Don't be scared of them, just a data point to help you. Regular tracking will give an average reading to help adjust your approach to what your target is

Yes, although if you move them and get off and on they vary in the readings, so I keep moving them until I'm happy, it's the magnification mirror I avoid it's scary.

It's not so much where they're at as it is whether they're moving up or down in the direction you need them to.

A lot of people use a tape measure body total now in stead.

Lol nope not scared of the scales! Weighing regularly when I was trying to lose weight helped immensely! I don’t weight often though now that I’m the body size I was aiming for!

I weigh myself most days. It’s just part of my morning routine and it helps me see what causes fluctuations in weight.

At the minute…no.

I’m eating like a horse while I’m working a strength program.

The end of that will see the scales dusted off as I shift into a fat loss phase. Then they’ll be used daily again.

It doesn’t matter how much you weight, it’s how you feel about the skin you’re in! Using scales just sets you up for disappointment ( for most anyway)

Get on the scales and either you’ve put on weight or stayed the same = it creates negativity, you comfort eat to feel better or binge a take out as a booster

Repeat at frequent intervals

They don’t worry me, there was a time I was becoming very thin for an unknown reason so kept check on that for a while but normality resumed and I pretty much stick within a pound or two at most of the same weight.

I bought those smart scales that check weight, BMI, body fat % etc. And I don't use them too frequently as I know I'm pretty healthy across the board,. I probably do focus more on the body fat percentage more than I should as I'm at 14% whereas I feel I could be around 12% if I really tried.

14% is very good unless you are a serious athlete/sportsman. I would have thought it is just about the lowest you can reasonably be if you want a sustainable body fat ratio.

Nope. Used to obsessed with them, scales said too light, head said too big, so part of my treatment was to avoid them. I know I’m overweight, but with BD issues, I have to be in a healthy mindset to step on them. I tend to go by the fit of my clothes now. Under active thyroid doesn’t help, and the lapse in follow up blood tests (lockdown meant I wasn’t followed up) but finally got the appointment. Poor nurse though, she knows I hate needles and the scales, but I’ve insisted they check my levels, so tomorrow I’m not sure which one of us will be more stressed, haha xx

I bought one of those all singing dancing ones that par with your phone to a tracking app, tell you all the percentages and whatnot. They're brill!... Aside from the fact I've only managed to get them to actually sync up maybes 5 times? They're forever having a meltdown, loss of pairing, stating they need to be recalibrated, lost signal, they're unhappy I'm too fuckin fat?... Anyhoo! Got fed up and went back to the mechanical ones that may be less accurate, but seem to bitch much less

Weighed myself for the first time in a year according to my repno scales. I put on a stone. So last 6 days I've crash dieted, ran 50 miles and been hard on myself.

Maybe shouldn't have weighed myself because actually I look just the same as last year.
