Skinny people do not weigh themselves

Skinny people don't weigh themselves because they aren't monitoring their weight...

Are you kidding? How do you think they got or stay skinny? By monitoring their weight. It's not an accident for most people.

What's really interesting is how on a site like this we refer to "people who are of normal weight and have a healthy attitude about food" as "skinny" and that the only way they "got there" was to "diet down" like we're all doing.

And so to the second quote~ they were born that way, hon. I know it's hard to believe.......

I rarely weigh myself, but I don't see anything wrong with it.

I like to monitor/ measure my progress so If I wanted to lose weight I'd weigh myself more frequently.
I get weighed at my annual doctor's visit or at my local grocery store (when the scale's not covered with kids playing on it or people weighing suitcases..



I bought a scale recently but it doesn't work, $10 special at Walgreen's so I didn't expect much. I DO notice how my clothes fit and I look in the mirror when I pass it though, so I'm still monitoring.

**That's me on the scale. :laugh: Kidding, but what IS that? A little egg person?

Looks like a little Adipose!

It IS hard to believe, because you are SO wrong. It's easy for overweight people to believe that all skinny people were born that way because then it gives them an excuse for they themselves not being thin. I am thin - there is NO way I would be thin if I didn't work my *kitten* off and watch what I put in my mouth.

I'm not you, I've been trying to gain weight for 27 years. I'm here for fitness, not weight loss, but I still struggle to achieve the body composition and conditioning that many of you do. I do have several friends and family members that have always been thin, they don't weigh themselves and probably don't know or care how many calories are in a given food. Genetic, maybe? Is it really so hard to believe that what you weigh is any different than being a certain height or having the same body structure as a relative? Some of us are just thin.

Right. Which is why I said in my original post that "it's not an accident for most people". MOST, meaning NOT ALL.

Me and my sister are weightloss buddies and our neighbour and our mum have joined us, and we all weigh ourselves together every Friday!

We are all skinny in my family. We all weigh ourselves.
When I am at my usual weight I might only do it once a fortnight.
My Mum who has been 52kg since high school weighs herself every week and if it creeps up a kg she nips it in the bud and cuts out chocolate and dessert until it;s gone...like by the next week
