How do you not weigh in everyday?

First I think you need to stop weighing in so much. Your body is going to fluctuate (spelling?) everyday depending on what you have consumed and whether or not you have to go to the bathroom..whatever the case may be. But living around the scale is not going to help you much.. it might just make things worse.. as in not eating enough or overly exercising... you can become obsessed. Just pick one day out of the week to weigh in and stick to that. Watch your salt intake and make sure you are weighing yourself in the morning after you go to the bathroom.. before a shower and completely naked!

This was posted earlier today about the scale. Good read.

You need to tell someone you trust to take the scale away and let you use it only once a week. Pick the same time every week. Have the scale taken back as soon as you are done checking once! Weighing yourself more than once a week will make you feel bad about yourself if you are not seeing changes. I know, I was there. The first two weeks with out the scale everyday made me crazy. BUT I saw the difference at the end of the week. I lost more weight because I wasn't changing my eating to what the scale said daily. I was doing what I should everyday and it worked! It is so freeing when you don't weigh every day (or several times everyday, as I was). You also need to make sure you are eating enough, at least the minimum cals everyday and you are supposed to eat your exercise cals too! When you don't eat enough you will not lose! Check into it on the message boards. Weigh in once a week, drink lots of water, and good luck!

I think some people can handle the everyday weigh in as a check in and some people cannot. This is not to say that one group is better than the other or whatnot but just like there is not one diet that works for everyone, there is not one way of weighing in that works for everyone, IMO.
There are times that I weigh in everyday and sometimes i just put it away for just once a week weigh ins.

If you think that the daily up and downs (and there are definitely reasons for them) are too much for you, then I'm definitely in the camp of suggesting you weigh in once a week. To expect a loss on the scale every single day, you would be setting yourself up for disappointment.

I have a scale in my bathroom, I'll get on it every other day or so. But I only do my "official" weigh-ins on my Wii Fit because I know it's more accurate. I do that every 4-7 days and I also weigh my kids. I used to weigh every day but I found that the normal weight fluctuations started to drive me crazy. If the number went up I'd be in a bad mood all day. I'd be impatient with my husband and kids, grumpy and unhappy with everything. It was getting to the point where I wanted to eat less food or work out more. I finally realized it just wasn't working for me. Now I get a more accurate picture of what's going on with my weight and if the numbers go up by tenths of a pound I'm able to stay calm because I know it's probably just a difference in the clothes I'm wearing or because I'm retaining a little water.

Weighing every day won't help you track your weight any better than doing it less frequently. It won't help you immediately see the effects of skipping a day at the gym or eating a few hundred extra calories. A one or two day break in your routine won't hurt your long term goals and if the scale goes up the day after a break, it's just coincidence.

Make sure you're drinking enough water, limiting your sodium, eating healthy and getting some exercise. And definitely make sure you're eating enough calories. Eating too few will put your body into starvation mode and you won't lose at all, you can even gain as your body stores what you eat as fat.

I don't own one! I'm an apartment dweller, and all our floors are carpet; because scales are supposed to be on a hard surface, I don't have one since its likely I wouldn't get an accurate reading, and it would just be in the way anyway. So when I'm curious, I go to Wal-Mart. They usually have 2 you can test out, so I check my weight on both. If both say I've lost weight, I record the higher of the two. If both say I've gained weight, I record the lowest. If one says I've gained and the other that I've lost, I just don't record either.
