How often do YOU weigh in?

Re: How often do YOU weigh in?

I'm shocked! I thought I was going to get nothing but grief for being a recovering scale-aholic - I would never guessed that the majority of you are scale-aholics too! Perhaps I should have titled this thread "Ode to a Scale"
36 hours til I can weigh in again (will have been 1 week... I'm starting to twitch from scale withdrawl) - wish me luck! Come on big number loss!!

Re: How often do YOU weigh in?

I just had my husband hide the scale because I was weighing myself more than once a week and taking it to heart. I know that I am doing the right things so I need to stay focused on that and not the scale.

My DH would never hide the scale, he weighs a lot more than I do. I do once a day, he does multiple times a day. But only counts his morning weight on weigh in day.

I tried once a week and found it caused way too much stress. Also if I wasn't down or even worse, up it was devasting thinking I did great all week and then nothing.

If I do each day I'm not shocked if it's a slow week. Eases the blow LOL

Re: How often do YOU weigh in?

I did it! I made it a full week!
And, fellow scale-aholics, it was SO worth it!
When I stepped on the scale this morning, and I saw that I had lost NINE - count 'em, 9! - lbs, I almost fainted from joy. It was so magnificent, I have been on a happiness high all day
Of course 9lbs is crazy high and I don't expect it to happen again, but seeing a real change from one week to the next was SO awesome.
So, I totally recommend challenging yourself to go just ONE week without stepping on the scale every day, it might pay off in a massive dose of joy!!

Re: How often do YOU weigh in?

This was great to read. I am weighing every 3 days or so while doing OWL because I want to be sure the addition of various foods doesn't adversely affect me. But I am only taking my official weights on the dates listed below, which are more like every month or so. I too, found myself completely addicted to the scale, and would get really down on myself if there was the slightest increase. I am measuring too, which has helped my mental outlook when the scale didn't go down much this week, but I had lost about 4 inches overall.
