Do You Weigh Yourself?

I threw my scales away yesterday because I've become so obsessed with wanting to lose weight that I was stupidly weighing myself twice a day and I know that's not a healthy way to be. I was becoming frustrated with the way my clothes are clearly telling me that my weight is going down or at the least my body shape is changing, yet the scales 'told' me that my weight wasn't moving or was up by a couple of lbs.

I'll weigh myself once a week as/when I am at my parents in future.

I've sworn off the scale for the exact reasons you mentioned, OP. Weighing sets off a cascade of crazy number games in my head. When I weigh, I either feel disappointed and angry at myself that I didn't hit the number goal I set for myself (even though I trained hard and ate well) OR I lose more than I expected and "treat" myself. Weighing = Crazy for me. I'm trying so hard to focus on the process and how my clothes are fitting. Now a good day is any day that I eat right (not too hungry or over full) and get a good workout done. I know I'm losing, but don't know how much. I won't lie. It's not easy to stay away from the scale after all those years of obsessing over it, but it's for the best.

I still do, I am working on stopping this cause I really dont care about the number. I need the inches. I like my curves I just want them to be a little tighter for curves LOL.

You have to do what keeps you on track. I weigh myself once a week when it keeps me on track. AS soon as weighing discourages me... i stop. But what I find is a sure easy best thing to do..is the tight jeans test. Trying on that right pair of jeans or dress... When it starts fitting better. You can't deny that! I will say...when I've weighed myself before when I got down to my goal weight..there were weeks when the scale didn't move but I was shrinking.

I weigh myself in the morning and at night before bed. It keeps me on track and when I lose, it is motivating. When I don't or gain, no big deal, it's temporary.

I weigh daily, but because I find it interesting. I am my own science experiment.

Sure do; nearly every day because I like data. It's helped me to learn that fluctuations are normal. As a result I'm not completely obsessed with ths number on the scale and when there is a jump I can understand what caused it rather than automatically assuming I've gained fat.

This. I decided to weigh myself every day and log it every day. I started to see trends. Now when I go up a few pounds, I know that I am usually going to go down by a bunch soon. I just keep doing it despite the number. I have been working on not having the number affect me. It isn't perfect, but it is much worse when I don't weigh at all!

I weigh myself for arbitrary reasons. Mainly I do it so I see where I fit on the exrx strength standards scale. I'm tracking my lifting stats and strength versus body weight.

I find that I stick to things more when I weigh myself a lot. I'm totally aware of fluctuations and know my ranges so I don't get freaked out if I step on the scale and am a few pounds heavier or a few pounds lighter. I do not log my weight every day though. I only log it once a week or once every other week depending on if there is any difference.

I started only weighing myself every other week but found that I didn't stay consistent when doing it. I would eat like total crap for one week then eat healthy the next week to get back on track. So then I would weigh myself once a week and the same pattern emerged. I would eat like total crap for a few days and then get back on track before the weigh in. I am a natural procrastinator so it only makes sense that I would be with this too.

Now that I am weighing myself every day, I just find myself making better choices every day. I still do eat some "junk" here and there but because I hold myself accountable every day now, I feel like I am more successful and haven't even really wanted one of those days where I eat nothing but junk food.

I went out and bought a brand new scale when I started eating right and exercising and decided I would only weigh myself in the mornings right after I've gotten up and taken my morning bathroom break or right after I've gotten up in the morning, went to the bathroom and showered. I don't tend to do it every morning but once or twice a week perhaps.

I have SO been there!! Have you seen a personal trainer? Many gyms offer training and I would suggest you include that in your regime. Trainers can create a weight-loss plan that is right for you and can also measure you!! It's VERY VERY IMPORTANT to get measured during a weight-loss journey, because you see much more results this way than on the scale...maybe you weigh yourself at the beginning of the week and weigh 'x' amount and by the end of the week, you weigh a little more than you did at the beginning...this could be due to lean muscle mass you're gaining which is good!!! because it burns body fat. I would definitely suggest this. Eat clean, train dirty!!

It's very easy for me to become obsessed with weighing myself, so I know have multiple notes around my room saying "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WEIGH YOURSELF UNTIL ____ OR YOU CANT HAVE A BIKINI". I know I look good in them, but i'm using the threat of not buying them if I weigh myself obsessively.

I think different people need different kinds of feedback. I weigh every day, and it doesn't bother me if I gain a lb or 2, but I can definitely understand if this drives some people crazy. Everybody is different.

This-I weigh daily, even though I'm in maintenance now. It keeps me accountable. But, different things work for different people

i was weighing myself to much! it was making me crazy so i stopped doing it for a while! well see if it helps!

once a week. no more, sometimes less
