    Mine is currently on top of my dryer in my bathroom. I have an amazingly small apartment, hence the laundry/bathroom. :happy:

    I also weigh every Friday and sans clothes. :wink:

    I don't know!!! My husband stole my scale! He took it and hid because he said I was too obsessed with the numbers!

    And he's right. I would hop on that thing 4-5 times a day and just get depressed. It was counter-productive for me. I keep trying to remember that I'm aiming to get "healthy" and not "skinny."

    He lovingly told me that he would get it out for me every few weeks and then put it back into hiding! :)

    I'm kind of like you, most of the time. I'm kind of on a life-long journey, and don't really weigh myself every day. I do weigh about once a week, on my Wii Fit. It's the only scale we own.
    I use my Wii Fit scale too but I hate to see my Mii look sad. :sad:

    Ditto. And the squeal of pain it makes when I step on the board.

    My scale is under a table in our family room. Close at hand for weighing in each week right before working out, but out of the way for daily room use.

    same here

    I keep mine in the masterbath I have a bad habit of weighing myself every morning. But if I like what I see it motivates me to loose more and if I don't like what I see then I make sure I work extra hard at it that day. I like the idea of it by ur fridge I just don't have room by mine. Plus I like to weigh myself naked and I have 2 kids so I would hate for them to walk out in the kitchen and find me out ther naked they may never eat again though :laugh: that could help keep them skinny!!lol

    i only use the one at teh gym from time to time... i mostly use my clothes to guage.
    i'm lifting heavy (Dorian Yates' Blood and Gutts work out) i'm down about 3 inches in my waist but i see the difference in muscle gains. A scale would on;y screw with my head.

    My scale is packed away. I've resolved to weigh just once a week at the gym.

    Previously, I got into some weird behaviors with the scale...weighing several times a day, weighing before and after going to the bathroom (!), weighing with and without clothes and comparing the difference, etc. Seemed like this wasn't a healthy behavior, and I would get discouraged if my efforts did not immediately pay off with a decrease on the scale.

    After a lot of self-talk, I have come to accept that if I do everything that I know is effective, I will lose weight. Small day-to-day fluctuations are meaningless, and more likely due to factors other than my behaviors...water retention, hormones, etc. I haven't missed the scale, and now I don't focus so much on my sacrifices and the "reward" of weight loss. At my weight (100+ lbs to lose), I notice that I feel better and can engage in more activity even though I have only been dieting and exercising only 2 weeks. That's more motivating than any number on a scale.

    I did weigh in yesterday, as I needed a baseline at the start of my food journaling. It showed I had lost 8 lbs over the last 2 weeks, but I know that is the usually higher initial weight loss and I don't expect it to continue. The scale is a poor measure of progress in my view, so once a week is plenty,

    I keep mine in the laundry room. It's the only place that has enough uncarpeted floor to make sure it's accurate. But first thing I do in the morning is make sure I pee (sorry if that's TMI lol), and then stumble out to the scale. There isn't a day I dont step on it. And I'm so anal about it that sometimes I step on it 2 or 3 times a day, as if there is going to be a major swing in weight.

    Mine has to be hidden as i have 4 children & i don't want them to become obsessed with jumping on the scale. Mine is hidden behind the washing basket in the bathroom.

    I dont have scales at home - I go into town and weigh myself in boots as it gives you BMI and Body Fat percentage also.
    It means that I am not tempted to step on them everyday - it could become obsessive if I had them here.
    It also means I look forward to going to town every week because I cant waitt o read the little print out that I get.
    I go with my mum and sister and we always wait until we have all weighed ourselves before looking - then we all get excited together or give words of encouragement if someone hasnt lost as much as they liked :0)
