How often do you weigh yourself

For me it once a week on Wednesdays, why Wednesdays I'm not sure it happened that way. If there been a small or no loss its hard not to get on before my next scheduled weigh in but so far I've resisted the temptation.

  • I weigh daily, 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.

everyday- once twice three times, sometimes on two scales....yup I am nuts.

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.

Oh my. Thanks for a good laugh!

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.

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!
