend to stop when I'm satisfied with how I look and feel. That's all I want.
