"As Liz, I got to 170 (in my petite 5,1) while not weighting and as she, I will never ever make that mistake again."

I, too, agree w/ Liz and Isiar - not owning a scale got me up to 165 a few yrs back (and I worked in a doctor's office w/ 2 scales available to me at any time!)

When my size 14's started getting snug - and then I saw a few pics of myself - I hopped on the scale at the office and did not like what it told me! Unfortunately, it was a couple more yrs b4 I started lcing. Since then, I now own a scale and use it every day - my friend challenged me to NOT weight myself every day for a week and I GAINED 4 lbs! So, for me, it helps me to stay on track. I also go by how my clothes fit, too - but understand those daily fluctuations - and the monthly ones, too!

Some day, I hope to wean myself down to only once or twice a week - probably once I reach my goal. But until then, this works for me and makes me comfortable - everyone is different
