I have an issue with weighing every day.. it's an addiction, really. I want to get down to once a month. If you're one of the people I've seen on the boards that talk about hiding your scale from yourself, LOL.. where do you put it? Bathroom closet is too easy for me to get to. I was thinking... garage?

    My hubby put it so high up in a closet and I cannot get to it even with my step stool...I know, sad. I am finally adjusting to weighing once a month, but I do think about weighing way more often than that.

    I weigh once a month, but I keep the scale near the fridge to remind myself not to binge eat.

    I don't have a scale, scales are for drug dealers. If I weigh in I do it at school, but I prefer to use the bio-electrical impedance device that can tell me my fat% and measure inches. A scale wont tell you if you gained/lost muscle or fat

    I got my OH to hide ours. We only have a small house, but I'll be stuffed if I can find the stupid thing!

    I don't hide mine.. I sneak a weigh every day, but so far it hasn't caused issues. If it does start causing me to get off track rather than motivated I'll put it in a time out in our building and make hubby keep both keys. :)

    Right in the bathroom where I see it every day and several times a day. But I do keep the measuring tape hidden because it is not my friend. I know it should.be the other way around buy it works for me.

    I weight myself almost daily but the fluctuations don't bother me. I am on maintenance, I know what my weight is or should be.

    Since last year, my scale has been slid under a portable storage rack in my bathroom. While I was doing WWOnline last year, I weighed myself every week, in the morning, after using the toilet naked, and before I ate breakfast. I made a promise to myself to not weigh in everyday, and only once a week. Once a month is too little if you have weight to lose, but might be good for people who have achieved their goal .

    Mines right by the TV in the livingroom. It's the only good level place I could find, (We live in an old house the floors are a little wonky) I really do need to hide it tho, I think. I'm quickly becoming obsessed with that little thing.

    The ones I actually use are at my dads which is about 5 mins away, I don't think he'd appreciate me popping round so frequently to use them! Currently I do it once a week though, really helps not having them here and will continue to not get any because of this.

    Mine pretty much stays in plain sight on the kitchen floor. I weigh about once a week or week and a half.

    I use it everyday! only when im not home i dont use it. because i dont trust other peoples scales lol. Its like my best friend somedays and mortal enemy the next, I can't help myself! although sometimes it backfires because you get used to seeing the high numbers. :/

    I weigh almost daily. It was avoiding the scale that got me into trouble. Frequent weighing keeps me accountable. But if it's causing you agita, stashing it is a great idea!

    I use the scale at the gym. I need to stop getting on the dial scale at the gym near my bf's 'cause I hate it and get irritated. The one in my bathroom sucks so bad it really should get hidden in the dumpster!

    I was like this too! I've got it down to a few times a week now! :laugh: You can drive yourself crazy with that thing! I often find that I lose weight in chucks...as in I won't lose for a week or two then all of a sudden I drop weight. Weighing everyday, or multiple times a day was depressing.
