Just Wondering....

I'm just wondering why so many of you weigh yourselves everyday. I'm not asking to be bitchy or judgy...I'm just curious is all.

I just find that weighing myself everyday just depresses me for the most part if I haven't had a loss. I weigh myself once a week, sometimes twice a week if I'm curious.

When I started coming on these boards I was very surprised at the number of people who said they weigh themselves everyday.

If you do, do you find it motivates you?

    I weigh myself daily and find it helps keep me on track. I don't get to stressed out by day to day fluctuations in my weight, but certainly have a buffer zone of about 3 lbs. If I go above that I know it's time to buckle down and get back on track.

    I weigh myself pretty much daily. I had a spell where I bounced around the same 1-2 lbs, up/down, up/down, up/down and I wasn't too freaked out by it. I'm now back on a downward trend, which is great! I'm going to try to go weekly, but I doubt I'll be able to make it. I bet I breakdown and peak at the scale by the weekend. Once I get to goal I can see myself weighing daily for accountability.
