The scale is a useful tool for both accountability and tracking progress, but it's certainly not perfect!

For some weighing themselves is a horrible experience, and imo the whole point in trying to lose weight isn't to make you feel worse, it's to make you feel better. So if you really really hate the scale you don't have to use it.

So while it's useful it's definitely not mandatory.

But I do believe some people could benefit from using it on a regular consistent basis.
