I'm curious to know what other people are doing. How often do you weigh yourself? Do you measure yourself? Do you go by the fit of your clothes?

In the past, when I've lost weight, I've weighed myself on a weekly basis. I think when I get banded, I'm going to try to check my progress no more often than once a month - I'll weigh myself, take my measurements, and take a progress photo once a month. I'm hopeful it will help keep me from obessessing.

All you bandsters, how are you keeping track?

Prior to surgery, I never weighed myself - didn't even own a scale. Post-surgery, I was going in to either the doctor or the nutritionist every week for 4 weeks so I got weighed there. I don't see the nutritionist again for a couple of months so I was forced to buy a scale - I'm supposed to weigh myself once a week and keep a diary of my weight loss. This helps me ensure that I'm losing 1-2 lbs a week. Now I tend to weigh myself every morning (my nutritionist said it's better to weigh yourself in the early evening because most people are dehydrated in the morning) but I try to only take the weekly weight to heart.
