2) Do you, and how often?
3) Why?

1)Yes
2) Once a day
3) Keep an eye on my overall progress.0 -
1) Yes
2) Yes, every day, first think in the morning
3) For feedback. I like seeing the overall trend, while at the same time recognizing how little a single point on the graph actually matters.0 -
1) Yes
2) Varies. I've had a toxic relationship with the scale in the past so I have to make sure I have a good headspace before I jump on.
3) It's a good tracking tool so I keep it around. More important for me is how I feel and how my clothes fit.0 -
1) Yes
2) Yes, first thing every morning
3) Keeps me out of denial. I look at the weight trends instead of a single data point (Happy Scale app). In the past when I avoided scale I ALWAYS gained. And much more than I would have thought.1 -
- yes
- First thing in the morning
- To start my day with some accountability

1. No, DW forbade me getting on hers b/c she was afraid I would break it!
2. I use scale in pool locker room a couple days a week. Like a Drs scale. I weigh with only my boxers on to inflate my ego by seeing a weight about two pounds below my official WW clothed WI number.
3. Because the scale doesn't lie even when I say I have been doing EVERYTHING right.0 -
1. Yes
2. Morning & Evening
3. Because I am ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder0 -
1. Yes
2. Every Friday morning.
3. I'm trying not to focus solely on weight but more on exercise and lifestyle (eating right, etc). If I get that in shape, the weight will take care of itself. That is my theory but I've only been doing it a few weeks. Still a work in progress.0 -
1. Yes
2. First thing in the morning, last thing at night and a few times in between.
3. It helps keep me focused on weight management.0 -
Yes
Every week to two weeks

Only have one at work
Weigh almost daily
Want to make sure I am tracking properly0 -
Yes
Couple of times a week
My official WI is at gym on Fri after spin class, but like to get some mid-week feedback. I've learned to go more on how my clothes feel rather than my weight, largely because of exercise-associated water gains really goof with my numbers.0 -
* I do weigh at home.
* I weigh once/day, first thing the morning.
* Though I purposefully didn't weigh at home in losing mode, now that I'm maintaining I find it helps guide my intake on a daily basis. I'm also informed about the 7-day moving average, putting a little big-picture context on how I'm doing.0 -
