Once a week, first thing Monday morning. And if I forget, I wait until the following Monday morning. I've been a slave to the scale in the past, letting the number it shows dictate whether I was happy or sad, and the hell with that. :cursing: Once a week is plenty for me.

My surgery day was a Tuesday, so I weigh myself on Tuesdays. Tomorrow is a big weigh in for me, as tomorrow is one month since I was banded. At the three week mark I had lost 28 pounds so we'll see what a month brings.

I weigh myself every morning before I get in the shower because it helps to keep me on track for the day. If I think that I haven't lost anything for a while or that I'm off track, it helps to keep me on. If I have lost anything, it's a great motivator to stay on track.

I even have a scale at work but that one measures body fat, etc. So, sometimes in the afternoon I'll hop on it, too. I know - I'm bad. A total scale freak.

I just want to see ONE-DERLAND so bad one of these days. I just know it will happen. It has to, right? :thumbup:

I only weigh at Dr. appts

I also weigh myself everyday - right after my shower. I know I shouldn't.

Okay, even though my ticker thing says my starting weigh was 140 kilos; I guessed that and I put down 5 kilos lost on my ticky thingy as a guess as well.

I asked the dr not to tell me what I weighed when I first met him; then I did the same at the hospital.

Tomorrow I go in for my two week post op meeting and am in two minds as to whether I want to find out how much I've lost since starting Optifast (26th August) to now two weeks post op.

If I haven't lost that much I may just fall apart...so maybe it's better to not know for now.
