    I find the scale useful when shedding fat.... it's not necessary with calorie counting, but i don't want to have to continue calorie counting for much longer as the scale is a much more simple tool. however, when i am maintaining the scale is relatively useless. i measure myself by my fitness goals. i'll jump on the scale every few weeks or so, but i expect to be fluctuating within 2kgs during maintenance.

    i don't know if the issue is with your scales or with your ticker. if you're going to add strength when only a few pounds away from your ticker goal i would ditch that goal unless it is mid healthy bmi.

  • Stop the religious measuring, dear! :)
    Measure your inches, and weigh yourself on the scale once a month. If you did really good that month, the results will show and it is very empowering!

    I did a month long 'scale cleanse' and it worked wonders. I'm weighing every other week now, but focusing more on inches and how I feel. I used to weigh every day and obsess over the numbers.
