Janet Jackson doesn’t weigh herself

Janet Jackson stays away from the scales.

The singer doesn’t monitor her weight loss because she thinks it is unhealthy to step on the scales.

“I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost, only because I stay away from the scale,” she said.

“I don’t think [stepping on the scale] is healthy. You’re setting yourself up to fail and women’s bodies fluctuate every month – certain time of the month in particular – we bloat a great deal.

“It works, point blank. You don’t have to starve yourself getting there.

“I love caramel apples! NutriSystem doesn’t have that, so that’s probably my cheat food. I go out to dinner with friends [too], but then I just get back on it. It’s about maintenance.

“If I’m getting ready for something like a tour, I work out six days a week. I like to switch it up. I may go for a run or bike.

“I’m really happy with the way that I feel at the moment. I feel very good, and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this good.”
