    I weigh a couple of times a day and hate that it fluctuates LOL. I am addicted to, but it's just the hope that it will read something lower everyday!! I don't know how to break the habit now, so I am right there with ya.

    I weigh myself every morning. The same every day. Of course you are going to flucuate during the day, clothes, food, etc.

    I am the same way! Soooo addicted!! What makes it bad is I have 2 scales! My hubby hid one, but I still have the one I love out! Every single morning I get on there after I go to the bathroom and before I get dressed!! I have no idea how to stop either. Yea I also weigh 2 or 3 times a day too!

    I weigh a lot. I donno why, I don't care that much about my weight LOL. I just like to see what happens during the day. It's always about the same at certain times of day, and I know when it's changing because it will be slightly lower throughout the day than on previous days. I'm not bothered by fluctuations though, usually just means I hafta go potty.:blushing: :laugh:

    I'm an addict too, my name is Christie ....lol. I cleaned our WW scale this morning prior to going on, then when I was up lbs that I didn't think I should be, I thought it may have to do with cleaning and/or re-positioning!!!:noway: Then bf told me he had weighed unbenownced (sp?) to me, so it happens to alot of folks, he's in my house and I didn't know :laugh:

    I am so addicted to the scale and unfortunately it can totally change my mood. I can't believe how much I can flucuate! One day I fluctuated 7 freakin' pounds overnight- I am not kidding! So I have resorted to weighing myself every morning after I go pee but before I eat or drink anything. If I gain then it makes me want to binge even though it should do the opposite.

    I weigh myself everyday first thing in the morning..........monitor my diet closely all day....then when I come home from work I weigh again.....I like to see how it fluctuate.....if I sta;y on the diet routine, I am not worried about the fluctuation....but if I deviate some on the diet and weigh myself...if it deviates too much, I work a little harder the next day on the exercise and water intake......but besides all this....I only count my weight for record once a week on Sunday mornings.........:grumble: what really kills me, no matter what my weight is on Sunday, I record it even if it's a little higher that a weight I took during the week that doesn't count.......but if it's higher, it just makes me more motivated to excell the following week...........and it does motivate me.................Carol :bigsmile:

    I weigh myself every morning at about the same time ... it helps me stay focussed on my goals and to keep meal planning & exercise high on my daily priority list.

    What's the big deal? Why are you all so angry at yourselves for weighing in? I don't get it.

    ... seems to me you're just adding stress and anxiety to an "issue" that really is a non-issue. if you're in the bathroom, and you happen to step on the scale during the day ... so be it.

    Did "they" say you shouldn't weigh yourself daily? Who the hell are "they" anyway?

    Probably the same "they" that tell you to cut back on dairy products because of high fat content and then tell us to eat more dairy because of the high calcium content. Or the "they" that tell you we are fat because we eat too much and then tell us to eat more or else we'll put our bodies in starvation mode. Or maybe it's the "they" who tell us not to eat rich chocolate sinful sweets and then make us chocolate flavored artificial sweetener loaded diet goodies to keep us addicted to the idea of dessert ....

    Weighing after everything you eat does sounds a bit extreme ...
    but what do you mean by "it got you into trouble last time?"

    I know that my doctor recommended only weighing my self once a week. His reasoning for it was the if you weigh yourself daily or several times a day if you see the scale go up which it does very often that you might get disouraged and binge or stop dieting or whatever it is you are doing to try and lose weight. I told my doctor though that I do best if I weigh myself every morning before I shower. He said that was alright but that I should try not to step on the scale through out the day. I know what you mean though about "they".

    When I used to weigh weekly I would weigh myself on Monday morning and then I would put my scale in the closet until the following Monday. It worked for me but I am sure some people would just go get it out of the closet if they were curious.
