Does Anyone Else Weigh themselves Every Morning??

yep, i do and like many people posted it keeps me on track. i don't get upset or too happy what the scale says. if i am up i try to remember what i had eaten the day before and if i swayed off on my meal planning. i officially log in once a week, usually on wednesdays. if you tend to get to hard on yourself over the number i would not weigh in everyday.

I weigh once every two weeks. I like the suspense! (And hate any disappointments). My weight fluctuates too much from day to day, so it works better for me to weigh less often.

The important thing is to be consistent. I only weigh myself in the mornings, straight out of the shower, after drying my hair, and before breakfast. That's the best way to make sure I'm only weighing me, and not clothes and breakfast.

I used to but I don't anymore. When I was weighing myself everyday I was also (unknowingly) in starvation mode so I wasn't losing weight. If my Wii Fit showed that I had gained weight, even .2 pounds, it would put me in a really bad mood and would ruin my whole day. Now that I'm eating enough food and going to the gym 5 days a week I'm tempted to weigh every day, but I don't want to obsess. I weigh myself, and my kids, every 3-4 days or so, sometimes just once a week.

I have the scale practically tied to my feet everyday! These days it is my closest friends and we have a mutual love/hate relationship. Me and my scale are going places! lol

I wouldn't worry to much as long as it isn't becoming a severe obsession. For me it is a reminder everyday to keep on going. If it is bad then it is a challenge to keep me motivated and when it is good then it is a reward for my constant motivation.

I think it depends on the kind of person you are. As long as a gain or no loss does not discourage you (there are many valid reasons to go up or stay the same from day to day without having made mistakes) then I think it is a great way to stay motivated and on track. I weigh myself every day and interpret gains or no loss days as evidence that I am losing slowly but surely which is the healthiest way to lose weight and keep it off.

I am going to continue to do it this way when I hit my maintenance stage as I don't believe there is a better way to be sure that you are maintaining the same habits and the same weight (that you worked so hard to reach in the first place!!!). I'm also going to continue to use my online food journal.

I say as long as you have the right attitude about it (and don't get obsessed or discouraged by the numbers) then go for it!!!

I weigh myself every morning...if you do I suggest keep repeating or posting a post it note on the wall in front of the scale that says "weight loss is not linear" Helps keep things in perspective :happy:
