OK I admit I am a daily weigher. I work for a cardiology office and the professional scale is located directly in front of my office. So I make a point to weigh once everyday. Usually right after I have gotten to work and removed my coat(less people around to peek!) I make sure not to get in a tizzy if the scale moves a pound or two. But, what I have found is my days that the weight does come off are usually wed/thurs. I am 14 weeks out. Lost almost 20 the first 2 weeks then slow and steady since. Just under 2 pounds a week. But it never fails I get to work Monday and I haven't moved since Friday, tues I go up half a pound maybe more then BOOM wed hits and the gain plus some have gone, thurs is also a loss. Then a maintain.

Those who do not weigh everyday or are against the scale please just move on. I know there are those like me who do weigh in religiously, as before you have to take it with a grain of salt. I no longer get emotional when I step on the scale its like brushing my teeth! Just another chore. It will help me as time moves on to stay in check as maintenance looms(not even close yet). I used to be a scale avoider, that is how I got to my highest weight, I buried my head in the sand. Didn't listen when thigns got tight just went and got a bigger size. Well that attitude is gone!

I just thought it weird how my body is behaving. I am not complaining a bit, the loss is there and I am happy for that.

I am with you 100%. I like weighing myself everyday. The scale is not my enemy. The only time in my life I stopped weighing myself was when I first met my husband. Typical romance bliss. Finally I weighed myself 2 years later and I was obese.

Bottom line is the scale is just another tool in my tool box.

I am also constantly on the scale. I use it at least twice a day lol. I have also noticed that when I do lose a few lb's is one day to the next its not a gradual thing through the week where im losing .5lb's a day.

I weigh daily and I very rarely lose a lb in a day. Usually it's .2 .4, and it slowly adds up to a 1.5 a week or so.

I am a daily weigher and I don't notice any trends. I'm still new, only 6 weeks out and it goes down a little everyday.

I just wanted to mention that I liked your comparison of your scale to brushing your teeth and another poster saying it's just another tool in her toolbox... Well said! That's how I feel too.

I'm a daily weigher too. I first use the bathroom (they say u shouldn't have a full bladder lol). Then I weigh myself. N the first month i was loosing at least 3-5 lbs a week n now I am loosing .2 to .6 ever other day or so. But I too hv noticed that all weekend I weigh the same then Tuesday comes around and the scale goes down.

I'm a daily weigher as much as I don't want to. I'm a little over 2 weeks out and getting frustrated. I've lost about 14 lbs which I know is good. But some days I'll be up 2-3 lbs and then 3 days later I'll be down 3.5. I weigh in the am when I've pottyed and I'm naked. I only record my weight when I've lost and I've noticed for some reason I weigh less in the middle of the day. I'm ready to see some bigger numbers.

I weigh twice a day. Morn and night. If I gain weight I know what food is the culprit or what trend is causing the scale to show a lower number!
