    I weigh everything! It wasn't until I started weighing what I ate that I began to see consistent results! Good luck to you!

    Have never weighed my food and/or ingredients, and never will. I just go by eye, or by my stomach. Shows weighing food isn't essential, but some people may find it useful. :)

    I weigh everytyihg as well, it is so much faster to just weigh out a half cup instead of getting the measuring spoons out. It is a MUST

    I just ordered a food scale a few days ago because I'm sick of guesstimating things...I can't wait to get it and be more accurate!

    I weigh everything, because everything I put in my mouth counts. Even if it's 7g of coconut oil...tiny amount, it gets weighed.

    I weigh my drinks as well, as I do not trust measuring cups. It's so easy to weigh, second nature since I've been doing it for over a year and a half. .

    I think it'd really help a lot of people who can't seem to figure out why they aren't losing as quickly as they'd like

    I only weigh calorie dense things and "treat" foods. Steak for instance has a lot of cals, so I want to know I'm only eating 3 oz because I know it'd be easy to eat three times that amount. But broccoli or asparagus have so few cals and are good for me so I don't mind splurging on them.

    I weigh meat, fruit, and chips or whatever else that can't fit into measuring cups or I'm unsure. I use also use measuring cups and spoons. I love my food scale though.

    I use my digital scale daily. My scale has a conversion button for grams and ounces. I've only weighed fruit that is cut like fresh pineapple, watermelon, mango, etc. I didn't think about weighing apples, oranges, etc....lol, but I will now. For other stuff I use measuring spoons because 2tbs of salad dressing is not what I thought it should be.
