To Weigh Or Not Too Weigh That Is The Question

I have been going through this wonderful site for a few weeks now and was wondering why some were weighing themselves weekly/ daily? Is this required by the doctor? scales have not been very good to me and I would only weigh myself if I had to. I wonder when I have my sleeve revision done shortly if once a month would be enough?

I get excited about the weight loss, so I like to weigh more often. It encourages me to stay on the plan:)

I weigh my self once a week, and again on the 21 of every month, since i had surgery on the 21 i like to keep track of how much i lose over all every month. It is not required by my doctor, i just enjoy seeing every pound i lose. I also like to kind watch for stalls or if i gain anything so that i know if i need to watch my portions or add more exercise.

Thanks for replying I just feel so negative when there is no weight Loss on the scales however someone once told me if you go to the supermarket and look at a 1lb block lard every pound lost looks like that of your body it makes me think more positive. :-)))

Good idea Squisha I suppose I just have the negative vibes from the crap band I have in at present and not only do I need to get my food head back in shape I also need to be less negative about weighing myself.
