Is Anyone Else Not Focused On The Scale?

_xoxok

I only get on the scale once a month! Don't get me wrong... I would love to hit my goal weight of 125 pounds... But to me, that's just a number. I don't want to be obese, I don't want to be overweight... I just want to be "normal". To me, this means looking in the mirror & loving the body I'm in. Even if that means I'm 135 or 140.. Does anybody else feel this way?

Yes, I don't even own a scale.
I know how I feel, how my clothes fit, and the state of my energy levels.

Hit it hard! Do your best and forget the rest

ME!!!! I'm adding you. I don't even have a scale, but I guess I'll weigh myself sometime, although I don't have too much to lose. But I'm monitoring my progress by measuring my waist, tummy, and hips. Also by how I feel in my clothes and how I look in the mirror!

Edit: I just added everyone above me. :-)

Same way for me. I like to focus on the way my waist is curving in, the way my clothes are fitting and the way I am toning up. I do weigh myself at least once a month... Just to see where I am at.

I'm not focused on the scale at all, I am actually not really sure what I weigh atm - somewhere around 54 - 57kg I think. But I am focused on lifting heavier things up and running further and faster Ultimate anti scale article http://nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/

*wipes forward*.... thanks ladies! I was starting to feel like I was the only one who felt that way... lol. So many people I know check their weight MULTIPLE times a day... That's a disappointment waiting to happen!! Especially for me.

I would love to lose weight, but i'm doing alot of weight lifting so I know it will be slow going. My clothes have been looser lately though and that's just AWESOME!

The starting weight I put when I started here (115lbs) was my weight sometime in November. I found a scale in my friend's bathroom and weighed myself. I figured I'd be around there anyway. I also want to weigh myself sometime soon, just to know where I'm at with that. My normal weight has always been around the 96-104lbs range, but I don't mind staying in this weight if I look fitter and the flabs are gone. :-)

I don't weigh myself on a scale.. I just look in the mirror and I smile when I can see the differences in my body. A scale doesn't help me. People say muscle weighs more than fat, so weighing myself wouldn't make a real difference if I am gaining muscle because it might make me think I am getting fatter when I'm really not...

me, me, me!

i do not own a scale i am focusing on how i fit into my clothes and how my body looks rather than a number. sure, i'd like to hit 118lbs, but have started a pretty serious strength training program and would rather focus on strength and muscle gains ^_^
