    Yeah, I do - and I don't get too mad if I go up a pound - I know it's going to fluctuate as long as it goes down the next :)

    No, I don't weigh-in everyday. Weight loss, for me, doesn't work that quick! Lol! Plus, I, don't think it's necessary...too disheartening :sad: And I just love the anticipation of it all...I know when I've lost weight - I can feel it! If I feel really good and feel as if I've lost then I will weigh myself mid-week sometime, but apart from that Friday morning is my regular weigh-in.

    :glasses:

    I do it as well. It doesn't bother me to see nothing happen (or that I go a pound or two up.) I just figure it's like the stock market or climate change: it may dip and roll and rise and fall, but it's the long-term trends that count. I'm interested to learn how weight loss works, so I'd rather have too much data than not enough.

    Nope. Too obsessive for me.

    I don't because your weight fluctuates too much to get an accurate number everyday. Plus, I get discouraged easily lol!

    I weigh myself a couple times a week, but I know that weight fluctuates from day to day. So I only really pay attention to my Check In day which is Sundays. I know it's not good to weight yourself all the time, because it can be frustrating when you see the scale go up and down, so I am trying to work on not doing that. You are not alone in it, so maybe we can work together to not always focus on weight and try to remember to acknowledge out NSV from day to day.

    I weigh every morning that I'm home, which is normally Friday through Monday. If my weight is stable, I know I may be up or down within about a three pound range, so a little gain doesn't bother me day to day, but two or three little gains in a row flag me to refocus my efforts.

    I weigh myself close to the same time everyday. It keeps me on track (and honest).

    I do this, and I really need to stop. It's driving me nuts to see the scale show a gain even though the day before I busted my butt at the gym and was under my calories. I also weigh several times a day, which is even worse because how can I gain 3 lbs in 40 minutes? Just thinking about it is irritating me.

    That's it. Tomorrow after weigh-in, the scale goes away until the following Monday.

    I only weigh myself once a week - if that. Usually I don't have access to a scale, so I go several weeks without weighing myself.

    I weigh every day twice a day, 1st thing in the morn and after work :smile: I can't help it, I'm addicted to that too.

    I try not to, I feel more successful when I step on a week or two later and see a giant difference (i.e. 1-2 lbs lol)

    I do weigh in when I feel heavy though and that gives me an idea how much harder I need to work that day.
