    I'm in a very small minority. I weight in only once a month but do my measurements every two weeks. I became so obsessed with the number that it made me feel horrible when it stayed the same even though I was going down in my clothing sizes fairly quickly. So I go mainly by measurements now.

    I used to weigh in once a week. Usually on Saturday mornings. Now I weigh in every two weeks Still on Saturday. I got sick of the scale battle and it just seems to work better for me.
  • i weight myself everyday, but i am going to start just recording it once a week probably sundays (I got the idea from here, thanks guys!)

    I too was obsessed with the holy numbers on the scale- now I weigh in twice a month and go by the tape measure.
    I started working out with kettlebells, so I'm starting to gain a bit of muscle mass which means I'm loosing #s as fast-
    big deal:bigsmile:

    I weigh myself 1st thing every morning , I dont pay too much attention to the number , as I know it can change daily. I record it usually once a week and thats when the number matters.

    It is a bit of an obsession , I dont think its unhealthy though

  • I'm totally obsessed. My fiance' says that he is going to hide the scales. I didn't weigh myself today, but I might again tomorrow. I don't know. . .Weight does have a tendency to fluctuate, and I need to be aware of this before I allow myself to get discouraged. With the wedding next month, I'm still trying to lose a little bit more weight.
