It is SOOOO tempting to jump on and off the scales! But then so soul destroying when they move in every direction except the one you want them to...!

I read somewhere a fairly fool-proof way of dealing with this...throw your scales out, find a pay and weigh scale in a shop and once a week, weigh yourself in as near as possible the same condition that you were weighed in, the previous week.This way, you know the scales are in the same spot, and because of having to pay, say 20p everytime you weigh, you will soon find yourself only weighing once a week!!!
I think this could be a good plan, for I am one of those that jumps on the scale two or three times a day, if I am not happy with the first result!!! But, as yet I have not been strong enough to carry this out....one day....one day!

Hi Teel

Will try taking the battery out and if that doesn't work will follow your suggestion. I'm worried weighing myself in shops though that people are thinking "why is she weighing herself, can't she tell she's fat"!

I weigh myself in Asda at the back of the checkouts. It isn't exactly what I want but I can't afford to go to a slimming club. It is off putting though as they have little kiddies ride on thingy at the side. And I feel that everyone is watching me as I stand on the scales. The machine also says "please stand up straight and still, measuring your weight and height". Thank god it doesn't actually yell out my exact weight as well or I would die.

I think it is just human nature, there aren't many people I know that are trying to lose weight who can manage to just weigh themselves once a week, even those that pay to go to slimming clubs, they still have a sneaky look on their own scales, Yes..including me and it is amazing just how much weight you can gain and lose over the course of a week on a daily basis.
I think Teel is right the only way to stop yourself doing it is if you don't have any scales in the house.....hubby paid a lot of oney for my scales...don't think he would be very happy if I threw them out

I am currently getting weighed every Saturday morning at WW and never ever get on ours at home. If i wasn't getting weighed at WW I would be on them every morning. I only ever get weighed at home first thing on a morning, couldn't bear to see the difference in weight as the day goes on!!hee hee

A 4lb loss at this weigh-in, not bad for me for a fortnight.

Excellent Leigh, well done!!

COO!! TQ, YOU MUST BE AN ANGEL WITH HEAPS OF WILL-POWER!!
