Anybody else have this problem??!!
Have been a member of Slimming World a number of times over the last 5-10 years, so know exactly what I need to do & Im going to this year & stick to it!!! But, my problem is-I cant see the scales Im standing on!!! I really, really dont want anyone to know how much I weigh, as Im ashamed, didnt mind the SW consultant knowing as thats what their there for!! But, as Im struggling for money, its money I cant afford to pay every week, to SW!!! Id rather spend the money on food, to help me lose weight!! I would love to hear how others get round this problem, Im very much a person who needs to see the progress Im doing to spur me on!!
Also, if anyone would like to join me on my weight-loss journey, I would love that!!

Can you take a photo and then zoom in on the figures?

I know you say you can't afford it , but how about putting the money away every week and then when you reach goals , treating yourself to something.
Some weighing scales display your weight once you have got off them. Or how about trying to tilt a mirror so you can see ?

There are cheap scales where you connect them to an app on your phone and it logs it for you automatically so you can just seen on there Smile

I'm 6 days in but don't weigh myself until I feel thinner have lost a few stone

Mine show the weight when I get off.

I said I can't afford it , then I had to admit to myself that a tub of Ben and Jerrys if not on offer is almost the same price - and I would happily shove that in my basket - along with the chocolate , crisps and sweets
I'm saving by sticking to plan

I have this problem because the numbers are just so tiny - who designed these scales and why did I not think of this when I bought them?!

You can get talking bathroom scales.
