    I weight myself every single morning and it is SO annoying that every Sunday (which is my weigh in day that I actually record for my ticker) I am the heaviest I have been all week!! I swear this happens every single week. It really helps me to weigh everyday so that I can see the general trend, because I would probably get discouraged if I only weighed once a week.

    On the other hand, my mom can NOT handle weighing herself every single day. It really, really, really messes with her head. So, if you find that you feel ok mentally weighing yourself every single day....why not? But personally, I would only record once per week.

    oh ya! i weight few lbs different from day to night! with the food intake during the whole day, water, etc.. depends if you've gone #2 too!! nothing to worry about.. just weight yourself consistantly, ie.. every friday morning.. then should be ok.

    This is why you shouldn't weigh yourself every day, your weigh fluctuates throughout the week.
    In my opinion that's exactly why you SHOULD weigh yourself everyday. Let's say you only weigh yourself once a week and on that day you happen to be up 2 lbs. You'd freak out because you gained 2 lbs in a week. You just need to realize it is going to fluctuate. Plus, if you don't weigh everyday you WILL miss the days when you happen to be down a pound or two. Those days can be encouraging.

    Maybe it's a glass half empty or half full type of thing.

    Ooooooh, I am right there with you. At my job I have to mico-manage a bit and it's spilling over into my daily life. It's so hard to just walk past that scale and not know if your doing good or not.

    I go weigh crazy also and I fluctuate from morning to night and its usually around 2 to 3 pounds! which I thought it was really crazy but I drink ALOT of water thoughout the day... so Im guessing its water weight!
