    ............ my scales are screaming my name and my weigh in isnt till sat morn :( ..... does anyone else find it difficult to stay away from the scales for a full week ??

    There is a special bond between me and my scale. It's almost like we've been challenging each other for a while. I want to beat it every single time. So while I take a good long week to prepare for my next duel, there it sits giving me cold steely stares every time I pass it across the hall. Till the next Saturday morning, you microchip brained, LCD eyed, flat bed silver sucker!

    How is that?! :devil:

    I felt like I was weighing way to much so as a lesson to myself, I have been waiting a MONTH to weigh or measure. This weekend is finally the time. It was really hard the first week but after that, I got used to the idea.

    I check mine daily but only weigh in and record once a week. I wish I had the will power to not check daily, but I appear to be using all that up on eating healthy and exercising daily lol! I do see ups and downs through the week, but I try to not let it bother me too much.

    I weigh a few times a week. I just make sure it's always on the same scale. The scale at my gym is the one I've been weighin in on for my journey so I try not to look at other scales because I know the number might not reflect my true progress. Any 2 scales might have up to a 5 lb difference (and the heavier you are the more inaccurate it can be and the greater the difference between the weight on any given scale). The only thing is I try not to get too discouraged because I know little things like "how much did I sweat today" and "when was the last time I used the restroom" can make a difference of a pound or so.

    I check once a day, first thing when I get out of bed. That is the only time i will get on a scale. It's a staedy average at the same time of day after your body has had time to adjust to any exercise and calorie intake.

    I find that even if I get a good weigh in it can cause me to go a little overboard because i think "hey I'm doing so well I can splurge a bit". If it's a bad weigh in I get sad like what's the point "I did my best, I did my best"
    From here on in I will weigh in about every 2 weeks or so.

    I find it very hard to stay away from the scale. I think everyone is different. When I weigh, it gives me motivation to try harder when I am higher and workout more. When I have lost, it gives me the will to keep moving b/c I know my hard work is paying off. I think some people need to weigh daily to know where they are and other shouldn't b/c it is discouraging. Being a very impatient person like me, you would think it to be discouraging, but I like keeping a close eye on it. Maybe it is my obsessiveness that outweighs my impatient ways. :bigsmile:

    I like data - lot's of data. So I weigh almost every day and record it. This allows me to compare calories, fluids, exercise, and types of foods, and their impact on my weight. If I'm up a day or two, it signals me to drink more water and to watch the calories (and their sources) a bit closer. And it doesn't really bother me if my weight is up a bit, as long as the trend remains downward.

    Where I get really focused is on hitting my numbers: potassium, sodium, fats, sugars, cholesterol, vitamins, etc. It is important to me that my diet be nutritionally balanced.

    I weigh myself every morning - then again to me the number on the scale means nothing. I am currently averaging only about a pound loss every 2 weeks and I am just fine with that...

    My weigh in is also Saturday morning, but if I feel like I'm doing well, I will jump on the scale mid-week just for a little bit of encouragement.


    Me too but sometimes backfires if your not doing as well as you thought :smile: lol

    I never used to ever weigh, but i have become so obsessed now!
    I weigh every morning and sometime multiple times in the day. My weight fluctuates so much throughout the day.

    My official weigh in is Friday's at work though, so that is when I record my weight.

    I check mine most days, but can happily ignore it if there is any gain, putting it down to water intake. If it has gone down, I record it and bounce around feeling even more motivated!
