I never even owned a scale until last year. I just went by how my pants fit. But I have discovered that if I weigh myself every day I am more motivated to keep on track. Yes, I understand about water weight and fluctuations throughout the day. So I weigh myself every morning when I first get up. I don't freak out but if the number has gone up then I know I shouldn't have any extra/bad snacks that day.
That works for me too. The trick is not letting it be a source of neurosis. I am not objective enough to judge by looking in the mirror or even pants fitting (denial!) so the scale is my friend right now.
