I just wanted to know what everyone else thinks.. Is weighing in a good motivater or just a sign of no patience? I used to weigh every morning and saw great results but now not so often and feel like I'm not doing as well..

    I was weighing in once a month and it was a great motivator to see big losses...but I joined a group and we were supposed to weigh every week..suddenly...barely lost a thing. Still haven't hit that goal and it feels blah. So do whatever works for you. :) I'm now waiting two weeks for a weigh-in.

    I have an official weigh-in day of the week... usually sometime on the weekend. I try not to weigh in more than that but sometimes I can't help but step on the scale.

    It might sound bad but I weigh myself in the morning and at night before bed to get a better average of my real weight. My weight likes to fluctuate alot (I also use the Weight Watchers Scale that Calcs Body Fat and Water %)

    Personally it is a motivator as I'd hate to pick a day to weigh in where I'm holding more water then usual and freak out thinking I haven't lost anything all week and become LESS motivated when I might have actually lost weight or Centimeters. (I find it hard to get accurate measurements in CMs on my body as i might accidentally squish the measuring tape tighter then usual or put it in a slightly different spot which could make it a 1cm out or something XD) So I just the Weight and Body Fat % as a main indicator.
