    Im glad to see there's more people like me who are obsessed with the scale. I think I have an eating disorder though so when I would restrict i would lose one pound each day my lowest was 134 but it all went down the drain after I broke down and ate something.I gained about two pounds and it all went to hell. So now im back to 144 or somewhere in the low 40's /: i try to blame my scale and maybe it IS off and so im not going to use it anymore but I'm going NUTS wondering how much I really weigh and I feel like I can't go anywhere unless I know! I'm tired of waiting and seeing no results I'm tired of overexercising and starving I'm also tired of feeling tremendous guilt after I eat ANYTHINg. Im tired of feeling like I need to compete with my moms awesome figure I'm tired of crying and seeing myself in the mirror. My goal is to be 120-125

    Nothing wrong with that as long as you know how to mentally and emotionally handle what you read. As in, I weigh myself sometimes several times a day out of curiosity regarding the fluctuations. Do I freak out? No. Do I do it? Yes. Is it a problem then? I don't think so...!

    Just make sure you're doing it for a carefree reason.

    I like to weigh myself either after a big poop, or a long run. I lost 3 lbs in water weight today from my run. And TRUST ME!, I felt it. Way to hot out today.
