    When you want to be in control of your eating and weight.

    I don't own a scale and have done well. Of you are good at estimating, have solid references, and are honest with yourself. You might not need to. If the weight isn't coming off, then you may need to. The scale will tell you if what you do is working.

    In the past I was working out a ton (i.e. cycling 200K a week plus heavy lifting) and I lost weight without weighing my food. I recently had a baby and I'm trying to lose the last 15-20 lbs but I'm not nearly as active so dieting alone isn't doing it, I just bought a food scale so I'm hoping it will do the trick!
