Why the scale sucks

I'm writing article in local paper and have chosen why to avoid the scale when trying to slim down. I've already stated the scale is a dumb instrument, weighing not only yr muscle, but yr fat, yr bones, yr veins, and so on.....and that how a gain of a measly pound or two can depress people so much, and to rely on the mirror, how yr clothes fit etc. I also will touch on much more efficient ways to measure progress, like calipers etc.

Anyone care to chime in? Keep in mind this is geared more towards the huge weight loss market and not so much BB. I also pointed out that lean muscle in, body fat gone at times will equate to more weight on the scale

No doubt, I know all of the above however the scale still mind fucks me and I "have" to know every once in a while what I weigh lol.
 
I have a love hate relationship with the scale. What I like about it is, it does not lie. Also I know if it says a certain weight I know I look great and if it says a certain weight I am a fat phawker.
