I prefer electronic ones for ease of use, accuracy and size. Its good if they have the option to show grams or ounces. Mine also do ml or fl oz, but thats a gimmick as 100gms = 100mls, etc. I use flat scales so I can easily sit a plate on them, some people prefer ones with a bowl so you can weigh flour etc in it.

I weigh things so I can accurately count calories, surely they go hand in hand? If you have nutritional values for 100g of pasta, for example, the only way of accurately calorie counting is to weigh the pasta you have and then calculate them from there

I weight everything, otherwise I worry I'm giving myself too much. I have a pen and paper in the kitchen so I can write down weights then add them to MFP when I have time. Drives my husband mad sometimes when we're serving up dinner, haha! Sometimes with things like mayo if I don't eat it all I'll weigh whats left to be…

I weigh every day so that, as others have said, I can see flunctuations. When my weight drops I wait a couple of days before recording it to confirm its a 'real' loss not just because I'm dehydrated or something. I'd worry if I weighed in once a week I could just hit a good day and think I've lost more than I actually…

I know your body burns calories while your asleep, etc etc. I've always been in the camp of total cals in vs total cals out is what matters, not when you eat. But the fact is that since eating breakfast my weight has started to drop again. It had stopped over summer - I increased my exercise, tried yo-yoing calories, but…

I've always skipped breakfast, but recently started a new job that means getting up earlier and I was getting hungry before lunch time so have started to have a small breakfast - typically a breakfast bar. After a plateau of no weight loss for 3 months my weight has started to drop off again. My total calorie intake is the…

I've also reacently started a more stressfull job but actually found my weight has been coming off quicker. I think others are right - its not necessarily the stress itself but the impact it has on eating. I think I'm eating less as its at the back of my mind, whereas some people eat more when stressed as a form of relief.

1. MFP 2. Good trainers 3. ipod/other music device 4. workout DVDs for rainy days (personally like Davina's and 30 day shred) 5. HRM bearing in mind the recession, as you said, I personally think these are cheap - much more so than personal trainer, gym membership, etc etc, yet still effective. I cancelled my gym…

Yay! The exact same thing happened to me yesterday! Like you, my jeans were getting too loose, thought it was because they need a wash...tried on some old ones just to see and they fit perfectly! My fiance came home from work and asked 'are they new jeans?' - I was so happy, not fitted into them comfortably for several…
