    Pick a day and weigh yourself around the same time. I could weigh myself every day but I know that I will just drive myself crazy.

    Once a day at a maximum, right after rising (and going to bathroom). That is the least you will weigh all day, so you don't have to do it again. good luck.

    I think hiding them would be a good start.I find it easy to get discouraged if I weigh too often.

    Haha my situation is even worse! I used to weigh myself every day and no matter what the weight loss/gain was, I would feel depressed and defeated. I finally got to a point where I asked my husband to weigh me once a week, and so he is the only person who actually knows what I weigh! Its given me the freedom to work out and be proud of myself no matter what the scale says. and its working great! So far I know i'm seven pounds less! (I wonder what my actual weight is!) Also, it just takes a LOT of self control and faith!

    I have been known to put my scale in the trunk of my car because if its in the house I"m liable to weigh too often. However, I can usually manage only weighing once a day. I'm leaving town for 6 days and its kind of freaking me out that there will be no scale but hopefully I can manage. Good luck!

    i put my scales in the hallway cupboard to deter myself from weighing all the time. I used to weight everytime i walked into the bathroom which was super off putting and depressive because surprise surprise they moved constantly and i never really knew what my weight was. Since putting them out of sight i weigh myself once or twice a week and i can actually see a difference! Also when i get up in the morning to resist the temptation of weighing i eat or drink something because i know that will change my weight and by getting on the scales after that it wont be accurate so there is no point.

    get rid of the scale and judge your weight based on how your clothes fit. Hope this helps.
