Or do you just shove the scale into the corner and forget about it?

Once a month

once a month for me.

Don't own any scales - so only get weighed if I go to the nurse.

I weigh daily----scale is right by the shower, why not? I want my weight at 205 lbs. and if I am over, I eat less until back at 205 lbs.

I weigh myself daily, mostly on the weekends when I tend to lose weight from lots of work. If I go over a few pounds, I cut back on the sweets for a few days.

When I weigh in at the doctor's, however I'm going on Nutrisystem in a few weeks so I'll be weighing more often then.

Oh, let us know how it works, Red. You hear alot of good things about it.

What's a scale? :-3 Oh that thing I avoid at the doctor's office unless they WANT to treat me for depression too. :wah:

I don't weigh myself, if my clothes start to feel a little 'snug' I'll lay off the biscuits! :wah:

I weigh myself daily

Last Year Flop had a thread "let's all lose wieight together..."

so, this summer I did..

I've lost @ 30 pounds since April '08. yeh !!!

Our scale is right by the shower also - check maybe 3 - 4 times a week now.

It must be over ten years at least since i weighed myselfI do the same as milly,, well not really but i only notice a weight difference by how my clothes fit or how i feel. I have lost a bit of weight since i got my dog in February and taker her for two wlaks at least daily:D I havent a clue how much, and even if i weighed myself now i wouldnt know as i dont know what i weighed before:wah: but its quite noticable to me and others so must be a fair amount:D

I rarely do, I just don't think about it.

Whenever I'm near a truck scale.

As little as possible, or when the Doctor makes me...!!! :wah:

Same here

Maybe once very couple of years, it always seems to be about the same so I don't worry about it much.

Don't own one.:-6

I've never owned one... my mom had one that she got on everyday.. she used to put on these aluminum foil pants and tops and sit around having them sweat off a few pounds... Yikes!



Why would anyone do that to themselves?:-2



I've started exercising again and eating healthier now that I'm almost a year out having quit smoking... but weigh myself? If I can pull the pants on and bend over far enough to get the socks and shoes on...really don't care what I weigh..



You folks get up every morning and count gray hairs too?:sneaky:

When the seams of my jeans leave little indents on the insides of my thighs, I weigh in :wah:

meh maybe once a month for a laugh... bad beer bad bad bad.

I am the same Minks.

When the waist band tightens I get on the scales:wah:;)

Since I've gotten older, I've noticed I gain weight easier, and it's not easy to lose. I feel the best when I'm thin and my clothes fit well. I don't want to have any weight sneaking up on me. Although, to be honest, it's actually been a year since I weighed myself. Okay, I know, psycho person now, right? When I had a scale I did what Lon does, but I moved about a year and a half ago and never got around to buying myself a scale, so . . . I guess I don't really need to worry about it, huh? Good grief. I've said too much! :wah: Labeled myself as verifiable or something now, haven't I?




No, no... not at all.... :yh_whistl



....erm...exactly how many folks participated in that answer?...:p:D

I've been counting grey hair since I was 25

now I just comb it all together - pretty or so pretty..

Honestly for years I never owned a scale since I was very active and had control on those tight jeans.

Now that I'm 50 - all my jeans were tight. Getting on a scale at the Dr's was scarey and the numbers were'nt good... 185, not good..

so I set my mind on trying - I had to change my habits - didn't want too

you know Potato Chips only taste good at Midnight... still do.:wah:

I can still put away a loaf of Hot Garlic Bread, before I'll have ice cream.

so there ya go

my down fall is bread - chips and CHOCOLATE

what's your weakness?
