Every day, first thing. I also graph it, lol. I really "count" the Monday morning weight, that's sort of my weekly gauge to watch the trend. It keeps me focused, and I love graph because the trend line is in my favor :) I think if I were in maintenance, it would give me the information needed to increase exercise, decrease calories, etc. Also, I can't stand the suspense.

Once or twice a week depending on how things are going. Sometimes I like the progress report mid-week, especially if I feel like I need a wake-up call.

I weigh daily and enter changes in MFP. I count Wednesdays as my official weight for the week since that was my surgery date.

I weigh every morning. I only record losses. If I go up a few pounds I psych myself out to work to get them off again.

In the beginning, every morning, crack of dawn, no clothes and after a session with the toilet. Did this until month 5 and entered everything about weight change and why ( if only a hypothesis). This helped me to see the trend and figure out what works.

Then I started to weigh every Monday, same time. For last 2 months, I weigh once a month or so, just to see what the scale thinks of me after I dumped her for the mirror. I like how the mirror looks back at me now. All sexy.

Today, I have a pretty "cool" relationship with my scale now; it is pretty stale and she is more of a burden then the hot flame she used to be. She gets terribly lonely and clingy, desperately wanting love and attention. When the crying gets too loud I will get on it for a little affair, but no more. It is more for her then I. And I feel so dirty afterwards, especially after considering all the nights I spend with the mirror before sleeping.

I think, once I weigh in at my PCP's office, I will limit myself to weekly.

I weigh every Sunday morning after waking up and going potty.

I weigh daily and record losses in MFP, if my weight fluctuates back up, I don't record the gain and then will record the next loss when I see that I am below my last recorded weight.

I count my wednesday weight in order to track my weekly progress.

I had a three week stall during my preop process.. I gave my scale a bit of a time out during that time because I was getting frustrated, but ordinarily I'm not bothered by fluctuations or up to a week without any loss so I like to weigh daily.

I weigh daily...I know, I know. It hasn't moved in a week so I'm ready to throw it outside...let it spend it's nights alone in the cold and dark.

I weigh once a week now but I used to weigh everyday and that would drive me insane. Nothing irritated me more than to see a new low and not see that number again for another week or 2 because the scale went back up. For my sanity I have to weigh once a week.

I weigh daily' date=' once when I get up, again before and after a pee, again before and after a poop, when I get home in the evening after work.

NO! I'm not obsessing. I just have a boring life. :rolleyes:[/quote']

Me too! I weigh way too often and sometimes it goes up a few pounds during the day! Depressing! I need to stop this obsession!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
