To weigh or not to wiegh?

Do all of you weigh yourself once a week? Maybe this is bad or maybe not I don't know, but I wait until I'm at the doctor's office once a month to weigh because I thought maybe it would help me not focus on the actual pounds so much. What do you guys think?

Funny, if I don't like the results, I try and move the scale a few inches in a different position on the floor, sometimes that works, it's all in the head....

OMG Gary I'm sooooo glad I'm not the only person who does that!! I usually move it around the bathroom floor and weigh myself a few times and then only accept the lowest displayed weight! Lol! :(

HAHAHA I do it too! Or weigh myself and come back a few minutes later and do it again and sometimes in that few minutes I lose 200grams :( Weird I know but hey I'll take it :)

I am sooo glad that I' not the only neurotic person moving the scale for better results....lol.....

I just realized I should get a metric scale! Saying you lost 2 pounds this week is ok - but saying 907 Grams! WHOA! Not to mention, most people around these parts wouldn't have a clue what value 907 grams was anyway!

Nonetheless... I too am a daily scale addict. It just helps me stay focused. I'm much more likely to adhere to healthy food choices by "fearing" the scale will tell on me tomorrow.
