Hi. I do the same... I check the scale 2 or 3 times per day... :sad: ... I need to check it at least once a week...

I need to stop obsessing with the scale as well! I have been doing much better but I was weighing myself 2-3 times a day. Then I play games...."I should be losing more, but look at the scale! I might as well just eat what I want. It doesn't matter anyways!" Or, even on the other side...."Wow, I'm doing good....I can eat ________ today if I really want to!" Urgh!! Frustrating!! I am now trying to focus more on how I feel and not the number on the scale. I still find myself wanting to get on that darn thing more often than not!!
Glad for this group....maybe a challenge like this will help! Looking forward to friendship and support on here! This is my first "group" to join on MFP!

Hello:

My name is Nikkee, I usually weigh myself every day..but I had the scale in the kitchen,which I thought made sense-NOT.. so I moved it to the basement- OUT OF SIGHT ...which seems to help. I'm going to focus on weighing in on Mondays.

I too have fought this battle.

The scale is an evil invention and causes us to go more crazy over the # it tells us then nearly anything else in our daily lives. I want to STOP my obsession.

I REGULARLY ignore the things that the scale CAN NOT ACCURATELY tell me:
*I need to "potty"
*I have a lot of fluid on board (too much sodium or drank lots of water)
* My muscles are getting bigger (Strength training will do that, ya know)
* its TOM and of COURSE I'm going to weigh more
*I ate a big meal and it hasn't even digested yet
*And there's more!!!!!!

I igore these things simply because it tells me a number. I turn retarded and forget there are LOGICAL REASONS and I did not consume and extra 3500 calories since last night. :noway:

I am determined to focus on my body composition rather then the scale number, and I hope the support from this group will help me!

Hi! My name is Amy and I'm a scale addict. I'm in such denial that I go out of my way to find tips and advice that say I should weigh myself every day. I got a new digital scale but that sonofa***** says I weigh 6 more pounds than the cheap ticker scale. I'm obviously going to return it.

Hello, I'm Jen. I weigh myself several times a day. I get very discouraged if I gain anything or if I don't lose for a while. I stress myslef so badly over this. I know you should only weigh once a week and at the same time everytime but I can not stay off the scale Maybe together we can help each other break this BAD HABIT!

I thought I was the only person who is obsessed with the scales. I try to only weigh myself on Monday's, but I have found myself weighing in everyday. I'm frustrated because I feel like I'm doing so much work and the scale is saying something different. I'm glad to be in this group who relates.

Hi my name is Katie. I am glad one of my friends posted in this group. I joined because I am so obessed with the scale. I weigh everyday. I really need to break this habit and not let the scale be a define me. so here I am. I'm on day 8 of no weighing.

My name is Analy, I was always a fat kid throughout my junior and high school years. I have a twin sister who is 50lbs lighter than me I weigh myself about 2 to 3 times a day. I've tried so many diets and going to the gym, but i can't workout with everyone just staring at me it makes me feel uncomfortable. To even make it worse family is always saying how i am the bigger twin and how i ate all the food etc etc. I feel depressed and i just start eating uncontrolable. How can i start a healthy life?

i found myself scared of the scale, despite looking at it many times a day or throughout the week. I want to cut back to at least once a month if I can handle it lol I just want to be healthy.
