Anyone else not weighing?

I know there have been a lot of posts about views towards weighing in or not... but is there anyone else who isn't?!  I haven't weighed in weeks but I've been working out and watching my food.  I notice changes in my clothes already, I'm just not getting back on that scale quite yet.  I know I have a long way to go and don't want to get discouraged...

It's hard to find support when so many groups are focusing on weigh-ins!  Anyone else not doing it?  I've got a little jean skirt that's been waiting a couple years to be worn again... that's how I'm measuring.

I like your attitude. I wish I had the will to not weigh, but I have to at least once a week to check my progress. Just to know if I'm in the right or wrong..However, I think it would be good in the point of over eating one day or whatever, so you don't freak out if the number isn't what you want the next day. :P

I am so with you! I agree, I fear I'll be discouraged too but know I'm losing by looking in the mirror (my face) and how my clothes fit. I may weight in a week or two but I am especially not weighing right now because my TOM is kind of out of wack and has been so for a few weeks causing my weight to do a little tango up and down like CRAZY even though I'm staying well within or under my calories! Good luck to you! Yay for not weighing!

Naw, I'm not weighing. But only because me scale broke and I have to save up to buy a new one. How much to cheap scales cost>does anyone know?

I weigh once a week so I can know I am doing the right things.

starz_gate: I bought mine for $14 it is a basic digital one. I am saving up to buy a really fancy shamancy one.

I don't weight either, we don't have any scales in the house. I think if we did i'd be on them everyday..i can't control my obsession with weighing so i don't do it. Occasionally i walk by weighing machines in shops and feel the urge to jump on but for the sake of all the shoppers around me i don't. :-)

I do the same thing. I go more by the way I'm feeling/the way my clothes are fitting.

The jean skirt thing is funny... I have about 3-4 shirts that are sitting in my closet right now. My favorites from about a year ago before I gained my weight back. I'm trying to get back down to the same size I was, so when those shirts fit me again, I know I've reached my goal. Not so much all about the numbers.

Im totally with you on this one. I used to be obsessed with weighing myself, so much so that it became a twice a day ritual. Lately though i find that my jeans do the job in telling me how much i weigh, without knowing the exact (sometimes daunting) number. I'll get back on the dreaded scale when the time is right... until then, my citizens don't lie :)

I'm with you - I don't weigh - I think we can be obsessive and critical enough. Plus I think it's healthier to do all your healthyeating/caloriecounting + exercise because it's how you want to live, not so you will have a better number on the scale. The number is not my reward and a less impressive number would not be failure either, then.

I don't have any smaller clothes to "get back into" because I haven't been this size since I was about 13! However, I do have one pair of 32"-waist overlong boys jeans I bought when I was about a size UK14  that I have now given to my boyfriend wrapped up in green ribbon that he can use as HIS goal jeans! Everything else has gone the way of the charity shop...

I moved overseas and haven't been able to find a pair of scales since then (and that was a couple of months ago). Before that, I weighed daily... Probably shouldn't have, but I'm recovered from anorexia and find it hard not to obsess. Not weighing has been relaxing for me in one way - it always got me so down - but has also definitely slowed down my weight loss for those last few pounds! So there are positives and negatives for both sides I guess.

Right now, I weigh in once a day because it helps me know if I'm in the right track or not. I don't really look at the daily fluctuations, I just look at the "trend". That may change, but for now, I like numbers. Considering I spend a large part of my life in pajamas, I can't really figure out if clothes fit better or not.

However, I do look at my body, and feel if things are getting more toned and slimmer or not. And I do look at a lot of my clothes that I can longer fit in (which is pretty much all of my jeans and some of my tops) and sort of see how much closer or not I am to fitting in them.

I weigh myself but not often. In the beginning I did everyday. Now once every few weeks or so. I go by how I feel and  how my clothes fit. Weight charts make people crazy. All of our bodies are different, we require different amounts of calories. Even people who are the same height and build can be totally normal and weigh differently. People are not meant to be exactly the same. I am tiny. 4'11" and 92-95LB and I eat a lot more than some taller, heavier people. You have to find your comfort level. I think we all have a so called "set Point" to me that is just a place where you feel comfortable. Comfortable in weight and how much you are eating. I can easily drop down to 89 LB but I am hungry all the time and it is not worth it.

After a long battle with the scale; I stopped weighing myself.  And; I'm a happier person for it.  I watch what I eat and I'm not going crazy anymore; it's just not worth it!!!!!  I'm going by how my clothes fit and how I feel.  I know my body; and I know that if I go past a certain weight; I feel awful; and I don't want to force myself into trying to get super-skinny b/c you know what??  My curves just won't allow it.  So.....good bye scale!!!!  :)

I know I can barely help myself when it comes to weighing in...So when I came back to school after Christmas, I left my scale at home. Weighed in once before I left and will weigh in when I get home this Saturday :)

I am NOT weighing in. I did on Superbowl Sunday (for the first time in about a month), on a scale ive never been on, after i ate and drank, and was 5lbs MORE than I thought.

BOOO.

I am NOT going to weigh myself more than once a month from now on.

I don't have a scale in the house and don't want one in the house. I weighed on my Doctors scale for years and it always weighed me the same weight so I know it's accurate. Now that i'm losing I will only weigh every 2 weeks or when I have a Doc appt or after my next period. That way i'm always pleasantly suprised with some kind of weight loss not matter how small I know I will lose something.

I don't trust other scales.

I've decided to stop weighing and just go by measurements.
It's VERY hard for me to do! I think I'll end up cracking and weigh once a week....

i just started here today but have decided that i'm not going to weigh myself for a while. I hate it when the scale drops just a tad bit each week or so. i like to see big numbers so i can stay motivated so this time around, im not weighing myself until however long i can stand it lol.

plus i find that if i see the weight go down a little, i give myself excuses to cheat which i really want to avoid!

i didnt weigh for years, and as soon as i did, my eating disorder developed and i got incredibly unhealthy and obsessed (down to 100 lbs @ 5'7). i gained weight, havent weighed since december and don't plan on it because i know what will happen.

I used to weigh myself regularly. But when i don't lose any weight i get demotivated and started over eating. I threw the sale away but continued with Good food and exercise. Now my clothes are fitter, yes I know lost the weight but I'm not going to step on the scales again.

Well I'm not alone so that's good!  I have a scale in the house but I don't trust it.  I do trust the one in the gym... which I could get on 5-6 times a week if I wanted to... I just don't.  I started off in the overweight column, though not by too much, and I'm trying to get back to healthy for now.  I'm taking the steps that I can right now and I guess I don't feel like weighing is gonna make the weight come off any faster than it went on.

However, my jean skirt that in January would barely even fit over my hips much less zip (I started a 10/12, that suckers a 6) ... it zipped yesterday!  Now I just need it to look how I want it to!   And I'm headed to Mexico in five weeks so I won't be slacking til then!
