Random Scale Question

  • Does anyone know if keeping a scale in the bathroom is a bad idea? For instance, can humidity affect it (it's digital)? Naturally I don't have the box/directions anymore. The only other flat surface in my apt. is the kitchen, but maybe that's a good idea - seeing the scale may prevent me from snacking!

    I'm just wondering if the discrepancies I'm seeing are due to damage. Thanks for the help!
  • I've heard that humidity is not good for scales -- thus I have mine in the kitchen. It's a good thing and it does help with the extra snacking!
  • Hmmm....mine is in the bathroom. Maybe I should move it.
  • Mine is in the bathroom, too - but it is a well-ventilated room.

  • I knew it, the dang humidity!! LOL. The scale can be friend or foe. I can get myself really sideways with that scale. If it is up and I'm not expecting it, I go into a spin. If it is down, I get too cocky! I have asked my DH to hide it from me, but I always ask him to go get it back for me. Maybe the kitchen is a good place for it!
  • I've been weighing daily -- and I know there are people that say it's a BAD thing -- but it keeps me on track. I keep to program and stay away from the stuff I shouldn't be having (I am one of those uncontrollable types....who counts chips anyways when they have them all in a bag?????) I've been stuck for 2 weeks and the scale is moving incredibly slow. First 4 weeks was 5 pounds, last 2 weeks NOTHING. ARghhhhh
  • I try really hard not to weigh myself daily. A lot of times, I'll weigh myself right before my weigh-in to see how close my scale is to WW's. Then, I usually weigh myself a few days before WI to see how on track I am. When I first started WW, I would weigh myself all the time! I seemed to be doing better when I did that, so I don't know if I should go back to weighing myself daily...
  • I'm stuck at 189.2 --- (POINT 2!!! arghhh!). I will not give up...I will not give up!
