    It's a matter of perspective. I can look at my body and think I'm one weight get on the scale and be completely shocked. Strangely enough I can look at someone else and think they weigh less than they actually do, because I of how I feel about that person (something my husband appreciates sometimes.) So I use the scale to keep me honest about my body since it rarely jives with my body image.

    If you are speaking about a food scale I would say yes its very important to get an accurate tracking of your calories.

    you step on a scale and write down the number.

    you start eating the appropriate amount and you expect the number to go down after a while.

    If it isn't going on a downward trend, you aren't losing weight?

    Oh, I hadn't thought maybe you were referring to a food scale. Hum, well it's not necessary, but it does help to realize just what a portion is. I was surprised, for example, at just how small a portion of pasta is. So, yeah it's important in the beginning, but as you become used to what a portion of something truly looks like you don't have to use it as much.

    In this thread we are just making conversion on the importance of weighing scal ein weight management. As we have seen a long list of weighing scales on many websites(http://www.healthgenie.in/home-care/weight-management/weighing-scale) which say that it is important to lose weight.

    As others have said : if a food scale then it's very important as it allows you to know how much you're putting in your body, if it's a body weight scale then it's helpful, especially when you are over weight or trying to just maintain but nothing else. If you are trying to tone/build muscle then the scales won't be your friend as you can't expect to put muscle on and the number to remain the same.
