in Goal: Maintaining Weight
And I'm still alive! I've really decided to break up with my scale, and I've never been happier. Since my main goal is just to fit into my clothes well- and I KNOW what fits the way it's supposed to and when I need to buckle down on my eating/workouts. Just wanted to share since I am not letting the scale rule my life anymore!

    I am exactly the same as you.
    My scales ended up in the trees with the squirrels some time ago and now rely on measuring only as well as clothes fit.

    Great work.

    Well done!

    For me though, I like to weigh once in a while to make sure I'm not putting weight back on...

    You are my hero!

    I would love to demolish the scale, but I just can't bring myself to do it.... :frown:

    Once a year is enough for me to step on the scale!

    I'm with ya. I've not weighed myself since the beginning of March.
    ...

    Coincidentally, I've also not hated myself since the beginning of March.
    :happy:

    Me too. I haven't logged for a long time either, but I am exercising every day and watching what I eat. My size 12 pants was becoming tight, and now that I am back on the exercise trial (and winter is finally behind me), I am back into size 10 pants, due to my teams members on in the 3500 calories per week group - really keep me focus and pushing to get those 3500 exercise calories in.

    I am just frustrated with all the food on my list and not being able to delete them. It seems to take forever to find an item. I would really love if there was a way to delete all my foods and start afresh.

    I'm with you! I don't even have a scale at home anymore. I'm doing New rules of lifting for women, so I made a deal with myself to only weigh at the end of each stage. I just weighed myself (at work) last week after finishing stage 1, just to be sure I was eating enough. I don't think I'll ever buy a scale again... :-)

    Yes, I think we all know when we are gaining weight, even when we're not using the scale. Plus the scale doesn't take into account the whole fat-loss vs. muscle gain thing and your clothes do! Good for you!

    Can people on here still not grasp the fact that weight loss isn't linear?

    I own a scale and rarely use it. I weigh in every week at Cardiac Rehab. That's what I go by. By watching my sugar and sodium intake, I have lost 12 lbs. The most I have lost so far on MFP. Drs. want 20 lbs. off for now, so I'm close. Have a great weekend.

    I still have a lot to lose, so it may be different for myself, but I weigh myself daily and use the data to make cool graphs. Sure the graph zigzags but that's what linear regression/moving averages are for. :)

    I haven't weighed myself in over a year. My husband pointed out that I was addicted to it one day when we had "a talk" about my weight loss, and he was upset stating that I was "more than a number" on that scale, and I would be weighing myself 5-10 times a day....so out the door it went! and I honestly feel alot less stressed about it....

    But still frustrated that everything asks my weight in order to get accurate results...I really have no clue
