I just can't help myself

I totally am guilty. I always say...I won't weigh until Tuesday, but then I find myself on that scale almost every day...at least every other day. Tuesday is my official weigh in though, and that's what I chart...But, I understand where you are coming from completly!

I do the same but the problem comes when the scales dont move for 10 days and then I became demotivated. Luckily the inches are coming off and my scales have a BF monitor which is still going down.

I am really tempted to put the scales in a cupboard and just bring them out once a week.

I'm in the same boat sorta. I have to fight with myself to not weigh in everyday. Like this morning the scale was staring at me telling me to weigh in but I fought it off!! heh.

Just don't be hard on yourself or have a 'bad' day just cos the scale either doesn't move or goes up. A lot of things affect your weight from day to day.

It is very hard to resist my scales every morning though. I have decided to put them away somewhere so it is easier to resist temptation.

I am the same. First thing in the morning before the shower (this is the one which I record), I then weigh myself when I get in from work in my full clothes and then just before I go to bed so that I can prepare myself if I am going to gain or lose in the morning (I generally are a lb lighter in the morning than my night weigh in.

My boyfriend gets cross and says that he wants to hide my scales, and I know that you should only weigh yourself once a week but doing it daily helps me stay strict. If Ive had a binge and can see the numbers on the scales showing a gain it often motivates me to be good the next day to get back to what I was.... I dont think I could last a week wondering if Ive gained or not.

I know that some people see it as obsessive and I know that the scales vary at different times of the day and depending on what I ate and at what time but I dont personally see anything wrong with weighing yourself daily.

It works for me and keeps me on track.... :0)

if the normal fluctuations of life don't mess with your head, then get on that thing three times a day if you like! Haha.

If you can see 3 lb "gain" and tell yourself, whoa I better keep an eye on the salt...and then move along through your day...you are authorized for high scale usage. But if seeing that throws you into a tailspin of self-doubt, and is a motivation-crusher, then the once-a-week plan is likely best.

I check at the beginning and end of every day, because I am able to see ups and downs for what they are...just a part of the fluctuation of life.

I've been guilty of this too and yeah, it can be a great motivator. Be careful though, because not every day is going to be something to necessarily be "happy" about. If you wake up with a 2 pound weight gain tomorrow, will you be ok with that? Weight fluctuates, and as long as you are aware of this and don't let it mess with your head, it should be ok...but if you think it may become something you will obsess over, stop now while you still can.

good luck!
