    Well I'm failing so far, ha :( It's compulsive, I don't even think about it most of the time. Urgh!

    I actually don't own a scale! :) But I visit folks who do maybe once every or every other week. So this will probably happen by default for me :) which is good as I just started maybe two weeks ago. I don't feel like I've gained but no loses for me just yet.

    For folks interested in why weight is a silly measurement I would highly recommend a book (that also goes into the science of why "diets" don't work and more generally the science behind metabolism) called Health at Every Size. It's really helped me to focus less on the scale, less on feeling bad that I've always been overweight/obese and more on how to get healthy regardless of whatever my BMI is telling me.

    Do not let scales own you! :)

    Just seen this thread and how very timely! I decided this evening to put the scale away and not weigh myself until 30th June. So can I join in too? Please :)

    It'll be one less thing to wipe the towel fluff off in the bathroom yay!
