:heart: Question of the Day- Day 7 :heart:

When do you weigh yourself? Be honest!:blushing: Once a day? Once a week? Twice a day?



**Me- Almost everyday! I know I know.. I shouldn't but I can't help it! I feel like if I weight myself everyday it helps motivate me for the next day :) I imagine though it's pretty rewarding to see the scale when you only weigh yourself once a week. I do only log my weigh in once a week! Maybe I will hide my scale??...........maybe

    I am the same as you. I weigh myself every morning, but I only record it once a week. I am such a junkie, I don't think I could ever stop the everyday thing. lol

    I weigh myself every time I pass by a scale. Even if I'm in Brookstone. I'll even weigh myself using the meat scales in the produce section of Food Lion.

    I do it Mon Wed and Fri but if I have a significant gain like I did when I got back from my trip then I will weigh myself everyday until it gets to where it was before the gain which is just a few days anyways because most of it is water weight(I dont know why I do this guess Im a junkie too) so I would say Im right in there with just close enough to every day

    Monday morning, ONLY - I might jump on between mondays but high or low those don't count - Monday is my 'official' weigh in
    When I get to my goal size, I will most likely go to once a month weigh ins but I WILL be tracking my weight from now on - I can't trust myself if I don't

    Sadly, I weigh every day. It can be frustrating, but it's also a reality check when I've had bad day or days. While my mind knows the gain is likely water weight, the immediate "jolt" of seeing a higher number is a great motivator to get me back on track. I only log when I've shown a loss so it's easy to see how long a plateau has lasted or how long it took to drop a pound.

    I go through phases of weighing myself every day, but I really try to just weigh myself once a week. I can become to obsessed with the scale, so it's best for me to stay off of it!

    I usually weigh myself first thing every morning - before I have time to eat anything! :)

    I weigh myself sometimes several times a day, but always first thing in the morning. It's a challege to me to see what the scale registers each time I step on it. I only record my weight usually once a week. I guess it's personal preference...weighing several times a day keeps me motivated and reminded of my ultimate goal.:happy:

    I weigh myself every day at least once just because I like to see where I'm at lol, but I don't record it til Friday morning. Even though I may seem like a scale junkie, I don't let that number be the focus of my journey. I may not lose much on the scale, but I'm still losing inches and go by how I feel in my clothes and how I look. :)

    I weight myself in the morning... every morning .... I get up, pee, weigh .. in that order. It helps to keep me motivated and if I have a significant weight loss / gain I can see what I ate the day before. Like if we have Sushi for dinner, the next morning I see the damage from sodium and I KNOW it is a major water flushing day!

    Scale junkie - I weigh every day, usually several times a day., but the first time in the morning is the one that I use to log my weight even though I tend to drop weight after my morning workout.

    I weigh in every morning after going pee :) and I log it every day. Weighing in daily gives me a sense of accountability. I use the graph to keep me from being irrational....for example. I have lost 2.4 lbs since Monday....my first thought this morning was "urg, why arent I losing like I want"....then, after i logged todays weight, i checked my report. It was only then that I realized that i am acually ahead of my target weight loss of 2 lbs per week. I used to weigh myself 3 or 4 times a day, and that was just to much to be considered healthy :) (for me, we all have to do what works for us)

    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.

    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.
