addicted to the scale

I do the exact same thing.

I was the same way. I was driving myself crazy!!! The weight changes had me distracted and stressing which can lead to weight gain. I picked fridays a my day to weigh in and have been doing great for the last few weeks. Stop stressing your weight and just let it happen. You may not loose pounds but you may loose inches and thats what really matters.

Don't get hung up on what the scale says. Water weight fluctuates. If you lose weight, it does not mean you lost fat/muscle, it may just be water weight dropping. Same goes for gaining. I've gained as much as 8 lbs in a day - it's just water retention, and it goes away the next day or so. So relax.

With that being said, weigh yourself once or twice a week, at the same time, and with the same level of hydration. Look for TRENDS over time.

I weigh myself every morning, too. I think it's a good way to stay on track. If the # is up 2lbs from the day before, I don't freak out and think I actually managed to gain that much in one day, but I do use it as motivation to make sure I make good choices, get enough water, etc.

there is nothing wrong in checking ur weight every day.....but as soon you wake from bed and weight it obvously shows u less weight cozz of low blood circulation...try checking your weight when u finish your nature calls....thats the exact weight u weight .so one time a day is enuf....

Actually you dont weight less because of low blood circulation lol....you weigh less because you havent eaten in hours and your body has processed your food and usually they recommend you void before you weigh too to excrete any excess fluids and wastes

Last time I started dieting I would weigh myself when I woke up, after each meal, and before I would go to bed. I know that is unhealthy but i can not resist the urge. Now this time around I have been able to only weigh myself every morning. I only o**** in on fridays here on my fitness pal. I really want to get over this and only weigh in one week. Seriously, every time I wake up in the morning I jump out of bed and basically run to my scale.

I do the same exact thing.. Everytime I get up .. It's awful

I love my scale, total worshipper here. I think it is all in how you look at it. I weigh myself every morning and everytime I am in the bathroom. I know my weight fluctuates a ton so it doesnt bother me. I want to loose weight, but if I go up a little, oh well, I am doing this to get healthy, and I understand it is not gonna be over night. I took me several years to gain the weight, so I am cool with it taking several years to come back off. Lately it has been really exciting because I have been loosing just like I want to.
