    I have some. But they don't work right. They give different weights depending what surface you put them on and always weigh light anyway.
    DS likes playing with them, but they're not much good for anything else.

    I don't have any at all. If anything i would be one to go by the way my clothes fit me. I had a hand me down set of scales but i know they were never accurate, i think they were a little on the light side.

    Where do you people go that you can weigh kids? Mine are too big for the parcel scales at the post office and one gets "booooooooooored" at the doc and the other freaks out at being locked in so I try not to take them to the doc if at all possible.

    Mind you, DD#1 has been almost 30kg for the last few years but has grown at least 6 inches taller ...

    We don't! Shel and I have never had a set of scales in the whole time we lived together. My history of anorexia was why we never had them when we first met. We have just never bought any. I think think they are necessary.

    We do have a Wii Fit thing, but I am lazy and haven't been on it since January. I haven't weighed myself since then LOL!

    We too go on how our clothes are fitting. For paracetamol, we use Dymadon, and the highest dose they have is for a weight that she was about 6 months ago. So I just look up the dose for weight, and do a bit less than that.

    Without scales, how would you know whether your suitcase is overweight or not?

    Plus it can be helpful to weigh the kids every now and then. But otherwise, I agree with you. I don't know when I last weighed myself.
