    I've heard alot of advice that says to get rid of the scale or weigh yourself less, but I do it every day. I don't obsess about it. I just really enjoy getting a good idea of my average weight, so I weight every morning then record my weekly average into my spreadsheet which has a pretty graph to show how my weight fluctuates :)

    Once a week max, I find my weight fluxuates day to day with water gain/loss etc - at least that's the theory!

    I weigh myself tuesday morn after being up but not eating for about an hour. I always weigh less after being awake longer, not first thing. Don't know why and I take my measurments monthly.

  • I weight myself every few weeks or so. Like between 4 and 8 times a year. I don't find myself obsessed at all with the number on the scale and find myself to look smaller than the scale says, which most who know me will agree with. I have no need nor desire to place too much power in whatever number the scale decides to show me.

    Every day. Keeps me on the straight and narrow.

    Daily... I like to know what triggers my weight and it keeps me focused.

    usually every day....


    weighing in isnt bad if it doesnt affect you psychologically.... its people who freak out and drop into severe deficits who really should throw the scale away....trust in the plan:)

    I weigh myself once a week ... after my morning workout. After I do it once I start to look everyday ... but i resist. It effects me psychologically when its good or bad.

    I don't see how people never use the scale, but overuse is a problem.

    Daily. It keeps me from going into denial.

    I gained 8 lbs recently when my scale was broken and I hadn't gotten around to buying a new one.
