Hi! Just want to tell you why I don't own a scale. When I was going through my weight loss, I would weigh myself once a day, then it progressed to several times a day. It turned into an unhealthy obsession with me... it stressed me out so much and I would get upset when I would work so hard to loose the weight and didn't see the results I wanted. I finally just tossed my scale and go off of how healthy I feel and how I look. For everyone it's different, some people it's motivating and others it makes it harder. Just go with what feels best for you!
