Do anyone of you NOT own a scale?

I threw my scale out a couple of months ago. It was acting all weird and wouldn't give a consistant reading. I got rid of it thinking it would be better to just focus on eating healthy and exercising, but two months later I reeeeally want to get one. But I know when I do, I'll just go back to beating myself up for not weighing what i think I should. (last year I was pretty hard on myself).
Is there anyone else who doesn't have a scale? Do you go by how your clothes fit, or measurements?

I do not own a scale. I weigh at the gym every so often but at home I just go by clothing, measuring tape and visuals.0

I don't! I stop by my doctor's office once every couple of weeks or so just to weigh. If I weigh often, it would be disappointing because I have slowed significantly. But if I weigh, and I've lost a half a pound in two weeks, I'm happy with the loss!0

i do not need a scale. I used to work in the circus and can tell me weight (or yours) just by looking at you.0

Me!
I stopped weighing myself at the age of 14 as my personal protest to the obsessiveness of weight, especially among women. I started weighing myself again at the age of 24 because I was losing weight on a medication and I was working on gaining it back. After I was back to a healthy weight I stopped weighing myself again.
I don't know my measurements. I just look at my body naked. But at the moment I am not really trying to change my body. When I start working out more to increase my muscle mass I may take some measurements or I might just do progress pics.0 -
I don't have a scale. I weigh in at the Y on the same scale.0

I chose not to own a scale bcuz I got too obsessive about weighing myself all the time. I weigh in at my mothers house whenever I visit which is usually about once a month or every 6 wks tops... I take measurements weekly and its also about how I feel in my clothes0

I own a scale, but have become much less fanatical about it. I used to weigh myself 2+ times a day. Now I try to remember to do it every week or so. I use clothes and physical challenges to figure out how I am doing. I still have weight to lose, but rather than worry about a number, I decided to be happy about needing new belt, since all my other ones were two big to be of any use.0

I dont own a scale either. I am too shy to weight in my gym (where the location of the scale is full of males)
Sometimes(extremely rare), I weight on the scale which is belong to my bf's mum which ages at least more than 7 years LOL.
I always got the same reading (for almost a year). And now, I am doubted if its working properly LOL0 -
I don't own a scale. Sometimes I weigh myself at the gym, which I know isn't that accurate because I'm obviously dressed when I weigh myself. But really I don't think it's so necessary to have one.0

I own a Wii Fit, Lord knows how accurate it is.
Last used in July.0 -
I think not owning a scale is agreat idea. I was too stuck on mine. If I lost weight I celebrated by eating more. If I gained weight I got depressed and ate more. It's all about how I feel and how my clothes fit.0

I'm so glad you asked this! I just joined and was setting up my account yesterday and wanted to ask this, because I don't have one and have no idea what I weigh to put on my starting weight...so I guessed. I think I will try to weigh at a pharmacy soon, but I worry about the amount that all the boots and Winter clothes will add!0
