WTH does this have to do with scanning bar codes on packaged food?
It looks like maybe @47Jacqueline read the title and thought this was a "Say anything you want" kind of thread. Yet another reason why it pays to read the first and maybe the last post in a thread before commenting.

Um I don't weigh anything use cups, volume measurements, go off the packages for calorie info, sometimes I just eyeball it, and had no issue losing weight... Have no issue maintaining weight. Not everyone estimates so badly they need to weigh everything... So many of you act like you can't have success unless you weigh everything like its the only way. Funny how I still managed to lose without having to do that...0

lol....weigh it sometime....
i weigh my bread and it is often quite a bit off....i do eat processed prepackaged stuff often enough, but i'd watch that. they're easy to log, but the calorie count can be pretty off, which won't matter with a lot to lose. but with very little to lose, every little bit counts.
One of the advantages of living alone. I weighed the entire loaf of bread and divided it by the number of slices. The total calorie count came out to 15 calories per loaf off, which was l6 slices so basically 1 calorie per slice off. Individual slices may be higher or lower than the label weight per slice but the whole loaf was very close. Living alone, I will eventually eat the entire loaf so I don't weigh individual slices since the total will be close enough.

Meh. I don't weigh my food either. I was able to lose weight without it, and am now maintaining with that method.
However, for the vast majority of people who come on here and post about weight loss stalling, the number one reason they are not able to lose is because of logging inaccuracies. I almost NEVER mention the fact that I don't weigh my food, because it wasn't something I did to feel superior to people who do weigh their food. In fact, I just didn't know a scale was such a useful tool until I started lurking the forums. I told myself that if I ever did hit an unexplained plateau, or felt like I needed to tighten up my logging, the scale would be the first thing I would do. I just never ended up needing that. But... I probably could have hit my goal weight faster, and maintained more easily, if I did weigh my food, and I almost always ask people if they are using a food scale and recommend it to folks just starting out.
Pretty sure none of the people who were suggesting using a food scale were doing so to feel superior or to judge those that don't - unlike you - whose sole purpose with your comments was to belittle those who do weigh their food.

no....he was abandoned as a newborn by his mother, so i bottle-fed him, and then at some point he decided to fuse with me...
which makes me sad, because my first cat, a lynx-point siamese who looks like this, refused...even sadder, this cat and my cat, who is 7 now, both have the same name, Loki.... instead, i get the needy white cat whose name is Yemington fused with me.

Thank you soooo much for telling me what my sole intention was! Then go back and read the comments of the poster that was criticizing someone quite condescendingly for logging in ounces and volume measurements.
And I don't feel superior for being able to lose weight without weighing everything I eat, on the contrary it's those that weigh that act like its the only acceptable way to do so. Just read through this entire thread or many others. I'll gladly joust them off their high horse while riding mine.-1 -
just to completely derail this and complete the horrorshow:
here are two of my cats:
before Yemington fused with me
King Loki, looking normal
