I am so right with you in terms of getting rid of the scale. I am one hundred million percent done with my scale. My ticker is not accurate anymore.

I would weigh myself pretty much every time I used to bathroom at home and it just messes with your mind. And personally, I don't care what the number says. I want to feel my pants getting looser, I want to see muscle definition and all that. Until I start seeing changes like that, I am not weighing myself at all.

I weigh in on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays. I find that doing it everyday drives me insane, but not doing it enough causes me to think I can cheat all the time because I will have been "good" enough of the time.

Sometimes if I really feel antsy I'll weigh in on a Tuesday or something, but I only record the days I'm supposed to.

That's so funny that this thread was just posted. I just decided last week that I would only weigh on Sunday mornings now.

I don't like weighing everyday. It fluctuates so much based on what time in the morning you do (sometimes I'm at 6 am for work, sometimes I sleep in until 10), what you ate last night, the salt content of your previous day etc etc. And when I weigh everyday I expect loss everyday.

So I'm hoping that by only doing it only once a week if I see a pound or two loss it will be better than watching myself go up and down every day of the week. And it may have been lower on Wednesday than it would be on Sunday but as long as the trend of the weight are going down, I think it will be happy.

Also, knowing I have to weigh in on Sunday and looking forward to that day and seeing it go down I'm hoping to curb some of my typical weekend binging.

I leave my scale over at my moms house. And since I only weigh myself first thing in the morning, since I am always more weight in the evening than in the morning (water weight, etc, fluctuations i can't control) and i've found the morning weight to be a more reliable #, I rarely weigh myself now! haha

I can't tell you if it's working as far as losing lbs goes or not, but my jeans are looser and my husband has noticed a difference in me already. I've not weighed for almost 3 weeks now and I'm scared to get on there and see a gain, but i'm almost positive I've lost since i'm feeling smaller, etc. Anyway, to go from compulsive weigher to a almost never weigher like overnight has been weird. But I am a lot happier right now, not freaking out over my weight 30 times a day.

I definitely need to limit how much I get on my scale. I get on it everyday, sometimes a few times a day.... I should just get rid of the thing altogether because my mom and my best friend use it too and all it does is make us frustrated.

Very well done, as you can see, I'm scale-free.
Thing is the scale is a tool, as much as a spoon is, but you don't get frustrated if your spoon isn't looking at you right, while you get frustrated if the scale doesn't. Well, at that point the scale becomes a judge more than a tool, and it's time to throw it away.
You can have better rewards looking at how clothes fit you and how you feel better yourself, not from weight, that you know may increase or decrease with nothing...

Ugh, I've had it with scales. I weighed myself at the gym (on one of those old school ones) and I'm 212. Now, I'd normally be thrilled about that - but when they weighed me at WW on Tuesday (AFTERNOON) I was 215. So I'm starting to second guess myself and I'm just going to leave it up to the lovely professionals. And maybe just weigh myself on Tuesday mornings to see how much of a difference there is.

Oh my goodness, I envy you ladies. I've been obsessive about stepping on the scale every morning. I don't think I'd be able to limit it to once a week.
