How often do you weigh yourself?
When I'm not dieting I rarely step on the scale. Usually because I don't like to see what it has to say. Now that I am trying to lose weight I am fighting the urge to not step on it everyday if not several times a day! I know it's recommended to weigh in weekly but how often do you weigh in?
