How often do you weigh yourself?

A friend told me that if she weighs herself everyday she gets discouraged. I do it everyday and I sort of feel like that - but in the end, I've stuck to my diet (most of the time) and am doing pretty well.

So how often do you weigh yourself, and is there a reason behind it?

Wow! So many people weigh themselves everyday. Sweet :-)

I guess Steph and I aren't so weird afterall.

I weigh myself once a week, every Thursday morning after I'm done with the gym for the week.

I weigh myself 3 times a day... when I get up in the morning, when I come home from work, and before I go to bed. I know, it seems obsessive, but it is how I keep myself on track and know if I need to work out harder !!!

Hehe. I don't think it matters as much...It looks like everyone does it. and when you've lost as much weight as you have, it obviously hasn't effected you negatively.

:laugh:

I weigh every morning and I love seeing the numbers drop. It is fun to see it!

It certainly is :laugh:

I weighed myself everyday when I was losing, and now 2 years on, I still weigh myself everyday lol.

It's become a habit, and I don't think it's a bad one. I was aware of daily fluctuations, but if the scale showed me heavier than the day before, I worked out harder that night. And I consistently lost as a result.

Now I weigh myself more as a matter of habit. I can tell without weighing myself these days if I've gained a couple of lbs!

Every day, first thing in the morning naked.

I track it every day on a wipe-board calendar that I have tacked on the inside of the bathroom closet. I put a number on my weight loss on Mondays.

For me, when I don't weigh everyday I am not accountable and I find myself eating more. II seem to either weigh everyday or never, and when I'm trying to lose weight everyday is better than never :laugh:

Me too! If I put on weight from a fluctuation, I just work harder lol.

I love your tattoo. You're one hot mama!

I am weighing myself only at the doctor's office - I know that I can easily become obsessed to things - so I am not allowing myself to making it be about the number.

i am not going to lie - it is way exciting when I get weighed there :laugh:

I am obsessed with the scale and often weigh 2-3 times a day...but only count the monday morning weigh in as official.

Hehe, I'll bet! You get the chance to see all of that weight drop off at once!

I would totally do that if I had control over myself :biggrin:

Every single day!!

I weigh myself every morning and record it in MyNetDiary.com along with everything else. I also measure myself every other week because I know that if the scale is not moving I know that my body is adjusting :laugh: My therapist said that she already sees a difference in my face.

I weigh myself everyday to keep myself on track, but only count Saturdays.
