    I haven't weighed in since before I started... I measured that day and put the last weight I knew which was about a month before. I've been on 10 days plus - not really counting it well. I'm just doing it and watching the calorie/macro numbers as I eat/exercise and trying to get that part right.

    I've remeasured - lost 1.5 inches off hips and .5 off waist - jeans feel looser.

    Don't own a scale - just letting it roll for awhile. Haven't weighed again yet. :)

    Quite often... Scale just throughs me off because i get upses with numbers vs watching my body to see if im building quality muscle instead of getting fat or losing fat instead of muscle and weight... Mirror and pictures is ur best measure of progress!

    Jeepers. Listen to Eurodriver he clearly knows what he is doing, look at those abs!



    I get unmotivated if I have been having a really good week and the scale doesn't want to co-operate. So generally I hide mine (childish I know) and only pull it out once every ten days.

    I don't own a scale right now, so I only weigh myself about once a week when I go to derby practice. I'm trying to make this about being healthy and not just losing weight, so this works well for me.

    I used to weigh myself daily but I could see it was turning into a sort of eating disorder. I was weighing myself and my food, making things way too complicated.

    I now weigh in once a month when I go for my physical at the doctors office.

    i weigh atTarget, in the scale aisle, about once or twice a month depending on shopping trips.
