I thought I would be more obsessive about it and want to see every pound that comes off. Turns out, I weigh myself once a week. That way I don't see the daily fluctuations (which I know are normal, but I still don't want to see them lol) and the weight loss has a bigger impact. I'm still struggling with pain in my largest incision as well as the stomach muscle behind it (honestly, that muscle is the bain of my existence right now) so getting that wow factor from a week's worth of weight loss helps in dealing with the lingering pain.

For the first couple years I only weighed at my follow-up appointments. This was less a choice than it was bowing to reality since I didn't fit on home scales. When I could fit on a home scale I weighed whenever I saw a scale for a couple weeks just for the novelty of being able to. After a couple weeks the novelty wore off. I returned to just weighing at monthly follow-ups.

Once I stopped the monthly follow-ups I just weighed at medical appointments which pretty quickly became my annual physicals. I don't weigh at home.

Good luck,

I weigh myself every Monday morning, which was my surgery day.

Every morning buck naked after I pee.

I’ve got a fancy schamcy scale that logs all the info for me that i can view in graphs to my heart’s content lol.

3.5+ years now.

(It’s not for everyone, but I actually enjoy it.)

I weigh myself in the exact same clothes I did for my first appointment. Now, they are too big so I stand on the scale naked and hold them. LOL

I weight first thing in the morning after I pee buck naked every morning that I have a scale available to me. Having said that, I travel more than half of the time, so I only end up weighing myself maybe two days a week - Friday and Saturday, or Sunday and Monday, often. But this week I'm at my parents' house and I've weighed every day for almost a week!

I weigh myself every morning after I pee. Early out it can sorta mess with your head but I did it anyways. Couldn’t help myself. Lol

maybe every 2 weeks.

I weigh myself most mornings, nekkid, after peeing. Usually first thing after I get up. When I hit a rough stall, I won't do it every single day. I assess whether it is doing more harm than good and decide accordingly. But, I only "count" the weight that is on the anniversary of my surgery. I track all the weights in Baritastic, but the official weight in my weekly spreadsheet is Monday's weight (or Tuesday if I am out of town that weekend).

Every day is not for everyone, but I find it helps keep me on target. And, back in the olden days when I didn't weigh daily I would go off the deep end and then gain 10 lbs or whatever it would be. I'm not concerned about doing that now, but I'm trying to prepare myself for the long term and what I know helps keep me honest.

It's a very personal decision, since we are all wired differently.

Every morning here too - can't stop myself, it's so nice these days when the scale is always going down. I avoided scales for months at a time before. Once I stop losing it'll probably be once a week or so just to keep tabs on it.

Every morning after I go to the restroom, without any clothes as well. After, I input the value in an app that tells me my bmi, how much I lost that year, month, week Etc. I have been doing this for years.

Same, every morning after I am done with my business.

Weighing everyday is motivation for me for sure. And mentally I get the strength to keep going. Of course during stalls it can get a tad bit frustrating too but I don't beat myself up because back of mind I know that is to be expected and things will start moving again.

So yes, every morning indeed works like a charm for me physically and mentally.

I get up go to the bathroom #2 naked I weigh myself before I take a shower. I find I weighing myself after my shower I'm a little more. I have a smart scale but only log once a week.

Same!!

I tend to weight myself every morning after I pee and have been up for about 15-20 minutes.

I weigh *almost* every day, in the morning, after I pee, in panties and nothing else. (Why? I don't know-I just do, lol) Sometimes, when I hit a stall, I will stick out my tongue at the scale, but...?
