I know positive reinforcement is important when you're trying to lose weight or maintain the weight you have, but if you buy a scale and keep it in your bathroom (especially a pink plushie scale), wouldn't you want the numbers?
After your third plate of super-sized nachos, is it really going to help you to step on a scale and see "lovely," "sexy," and "perfect"? If you're going to forego numbers, you might do it by getting my new invention, the Mom Scale.

Whether you have a goal weight in mind or are working hard to maintain your current weight, you need a way to monitor your progress. Looking at yourself in the mirror or seeing how your clothes fit works for some people, but weighing yourself on a scale is much more precise with no room for exaggeration.

We keep a scale in our bathroom, and I must admit I weigh myself sporadically, but at least once a week. I don't think I am obsessive about it, but I found that it helps me to maintain my weight. If you're trying to lose weight, studies show that weighing yourself daily is an effective way to make it happen.
