I do, I have to weigh myself daily. I know I'm not supposed to, but what can you do. I try not to let it affect my outlook, and am successful for the most part.0

I do! And I'm trying to stop! It has fluctuated so much for me I'm wondering if my scale even works.0
-
I know that after I start eating and drinking for the day, the scale isn't going to show a lower weight than it did first thing in the morning, so it's not very tempting.0
-
Nope then again my goals are to lose weight but scale wieight is not the scale as fat loss which is really top priority.0

There's nothing wrong with weighing daily, though I don't much see the point in weighing more than once a day unless you're interested in seeing how different foods and activities affect your weight. Any weight difference within one day will be food & water related, not fat.0

I do it too. Usually a few times a day. I log new lows only and then use the scale to more or less motivate me to make better choices about food that I might be about to eat.0

So then you only really log morning weigh ins then?

Weighing daily has been kind of a habit, every day in the morning before getting ready for work0

It might get better eventually after you bought the second set of new batteries0

I do, which is why I took the batteries out of my scale. I only weigh once a month now. If I don't see big losses, I get discouraged.0

No I don't log every day. I log when my weigh in is at a new low. About once a week. For consistency sake that number has to happen in the afternoon about when I get home from work since that is where I started tracking.

Cover it up with a towel, then you don't have to look at it.

Numbers wont change...weight loss takes time.
Just weigh yourself daily at the same time...preferably the morning when you wake up.0 -
I weigh every morning. I wouldn't dare step on it any other time of day.0
-
I weigh myself every morning now. I track it in an Excel file and chart a weekly average. My weight fluctuate as much as 5 lbs in either direction but the weekly average is a steady downward trend.0

I don't have a scale at home any more for this reason. I weigh in at the gym on the weekends in the morning.0
