I didn't weigh myself at all during my entire period of intentional weight loss---not even for a starting weight. I tend to get discouraged VERY easily, and I knew that if I saw the number, it might make me so discouraged that I wouldn't even try to lose weight. So, I focused on changing my habits (eating better, eating less, and moving more), and I knew that eventually, I would lose weight if I consistently did those behaviors. And I did--much faster than I even thought I would. I started my plan in the second week of June 2011, and I did not weigh myself until the week after Thanksgiving, and by then, I was even lower than my [somewhat-randomly-chosen] goal weight.
