Like you and for the same reason I've chosen not to use those scales. I'd rather try on those skinny jeans that are too tight until they fit lol! Oh, the day I get my legs in those skinny jeans!!

Hi there,

Only found this thread now and I'm totally on board with the no scale approach. I've always used scales when 'dieting' and became a slave to the number on the scale. I also find that I'm quite an emotional eater so if I see the number I'm going to dwell on it, get depressed and eat. I've been in this lifestyle for almost 4 weeks now and absolutely love it. I enjoy the food I eat, I enjoy the way I feel and I enjoy the feeling of my clothes getting loser and all of the comments which I receive.

I have however decided that once I feel comfortable enough I will take that step onto the scale. I don't think it's going to be soon though and I'm not sure how I'm really going to get myself to do it as I'm enjoying the focus being on my and the food I eat and not the number I see every week/day. The number definitely does count but if in the beginning it's only going to cause a negative effect, why go through that. I have a scale but the battery is flat so every time I get curious I have enough time between travelling from my house to go and buy a battery that I'm actually just sabotaging myself!

No scale is an awesome way to go...... in the beginning!

I personally have quit weighing. That is what has gotten me defeated too many times. So I am with you, I did initially weigh and lost a few pounds and posted that. But it doesn't do me any good to weigh, I will quit.I am conscious of what I eat. I guess this will either work or it won't. Since I will never go back to high carb this may take awhile but I can't care.
