So I was just wondering how often other people with the band typically weigh themselves?

do what works for you

Like CG says, whatever works for you.

I weigh myself first thing every morning. If the scale doesn't move, I don't let it bother me. I know I'm doing the plan.

Some ppl go ballistic if their weight doesn't change or they gain a little. They need to stay off the scale.

Its what you can handle.

I ballooned up to 251 for many reasons but one was because I didn't know or guage how out of control it was really getting. I didn't know because I never stepped on the scale. I won't ever balloon out of control again without knowing and seeing it. For me, I step on the scale every morning. It doesn't consume me but I need to know what is going on with myself. It's accountability for me.

Good luck on your journey!

I weigh every morning. I don't worry unless I have more than a 3lbs gain that doesn't go down in a day or two.

Twice a day...out of habit.....first thing in the morning, and later at the gym.....I don't know why...I can predict what it would be...guess I'm more afraid it will change significantly...

But for 2 years it has been holding steady with the same 5 lb fluctuation up and down....

me too...daily and I for one shouldnt because I focus too much on the number on the scale. It does fluctuate up and down 4 lbs or so which bothers me but in the same sense I know where I am at. When I do gain and it stays on...It makes me look at what I have been doing etc and think...then I have to kick it in the ass to get back to my lowest lb..and try losing from there again. It is a slow process but am going to try and stay the course. Im hoping for 2 years to have lost that 100 lbs if possible...that should hopefully be do-able!

I check my weight every morning. I kept a weekly journal and record my weight on Monday's. This help me keep control of my weight. If I don't see lost, I know I have to change things up.

Every morning!

I am an extremist and weigh myself twice every day. Once in the am and once in the evening. This also helps me gauge how I handle certain foods as I track all my food too! Had I been this diligent all along I would have never been 300+ lbs. you have to do what works for you and when it works for you. Had a done this on other diets the slightest fluctuation would have sent me on a downward spiral. But now that it's a lifestyle change I am more just curious how much I fluctuate on a given day and what my food choices were on that day. Good luck to you

Thank you for posting your personal preferences, it helps a lot to hear what other bandsters do!

Every single morning 5:30am on the dot.
