I don't know if they do that anymore.
And anything that keeps this thread on the first page is a good thing. New readers only need to read the OP.8 -

somebody must have done that by mistake?
Nope, he's doing it on purpose. I know who it is.
And it's not me.....
But I'll give you a hug anyway (how much longer for the link weight?)
I just figured out you meant the pink weight, @tacklewasher. MONDAY!!!4 -
Ok, so we have scales in the caff at work since the salad bar is by weight. But does anyone carry a personal scale? I have a gram scale that I use for measuring spices and coffee at home that I could stick in my pocket.4

See, she can't hurt me if I'm hugging her. With you it's just creepy.
And not sure what she posted this morning. All I remember is the hotcakes.3 -

Now I feel really guilty for jumping into this thread without addressing the OP
@sarahlucindac Thank you for posting this! @quiksylver296 and so many others here devote an enormous amount of time trying to get people to understand the benefits of accurate logging. Hopefully this helps someone else realize maybe, just maybe, there's something to it

No. He's still a snob.
But he's missing topless selfies by not accepting my FR, so there's that.4 -

If I’m eating out (which tends to be a rarity these days), I don’t bother with the food scale. In those cases, I just overestimate the calories I’m eating as much as my imagination can stretch.
I’m flying home to see my family in December and I most definitely plan on bringing my food scale then, though!3 -
I will add that if I ate out a lot, I would definitely bring my food scale with me.3

I've never used a food scale at a restaurant nor at anyone's house.
Let us know how that works out for you.
I can just hear your mom.
I don't know, I lost almost 50 pounds without a food scale at all and eating away from home quite frequently. I bought a food scale when I was 30 pounds from goal - and I didn't even use it all the time. It was getting more difficult to lose by that point. However, I didn't have a body-weight scale and was only weighing myself once a month so I needed some control.
There are three things I'm tracking: food, exercise and my own body weight. If I keep up my exercise and keep weighing myself a couple times per week I think now I could easily estimate my food eaten away from home BUT that's because I have used my food scale so long and so regularly. I can pretty much dissect any dish I eat and get close enough. You'll get there in time, too.
For about four or five years after I got to maintenance I didn't use my food scale. I also didn't own a body weight scale. That made it tough! I was trying the intuitive-how-do-my-pants-fit thing. The scales are so much easier. Now it's just habit.5
