I disagree with # 8. I hardly ever use a scale. I think people are obsessed with quantifying everything. Just look in the mirror, if you look fat to yourself, time to lose "weight". Well, really, time to lose fat. Proper diet and exercise will do that. If you are physically active and acheive a caloric deficit, you will lose fat.

Look in the mirror, though not every day. If you're chubby, lose fat. If you like what you see...great. people are so entranced by those scales. Sure, having a weight in mind is good for goal setting, but who really knows how much they want to/should weigh? If your goal is 170 and you get to it and look in the mirror and say, "hey, I look pretty good." Then two weeks later, you look in the mirror again and say "hey, I look pretty good," but then step on the scale and it says 173. Most people go crazy and try to lose those three pounds.

I say use the scale for general goals, and use the mirror for specific goals. Unless you are in some competition and need to be a specific weight for it, fine. You need the scale. Other than that, you only need your eyes.
