    How often do you weigh yourself?

    For me, it helps keep me on track. I've been afraid to look at the scale because of my eating to much cheese ( SQUEE! ) in the past few days...weighed myself this morning and I gained 2 pounds . It may also be water retention, so I'm ditching the salty pork rinds...and strictly limiting my cheese intake.

    How often do you all weigh yourself...every day, or every week?

    I weigh daily and like having the knowledge that my weight can vary for no apparent reason or maybe I should watch the carb creep....intersting fact that when I was off plan I would not weigh so i didn't have to face up to that damage that I was doing...daily weighing keeps me on the straight n narrow

      Exactly. I weigh myself every morning before getting dressed. It seems to make me more accountable for my actions during the day knowing that I want that scale to be lower the next morning. So far so good. I don't think I will get discouraged if it goes up a little cause I know our bodies fluctuate and that there will be times when it will go up. Like today I am soooo bloated, I had a hysterectomy a few years ago but still get TOM symptoms like everyone else does. Bloating, Irritable, weight gain, and also hot flashes.

          Pork rinds are limited to 1 cup, but watch out because they are very high in sodium. I can't eat them, they cause me to stall and I always want to eat the whole bag!
          Oh, and I weigh once a week. I used to weigh everyday but it was driving me crazy, I get too obsessed with it.
          What would we do without it?

              I weigh every day, first thing in the morning (nude and after that morning pee-LOL). I have to admit, I some times weigh up to 3-4 times a day. I'm obessed with the scale! I don't freak out seeing it fluctuate, I just have to know.

                    I weigh myself once a week. Every Sunday morning. I like to see the scale actually move. That is what keeps me motivated.

                    Everyone is different! Whatever works.

                        Some of my weight gain must have been from the all that sodium...today I am 168.2, down from 169 yesterday. I cut my down cheese intake quite a bit too.


                        One more thing, it's that ever-fun TOM so maybe there's water retention.
