how often do you weigh yourself?

I hate to say this but I am obsessed with the scale...they say once a week but I can't do that I step on it twice a day sometimes...not healthy not good for the mind...I say what ever you think you can handle but if you are not losing when you step on the scale you can really discourage youself I know this...do what feels right for you. I'm try to only step on it every second day now and only in the morning very hard to disipline myself for that..

I get on the scale every morning buck naked after I pee and before I work out. For me it's a motivational tool--I try to eat right during the day because I want to see good numbers. Also, I'm excited to get out of bed in order to see what my effort have done for me. If you weigh yourself daily you have to realize that there will be fluctuations--both up and down--that will could be more drastic than you think. Take them lightly, but hope for a downward "trend" week to week. Also, beware of your monthly visitor. For me and probably most other women out there we gain up to 2-3 pounds just before for no apparent reason! But it comes off just as easy.

Do what works for you!

So the best time to wiegh yourself is the morning? I've been wieghing myself at night :embarassed:
I guess I should move the scale to somewhere where I'll be able to se it in the morning better.

PS: I do it about 3 times a week

well Banks has this challange for some of us where we give up using our scale for a month....I am having a hard time and its day three....lol

I'm being good but when I was addicted...I'd wiegh in every morning at the same time....I'd say once a week is healthy but once a day can be too if you don't let it get to you the fluctuation....which I did sigh

hugs and good luck!

I had to give my scale to my mother-in-law because it was VERY counter-productive. I'd weigh myself every day twice a day and if I was up a pound or a half a pound or...whatever, I'd give up and pig out because I would think, 'This isn't working. I should just give up.' So I gave it to my mother-in-law and I weigh myself every two weeks or so (when we go to see them) and if I really feel like I need to check up on myself, I measure. That helps me, because I usually see results.

Once a week. If it does not say what I think it should I do not let it get to me cause I feel great. My clothes r gettin loser and I have more energy than I have in 30 years.

Every day. First thing in the morning after going pee. I don't obsess over it at all, I like to weigh myself everyday so I can hold myself accountable for the previous day, if i went over my calories, it shows on the scale. But my weight doesn't fluctuate if i stay with in my calories and drink my water.

Once a week on Friday. I use the scale at work. (they put a doctor's style scale in the girls room for some reason?!?)

i do once a week on a monday now that one counts then i do it every so often during the week just to keep a track on it only if i think about it. then i have a monthly weigh in at the gym and i do a measure as well to get the full picture
my scales say one thing and the gyms is alittle bit more so i dont think one says im heavier than the other i just go right gym one i have lost ..... amount and same with home so they have their own start point.
