HOW OFTEN ARE YOU GETTING ON THAT "SCARY SCALE"

once a month...I measure, more then weigh, much better way of seeing improvements.

I get on every Sunday morning...lol

i weigh myself every morning every little ounce loss counts lol

every morning

Not very. I have honestly never been one of those people who gets obsessed about the number, but I do find that it often brings me down to see it. And, particularly when I've been making good choices and feeling really good about it, why am I gonna do that to myself? It tends to just shove me toward the who-cares-I'll-always-be-fat-so-might-as-well-eat-that-pint-of-Haagen-Dazs mentality more than it helps, so I do it rarely. I track more by how I feel and how my clothes fit.

There is also interesting studies out that show that people who get on the scale every day are more successful at weight loss than those that get on only once a week. I heard the author of a book called "Willpower" talk about over the weekend on NPR. Constant vigilance may be the answer as long as you can deal with the routine fluctuations without mental anguish.

I weigh in almost ever day if I remember to do so.

Once a week.

I do it every Friday morning. Gives me 5 days to repair the damage I typically do by cheating on the weekends. Also, sodium intake and other factors can cause daily water retention fluctuations that can be discouraging and don't show your true weight loss/gain trends. Good luck! Stick with it!

Pretty much every morning, at the same time. I just like to keep myself aware of what my goals are and how far/close I am to them. Keeps me mentally in check.

It varies. Usually every morning...but I've been trying to go a few days in between.

I weigh myself once a month or less - mainly to make sure I keep my caloric intake accurate, for my current weight. Any more often than that and it's counterproductive for me. I go by measurements, how strong I feel, and how my clothing fits.

Some find that weighing themselves daily or weekly, and seeing results from their hard work on the scale is what keeps them motivated. That is wonderful if it works for you. But for me? I don’t WANT the scale to be my motivator. It’s like trusting a friend to motivate you, then having that friend turn around and betray you the very next day, ad infinitum. The scale is just too unreliable for me to be a motivator or a gauge to my fitness/health success. I have committed myself to exercising and eating better. So why step on a scale to try to ‘measure’ that? My aim to become healthier will not be changing regardless of what the scale says, and by weighing myself only once a month or less, it allows me focus on how my body looks and feels…not becoming fixated on a number. It aids me in putting my healthy goals in clear focus and not become distracted or discouraged by a meaningless number. It will remind me WHY I’m doing this. Because exercise makes me feel good…I feel stronger, more energetic, and I know it is good for my insides and outsides. Am I eating healthy and working out to see results on the scale? NO! So why track my weight like my success depends on it.

“If you reached your goal weight and looked like crap, would you be happy? What if you only reached half of your goal weight and looked fantastic, would you be upset? What matters are the inches and how you look and feel. Not how much you ‘weigh’.”

Every morning after I shower. But I only 'officially' weigh and log once a week.

I do it twice a day. Maybe i have OCD i dont know. But i wake up at 246 and go to bed at 255. Is this normal? Seems like a huge variation.
