Here’s how I weigh Toby (it’s a real grocery store scale that I was able to buy from someone who got it when Whole Foods closed one of their stores here.) (He doesn’t like it.) And he weighs 15 pounds!
I don’t own a scale and until I was diagnosed with lymphoma, I declined to be weighed at the doctor’s office too. My clothes tell me when I’ve gained or lost weight. Knowing the number just stresses me out and tempts me to go on a diet. With lymphoma, though, I think it’s important that my oncology team can track my weight over time.
I have been working outside a bunch lately so use a daily/every other day routine as I get out of the shower to keep up with my weight. Tells me if I may need to worry about getting cramps overnight due to loss of body fluids from sweating.
At least once a week.
Does tripping over the scale count?
@tweezak Sure does!

@mediocrebot non-linear scale?
I have to admit, I only really care about my weight when I visit the doctor.
How can the doctor make me feel so must shame with just a look. My wife can’t even do that.
@hchavers The doctor’s scale ALWAYS shows you a few pounds heavier than the home scale, too.
@hchavers I always say, “Heavy shoes.”
@hchavers You can always say “no” when asked/told to be weighed. I’ve done that for many years even when the nurse or assistant insists.
I rarely check, only when I think it has gone up or down (yes, that happens but not often enough or far enough).
if it’s been left in the middle of the floor, stepping ON it is easier than stepping OVER it.
Whenever I go to Publix
@llangley That is my weekly weigh in as well.
I’ll check my weight maybe once a year.
