I think each person needs to find what works for them... Maybe if you don't get on the scale you feel like you're not doing your job. But I think the scale can be a fair-weather friend.

I'm not doing so well right now, but a year ago I was the Atkins poster child. People I don't even know were stopping me in the hallways to ask how I lost my weight, and tell me how good I looked...

And I never weighed myself. Not even once.

I think numbers are too easy to obsess over. You might be making great progress, but if you weigh yourself everyday you don't really see it.

To me, what was key, was losing inches - seeing how well my clothes fit, and of course - buying all new clothes!

Now that I'm a size up from where I was, I know how right I was. If I weigh myself I'll get even more depressed. Rather, I just want to fit into my great clothes again - that is my goal and desire.
