    I don't. LOL Okay, I do sometimes, but I disregard the number because I know it's not real for 3/4 of the year.

    I do it because I find it amusing & good to remember that all sorts of things can affect the weight on the scale. Lots of sodium? Up 3 lbs. Drink some alcohol, down 2 lbs (dehydrates me).

    lol For real. Just keep in mind it'll come off just as easily as it showed up. ;)

    NO... because I know I'll just see the number go up... sometimes up to 10 lbs that week. I'll wait til the week after.

    You shouldn't before due to the swelling, or during because you know. After? Don't weigh yourself because you're fat after eating all the chocolate and ice cream.

    Why not? My weight gain happens 10 days before I start.

    You could have a two pound weight variance just because you haven't crapped yet that day. Weighing once a week or less is probably more effective.

    I personally don't like to only because of any little fluctuation in the numbers send me into a state of depression, even more so now because I have lost 104lbs, and to see the numbers scares me, even though it might just be water weight, or because I have not gone to the bathroom yet! So for me I WON'T DO IT!!!!

    I do but I know it's wrong. I'm usually up 7-10lbs but when it drops back down, I feel good! Ha

    This.

    After a couple of months of logging those gains, you'll know when you step on the scale they are not 'real' and they won't piss you off anymore. Also, that when I'm lightest :/ so I definitely weigh in.

    I'm not emotionally attached to the numbers, so yes. Plus I like graphs.

    I do because I'm scientifically interested to see what happens to my numbers (and my graph!) when I feel bloated. I won't log it though.

    I do, just to keep track, but since I know I'm almost always going to put on at least 1 lb, I'm mentally prepared for it and it doesn't freak me out.

    I won't because water weight gain is a real downer, but it can't really be avoided. XD I might for fun, but i'll remind myself it's because of being a woman, and won't record it.

    I weigh myself every day. I haven't actually found that TOM causes upward variation for me. Weird.
