Anyone who never/rarely weighs themselves

I don't like to weigh myself because I hate obsessing over the number. I just go by how clothes fit. I think it has definitely been a good thing for me because sometimes you lose inches rather than weight and that's all we really want, right? I mean I've hit a certain point where I just can't seem to lose any more weight on the scale, however, my clothes look different/better so it doesn't bother me. I personally think its good for your mental health to just check the scale about once every three weeks to just make sure you're on track. Even though I don't check that often I've found that I have been able to stay on track with trying to go to the gym consistently and attempting to eat less. Just start off checking your weight once a week, then once every two weeks, etc. Good luck!

I weigh every couple months. It just doesn't matter much to me, I go by my clothes and how I feel.

I would say that it depends on the person.

For some people, hiding the scale also means a lapse in accountability and awareness, allowing them to eat whatever they want because they aren't staying aware; kind of like "If I don't weigh myself, the weight gain hasn't happened!"

For others, not obsessing over the number on the scale can be more productive, because a small gain can send them spiraling into depression and a loss of motivation.

I would say that as long as you're staying accountable in ways (logging food, making sure your clothes aren't getting tighter, using a measuring tape, etc.) then you don't need to worry so much about the scale.

I stopped weighing myself because it gets depressing when you see that you have not gotten lighter on the scale. You start obsessing over it.

When you excersise, you lose fat but you gain muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat. So it may look like you haven't lost any weight at all or even gained it more, but in fact you have lost the fat just gained some muscle mass.

Because if this, i find that scales are inaccurate. Just using a simple measuring tape is alot better as it shows you how many inches you have lost in areas of your body.

I rarely weigh myself anymore. Firstly I don't have a scales where I currently live and would only weigh myself when I go home, which is about once every 2 months. But the last 2 times I have been home I've felt bloated from a cheat day and decided I didn't want to see an increase on the scales. I go based on my clothes and how I feel. At the end of the day, it's not the number on the scale that matters but if you are happy with how you look.

I weight once a week which is 'rarely' to my old habits (multiple times a day, I know I know). Like others said, I can't lose without keeping track of where I am. Besides, I have lost over 30 lbs (which puts me half way to my goal) and somehow the same clothes still fit! So I would be so frustrated if I only did that.

I stopped weighing myself 3 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. I have always been fit and loved to work out, so the scale became something that caused me anxiety over normal fluctuations.

Check out this website www.mybodygallery.com. You can type in a weight and see tons of pictures of people at that weight and it'll make you realize how useless that scale number is. If I look good, what do I care if the number on the scale says 120 or 140?
