I have only just started the 5:2 diet. I have managed three successful fast days so far but I am obsessed with the scales. My weight is fluctuating all over the place and has the potential to sabotage my commitment which would be a disaster as I want to do this for life for the health benefits (slightly paranoid due to high risk category for cancer). So...I am publicly committing to abstaining from weighing AT ALL until 8th May when I will report my progress. Have always been addicted to the scales so this will be hard. Watch this space......

As a confirmed daily weigher, I applaud you! It will be wonderful for you to weigh in a month's time - I look forward to see how well you have done 
Just remember though, there are lots of reasons for daily fluctuations (up and down), so don't be despondent about that. There are some excellent threads on here about why the scales show increases.

I am a daily weigher as well. I need to keep a close eye on it. It is very motivating when things are going well, but can be disheartening when things aren't going well. I do recognise in myself when I'm slipping in my resolve a little, and that I don't face the scales. This is the slippery slope for me. Well done for deciding to put the scales away. I look forward to hearing how you get on.
Tell us how you do!
I weigh everyday because it gives me the strength to carry on and it tells me a lot about what I should and shouldn't eat.

I stopped weighing myself and use my measuring tape instead. More reliable and better news!
Like Grace0, I use a measuring tape not the scales; weight levels fluctuate so frequently that it can be disheartening if you weigh daily. I measure my waist to hip ratio once a week and use that as a guide.
Speaking as someone who is looking for any reason not to diet and had high motivation to give up: There are no scales where I live, I haven't found any - so I only have a few measurements.
Everyone knows measurements will change slowly. I have always given up because my weight didn't behave as it should.
I have no idea how much weight I have lost.
