      I weigh Daily every morning. It's a Habit. Sometimes I asked my husband to hide the scale, but he never does a good job hiding it. (up in the top of his closet) UGH! But If I really didn't want to weigh daily I owul dhave him take the battery out and take it with him. but if he did that, I would probably nd up driving to publix to get on theirr scale.
      I am horrible.

        I had to stop myself from weighing in more than once a day. Right now I'm still weighing myself right after I get up in the morning. I need to cut it down to once every week... though the daily weightings certainly keeps me motivated

          I am gonna pick a day every week where i weigh myself because i know that weighing everyday doesnt work for me anymore. when i see the scales not moving down it just demotivates me. feels like why am i bothering to be good and stay on track if i dont see no results - WRONG ATTITUDE! needs to be changed

            It seems to me that you are well on the way to changing your attitude already
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

              Wow, haha. I had no idea many people weigh themselves everyday! Well, I use to in the beginning of my induction phase but I stopped and switched to every tuesday. Sometimes I do look every now and then when I feel like I lost something but rarely do. The reason is because I weight myself in the morning one day and the next day I gained 2 pounds. It got me discouraged so I made a habit to weigh once a week every tuesday. It helps me a lot but we are all different. Whatever makes you feel comfortable, and what you prefer is your own choice. No need to ask anyone when to weigh or anything as long as you're sticking to the plan.

                I used to weigh constantly. Now I am able to weigh myself weekly.

                  In the beginning, every two weeks on a Monday morning was my "weigh-in". Now, I barely ever weigh myself ... I just don't eat what is bad for me and I'm weighed when I see the doctor.

                  When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

                    THE SCALE! Scales, as we all know, are EVIL! I have, however, fallen deeply in love with my measuring tape ... so, whatever floats yer boat Right now, I'm weighing every two weeks, but once I hit maintenance, I'll force myself to weigh in weekly. I lose slowly even on a good week, and now that I'm climbing up the rungs, it's even slower, so why torment myself with a daily weigh in? But, different strokes for different folks.

                      Oooh the stupid scale! lol.. It IS evil!!
                      I used to weigh every day.. a few times a day. I was obsessive. LOL.
                      I knew it wasnt' healthy and it wasn't helping me cause I'd get down on myself when it wouldn't go down...
                      So I weigh rarely these days and try to just go by how I'm feeling and how my clothes fit etc..
                      So far nixing the scale has helped me stay positive and focus on what's important. And that's just being healthy.
                      Started Atkins on December 8th, 2005

                      Officially Re-Focusing on 12-28-09.

                          i guess im one of those people that do not weigh often. Once a week and thats it. I found not getting into that habbit of weighing everyday helped so i didnt have to try and stop.
