    I weigh myself each morning. Maybe I shouldn't?

    I weigh myself once a week. I guess growing up as a overweight kid the scale was always scary... it still is... my heart races everytime i weigh in weekly!!

    I do feel that you should only weigh-in once a week to track your progress, which you mentioned that you do. However, as long as you understand that your weight will fluctuate depending on water/glycogen, do what works for you. I personally would hate to have yo-yo feelings on a day to day basis because of a number that is far less significant than body compostition!!!

    Hi there - you're doing great!

    Admittedly, I was a daily weigher - only thing was it started to dictate the kind of day i was going to have. So i needed to make a change.

    I decided that I should weigh myself once a week - and do it on Fridays. That way there is no weekend let down on Monday.

    Ever since this change I feel great about my plan, my body and how I am progressing.

    Good luck and again you're doing great!

    Hi there! I am a daily weigher and I like how you said "it throws you off your routine" I am exactly the same way. I love when it shows a loss but when I show a gain it actually sets off the competativeness in me and makes me work harder, so I don't see it as a "bad habit" just a habit that shapes my attitude for the day.

    I don't think I could stop weiging everyday, it is part of the start of my day. When the scale is up I usually know why and it is a forced real piece of data that helps motivate me, good or bad. I worry more about when I am down a pound getting lazy and feeling like I can let up for the day because I am doing so good.

    You are showing a good loss, keep up with what your doing.

    Seems there are a lot more that weigh every day than I thought. Good to know it isn't just me! :)
