Sweetie! what are you doing that for? You are going to drive yourself insane girl! Put the scale away - seriously, or have someone hide it for you and bring it out once a week!

I know what an obsession a scale can be - I have been there long before I had my lap band surgery - I am wishing you luck and will power to work through this - sorry if this wasn't the answer you were hoping for as I know you were wondering if anyone else does this - but I just had to reply and let you know someone is thinking of you and wishing you well.

I weigh myself every morning, which is the same thing I did before the band. But the only weight number I count as official is the one I get from my doctor's office. She has an amazing scale that give a digital reading plus a print out of everything you want to know, BMI, weight, %%%.

I see the doctor once a month and I measure inches once a month. I log the data into my journal.

It was driving me crazy too. I decided to just weigh once a week - I do it Friday mornings. I'm sure my weight goes up and down thousands of times between my weigh ins, but spending that much time worrying about the ups and downs was a big waste of time. Good luck to you. Becky

I to am a victim of the scale. I dont know whats harder......not snacking or not weighing

I hear you on that!!! I feel as if I am obsessed some days. I try really hard to keep it to once in the morning but it seems to be something I obsess on.

Congrats on your weightloss that is awesomw:laugh:

Oh yeah I'm totally obsessed...I weigh every morning after I've peed and if I've lost a pound a update my ticker....which I am in fact doing right now! Although my official weigh in is on Saterdays....I think its fine to look everyday I find it incouraging and helps to keep me honest with food choices but thats my opinon about it.

The second I get up in the morning, after I pee in the morning, after I have coffee, before I get dressed, after I get dressed, after I come home from the gym, before I jump in the shower, after I jump in the shower, before lunch, after lunch, before I get my jammies on, before I go to bed........ I think you see what I am sayin' here!

That's sooo funny! That was totally me. Now my husband hides the scale from me and brings it inside on Saturday morning. Usually around Thursday is when I start getting anxious about it. I've heard that your weight can fluctuate as much as 5 pounds in one day.

Mine for sure does fluctuate during the day. I used to get really uptight about it but not anymore.

You stole what I was going to write!:thumbup: I think you must have a peep hole in my bathroom or something because that is what I do!:smile: I have a digital body fat scale, and I will weigh myself 2 or 3 times in a row because it will sometimes change by an ounce or two!

I only weigh once a week. Every thursday and I document it on my calendar.

Do I want to weigh everyday?...YOU BET! But I keep myself from doing it because the fluctuations will drive me crazy and I have enough emotional stuff going on without inflicting more on myself.

Good luck, lucy

Yeap, thats says it for me.... Woohoo, I peed .6, according to the scale, or Woohoo that Protein drink added two pounds, etc. but, I only really count it on "my official weigh in day - Tuesday" but it is bugging the stew out of me, up - down, up - down, up - down. I think I tell myself that I'm trying to figure out what works better, and was does'nt. But I don't think thats working either!

I am glad I am not the only neurotic one!
