    I sneak a peek every morning but do my measurements and offical weigh in on Monday mornings. Don't leave out the measurements! When the scale lets you down the measurements often bring you up!

    If I'm fasting, I weigh myself a million times a day, like 3-15 times. If I'm dieting 3-5 times. If I'm eating normal, or if I'm eating bad food, then 1-3 times. I ALWAYS weigh myself when I wake up, after I do my business, and before I eat. I read in some diet book that that's the best time.

    About 5 or 6 times a day :-S Oops!

    LOL, me too! I only worry about the one first thing in the morning, but I step on often during the day.

    Sounds like the majority of us are scale junkies! After readying everyone's response I think I am starting to be ok with it! Your right it does hold you accountable and keep you motivated for that days eating habits. Maybe I won't hide the scale after all! I do only weigh myself in the morning after I use the bathroom. I DO NOT like to see the number at night lol

    I used to weigh myself every day but it was making me crazy.

    Now I weigh myself probably twice a week. But I try to keep to a once a week schedule.

    I have a lot of free time right now so i'm weighing myself more than 3x a day. I am becoming obsessed with the number so I really need to stop myself from doing this! I'm going to try and cut it down to just in the morning and maybe in the evenings. I only record it once a week though.

    I am getting the feeling, from reading the posts on this thread, that a lot of us are turning our obsession with food into an obsession with the scale.

    Good or bad???

    EXCELLENT point! The scale is only ONE tool in determining how far you've come in your journey, your measurements, how your clothes fit and your body fat % are also great indicators!

    recently it's been every day, first thing upon waking up after i have my pee. I have found you learn alot about how your body works and reacts with foods and weightloss. seeing the fluctuations at first can be discouraging especially during stalls but it helps you to understand how your body works.

    With "addictions" you usually have to substitute something to replace the bad habit. I do weigh daily (sometimes 2-3 times), Once in the morning, i like seeing my weight after I go to the gym too. and sometimes at night before I go to bed because it helps me predict what tomorrow will be.

    But i feel like it keeps me motivated and for now it's a healthy addiction compared to eating high sodium and junk food . I figure it'll decrease after i get to my goal weight.

    I like to weigh in after I sleep so first thing in the morning and if I take a nap. It kinda sets the tone for me - reminds me why I need to make good choices.
