    The scale is more of a nightmare if you fret over the fluctuations you get from day to day, which I tend to do.
    I find I only have to eat a bit closer to weigh in, to have a Ib up, or to have had a bread or oat product and find it is up.
    I do wish it remained exactly the same from day to day, but it doesn't seem to happen.
    I was 125.8 yesterday, and same time today I was 126.6. :/

    i am only going to weigh when i go to the Dr. otherwise i get so depressed with little or no progress i just want to give up. I made a big decision today, i set my ticker back to 0, as i have not been doing anything in the way of continuing on this journey i started way back in 2009. I am considering this day 1 of a new journey!!!!

    I HATE my scale! Actually, it's not the scale's fault, but I live in an old house and the floors are uneven. So I can't get an accurate read ANYWHERE!! I try to just weigh myself 1x a week at the gym, but just out of morbid curiosity I step on my scale.
    Depending on where I put it - I can weigh 4 - 8lbs more than what I usually do.

    My husband just picks a spot and uses it as a gauge, but I NEED a specific correct number lol

    i like weighing in at the gym too! getting rid of my at home scale eases so much stress. Although I still stress during the gym's weigh in as well. lol!!! It's a personal struggle that i think alot of us deal with. we've been brainwashed for so long by the fda and other government agencies that try to tell us how to eat and what magic # we should weigh. Yes weight does matter, but lean muscle mass and eating good stuff and not the bad stuff should matter more. Don't mind my babbling these are things I have to tell myself everyday to help me in my journey! LOL!

    I love my scale. You have to divorce your emotions from the number. The only power the number has is the power you give it.

    I gave my boyfriend my scale to hide until next "weigh day" otherwise I want to check my weight daily and get discouraged. It's so self destructive. I had the hardest time when I was doing the Curves workouts to wait the whole MONTH until the next weigh/measure day, especially when those numbers didn't move as far as I thought they should.

    My scale is heavy. And topped with glass. Not sure I wanna leave that lying in the road. :/

    ^^
    We are doing it wrong...must weigh the scale AND deduct the weight from our own.............LMAO

    i have a love/hate relationship with my scale. the last few weeks i loved it. This week, not so much. I think i become obsessed with the numbers on it but i just can't "break up with it" b/c then it seems the weight slowly creeps back on....what to do, what to do. LOL

    If I do read this earlier when I hated my scale . Lol I need a scale that shows body fat too bc I been running and working out alot, I'm wondering if that's why I gained a yucky pound. If scale goes up next time, I'll for sure join you on that and toss it ;) it's about how you look anyways, not the "number" :)
