Anyone else not weighing in?

I was just wondering if there are others out there that have thrown the scale out the window? I spent the first 40 pounds obesssing over the scale, to a point where I was weighing daily and beating myself up over normal fluctuations, not to mention throwing in the towel repeatedly. I decided to take the remaining 40ish pounds off using monthly measurements and gauging how my clothes feel, and was hoping to find some buddies that are doing something similar.

hi there. This is what I do, mostly b/c my scale broke and I always always obsess about it. I measure myself only and I do seem to be losing little by little. I am trying this for now. I also go to Overeaters Anonymous and that is helping.0

mmm, haven't thrown them away as such but have decided I'm not going to weigh myself for a month . . . scales hadn't moved in 3 weeks yet clothes were fitting me heaps better! Even have a pair of jeans I couldn't fit then but are now baggy on me! My next weigh in will be 16th Dec before I head off on holiday!0

Thanks for the responses! I do have to weigh in today (doctor's appointment) but I'm ready for it. I did some sculpting this morning so I'm prepared to see some water retention, and that's okay with me because I know I've been sticking with my plan.0

My other half hid the scale from me as I was getting obsessed with it. I now weigh in once a month.0

It's got to be better seeing a bigger drop on the scales monthly surely?? LOL0
