I was just wondering how often everyone weighs. I am telling myself (I am pre-op) that I will only weigh myself once every two weeks or so, but I can see how the urge to weigh myself daily would be hard to resist.

Ignoring the scale allowed me to gain back what I had lost before on weight watchers a few years ago, plus 35 pounds. I have to weigh in daily so that I don't let the numbers jump 10 at a time before I realize it

my dr. told me to weigh everyday! however, i will not! i think it is over excessive. he says it keeps you in check.

I weight myself in the morning and in the evening before bed. I only record the weight once a week. As Tiffykins said our weight does fluctuate a bit through out the day. I do not get upset if nothing is moving because I know I am doing everything right and so the weight loss will continue.

Everyone needs to find what works for them. Possibly down the line I will weight myself less (but I wouldn't bet on it right now).

I am a slave to my scale. I wish I wasn't.

I use teh scale in the nurse's office every day after lunch, minus shoes. It is bad, but one of the requirements for the surgery the VA gives is to be at a certain weight, usually 5% lost. I watch to make sure I stay where I need to be. If I lose, great, if not oh well. As long as I don't add to. Plus I like watching the numbers go down for the first time in over 6 years. I know I am getting smaller because I am down to almost no work clothes that fit. My body seems to be staying proportionate, luckily enough.
