My current strategy. Do not weigh for a while. Does anyone else do this?

    I don't own a scale. Therefore I can only weigh myself when I am in gym and under the eyes of other people. Since I don't want to look obsessed, I only weigh on sundays.

    I did this for a while; instead of weighing myself every 7-14 days, I decided to not do so for a month. I ended up not doing it for three, eating more than I knew I should be, and basically falling off the wagon. Gained 2 kg. So, no, I'm not quite there yet, as I learned the hard way. But I hope I will be soon.

    I weigh myself every three weeks or so. I can tell by my clothes whether I am losing fat. I couldn't possibly weigh myself every day, as my weight varies from one day to the next quite a lot. It would not be useful for me. I have lost 28lb so far.

    Add another wrinkle to this. I know that my doctor's scale weighs myself and my wife lighter than our home scale. Also, if you are in the market for a new scale, read some reviews and see how many are consistently accurate. Good luck. If I stay consistent on logging calories, then I feel that I can go longer without weighing. The main thing though is to use whichever method works for you!

    I only weigh myself the 10 days following my period, pretty much.

    I havent weighed for 2 weeks, but normally daily beccause I prefer the information. Do it whichever way suits you.

    Yep, I weigh in once every three weeks. : ) I find it's too easy to be discouraged over scale fluctuations otherwise. Plus, it's more exciting to see the scale drop a more significant amount...it sort of turns it into a mini-goal to work towards ("weigh-in day is coming up!") and that makes it easier for me to make healthy choices.

    I have done this- I went an entire month without weighing so that I could focus more on my form, how I felt, etc. At the end of the month I had actually gained (mind you, I went to the fair a couple days prior so it could've been water retention to an extent) but lost inches. I now just weigh once weekly, I find it's easier for me than going crazy for a month at a time lol
