How Often Do You Weigh?

I would love to hear about weighing habits from everyone. I am one of those people that weigh every morning and often get discouraged if I see an increase or if the scale doesn't move. I am thinking about asking my husband to hide my scale and just weigh at the doctor's office every month. I might go through withdrawals. What do you do?

    I weigh every single day and so that I can keep that accountability going. I also track all of my foods on myfitnesspal and go to the gym for 5-8 hours per week. Don't get discouraged and keep up

  • Good Idea...then I can stay accountable as some of the other ladies suggested but only count the weekly weigh-in

  • Every morning and record weight every sunday morning. I got to 400lbs by not using the scales am not gonna go there again. Accountability keeps you on track...

I track on lose it.com....I will have to check out my fitness pal. Thanks!

I've been weighing everyday too! It's quite addictive! This week I'm trying something new...once a week weight check!

I've been weighing everyday as well. It can be discouraging and I'm trying to stop. However, as WestTnGirl said...it can keep you accountable too. Yeah...that's what I'm going to go with. Its not an obsession. Its keeping me accountable. :) best wishes to you all!

I only weigh in at the doctor's because day-to-day fluctuates so much that it would drive me crazy. And scales can really vary so there are only 2 that I consider the actual true numbers: The one at the doctor and the one at the surgeon's office.

About once a month to 6 weeks. It's worked well for me so far.

I think that I would drive myself crazy with it too. But I am concerned about waiting a month to weigh-in. Maybe I will have my poor hubby hide the scale and bring it out once a week for a weigh-in at home. hmmm...still need to work on this plan. I just know how obsessive I get with it.

I weigh myself daily and only record it once a week on Thursday. I don't obsess over the daily number, only the weekly one! :lol: It works for me!

everyday, no shame here.

I weigh whenever I'm in the bathroom ha ha. I just get curious but I don't freak out about it , and I only record it weekly.

I weight myself almost every day. LOL.

I weigh myself everyday, but I usually skip Mondays!

Everyday.

Thanks guys...I am starting to see that I am not the only one who does this. Maybe I am normal after all :)

Everyday. I guess it's just too important to not be a part of my daily life anymore.
