    When I first started MFP last April, I would weigh myself 2-3 a day. I was obsessed with it! Now that I am close to my goal, I only weigh once a month. As long as my clothes aren't getting tighter, I could care less what the number on the scale is anymore.

    I'm in!! I have been losing the same freakin 3 lbs for a while now. I am only a few pounds from my goal but cannot get to it. I will have my hubby hide mine tonight and will not weigh until mid April or maybe May 1 depending on how i feel about it. I am a daily weigher but have been doing more weight at the gym causing the fluctuations (maybe the fact that i have been a little lax in my eating too). It will be very liberating to be free from the number but i am terrified at the same time!

    This might help. THE SCALE IS A TOOL.

    Once you get a grip on that your good to go. Anyone can look in the mirror and say "yep I am fat" checked that box. The scale does not tell all. A body can loose fat, gain muscle and weigh more than when it started, but the dress or pant size goes down. What the scale does is give a data point when combined with measurements to tell if what your doing with caloric intake and excercise is working. The scale tells a part about how your body is changing. To me I would hate to check my weight monthly to find out my diet didnt change anything and I just wasted a month. How depressing would that be.

    Remember its a tool to measure lack of progress that intiates change in your food and excercise habits.

    I haven't been on a scale in well over a month. I feel so much better! It used to take me DAYS to get over the horrible feelings of discouragement when I didn't lose a lot. I will weigh again eventually, but not for at least another couple of months. You can do it guys and gals!

    Like the op, the scale influenced my moods to the point where I was discouraged and not as likely to stick with my plan. For the last two months I have only been weighing myself every 2-4 weeks and it is working out out much better for me. My scale is still in the bathroom for my husband to use but I refuse to step on it until I notice I am losing inches, then I record my lower weight.

    I just put mine up really high and out of sight in my closet yesterday, I was going to take the batteries out, but it's some weird watch battery, I figured I'd break it if I screwed around with it. I didn't weigh today for the first time since starting MFP, 235 days today lol, and it feels great! I'm so sick of it dictating my mood also. I'm pretty much at goal, just lifting for body recomp and a bit of HIIT to hopefully lose the baby tummy, so the scale for measuring my progress is really dumb, logically I know this, but doesn't stop me from weighing, and then being pissed, daily. I hope to go for a Thursday weekly weigh in. I really felt good today not weighing and not caring!

    Not me!!!! I have to get on the scale every day to see how I progress. Someone talked me into putting my scale away. I did for like 9 months and I gained weight. Biggest diet mistake I ever made. UG. There is nothng wrong with keeping onself in check. I don't let the scale or anything ele control my mood. Life is too short to be moody.
