    It depends on the individual and how it affects you mentally. I weigh myself several times a day because I love to see how different aspects of my day (food, activity...) affect me. I find it fascinating for some reason. However, my fitness goals are not based on a goal weight. I want to be strong, healthy and attractive, whatever that weight may be.

    Several times per day??? Do you take them to bed with you.
    However I admire your goal Strong, healthy and attractive no matter what you weigh.

    I don't think I could handle daily. I would never see them change.
    Weekly does sound good because 5 weeks can seem like forever to wait.
    I'm slightly tempted to change to weekly checks but for now my
    mind hasn't been changed.
    Thanks for the imput folks.:flowerforyou:

    I love to weigh myself.

    Call me crazy, but I wake up excited to hop on the scale every day to see where I am. I don't beat myself up if I am up a few pounds - I knew I would be based on whatever I did (or didn't do) the days before. Similarly, when I work out hard for a few days and am on point with my diet there is nothing more satisfying than seeing those little decimal point drops on the scale.

    I guess for me the scale is not something to fear or loath - it is simply another type of mirror. It reflects back my efforts and diet and helps me to get a grasp on where I've come and where I want to go.

    Almost daily. I might not if I feel disgusting or like I really overdid it the night before but other than that, yeah.

    Daily... I was on a Heart program (Cardiocom) and that's how it had to be. Doctors took me off program as heart condition was stable. However, I am supposed to still weigh daily as the nurse still contacts me once a month. Mainly, I need to maintain between 120 and 125 and have to watch closely for water weight gain as it could be a indication that my lungs are filling with fluid. Doing this and keeping a journal help me greatly.

    I don't really weigh in anymore, because I'm already at goal, but when I did weigh in it was once a week.

    Without owning a scale, no way could of of got where I am today, I'm unfortunately a daily weigher, it gives me information if I should eat more or less the following day, it's stressful sometimes, but usually can keep it on the same number if I weigh myself at the same time everyday, I'm a night weigher, and I'm usually about 1kg heavier as expected, but always just record my weigh before bed, then minus 1kg off to determine my true weight.
