I was banded on 12-29 & was losing around a lb a day, then .3, ,3,.0,.6 & today a gain of 1.4lbs! It sets my mood too much that early in the morning. Going to try a couple of times a week instead of the daily check. No change in eating, & added 1/2 hr walking my dogs to boot!

Everyday. I can handle the little ups and downs, but I do get frustrated sometimes too. I tried to do once a week, but if I wake up "feeling heavy", I want to know. Although, I can pretty much tell by my eating whether it's just a bloated feeling or if I have indeed put on a lb or two.

I usually weigh myself weekly I don't have a scale at home (broken) so I weigh myself at work.

My dr said once a week is enough....BUT I weigh myself every morning and every night. I don't know why I feel the need to do it, i think I am so paranoid that I will gain that if I know I can nip it in the butt right away.

...funny how things change, prior to my band I refused to get on a scale... i lived in denial, now i am the complete opposite

I weigh everyday. I'm the type that if I don't, I will constantly be thinking that I am gaining tons of weight. I also do this in the morning after my shower and naked.

I use to weigh myself every day...became obsessed with it. When I asked my doctor why my weight fluctuates so bad, he told me that I needed to pick ONE day a week to weigh myself at the same time. So now I weigh myself on Saturday morning when I wake up. At first I had my husband hide my scale so I was not tempted to weigh every morning. I made a chart with all the Saturday dates through the end of the year so I can track my progress. Good Luck to you!

I love that idea. I had him hide credit card when I ebay'd too much, LOL. So why not the scale. I too weight myself every day and get frustrated if it's up a day or two. I am absolutely going home from work and asking him to hide the scale from me, he'll do it! Fixes that problem. Thanks!

I weigh myself once a day first thing in the morning but only record my weight once a week. I like to do it daily as if the scale has gone up a 1lb i work harder that day to get rid of it, i know sometimes if u gain it can be distressing but i am over that now and accept the odd lb either way with no emotional pressure

I weigh myself every morning. I have been in a rut for the last month with very little weight loss. My clothes feel so much better though so I think it is a win. I used to feel that I had no control of my weight and now with weighing myself I feel I have a sense of control. I dont get too frustrated if my weight is up but I reflect on the day before. Did I eat too much? Did I drink enough Water? Did I move my butt? Usually the answer is the reason for a weight gain. I resolve to do better and move on.

This is a good question. I personally don't have a scale at home. I think If I did I would be weighing myself everyday or more than once a day. I know I would be a compulsive weigher. So..I usually weigh myself at my mom's house or at work. Last week I made a trip to my mom's just so I could weigh myself. I felt like I had gained like 20 pounds. It was just my "vistor" making me feel bloated. I am really wanting to get a scale for home but, I feel like it might be a bad idea. I know I would get discouraged. So...I guess mom will be happy I am coming over to visit more often.
