I don't have a scale and have no idea how much weight I've lost but I know that I've lost 7cm this week. I weighed on a friend's scale to get my start weight. How often should I weigh and should I buy a scale?

    I would definitely buy a scale and weigh once a week. I weigh every day but am trying to make myself not do that. lol

    About once/week. Your weight flucuates throughout the week.

    For buying a scale, ask yourself this: Would you be tempted in weighing yourself every hour of the day/7 days per week?

    If yes, don't buy a scale. It will just demotivate you. If no, go ahead and buy one.

    instead of buying scales, would your local pharmachy/drug store have scales you can use? or just use your friends again?

    I regret having mine, as I am on them twice a day and completely addicted. It is quite disheartening when they don't go down or even go up, so keep going with the measurement and save your pennies for smaller clothes :)

    I bought the Taylor 7506 from walmart for $23 and free shipping. I love it. It weighs in lbs or kgs and goes to the tenth of a pound. I only weigh once a week unless I have a really bad day going over on calories and then I will weigh the next morning. Maybe just commit to only logging your weight once a week.

    It was rated in consumer reports as one of the best.
