How often do you weigh?

[loser4life]

I was just wondering how often everyone weighed?

Re: How often do you weigh?

Every morning, nekkie, I weigh, and then my 2.5yo weighs herself (she thinks it is fun).

Slightly sad that I am passing on this trend to my daughter.

I don't do this, but after she pees, she always wants to weigh herself (?).

She is excited though and claps when the number pops up.

LOL

Me, not so much clapping going on! LOL

Re: How often do you weigh?

Constantly, out of curiosity. Maybe 3 times per day.

Here's my theory: If I weigh the same at night as I did in the morning, it means the scale will be lower the next morning. So I can anticipate and be happy. And if I weigh a lot more at night than I did in the morning, why, that's perfectly normal given my food and water intake.

And I only count the lowest weight every week, so anything higher doesn't bother me one tiny bit.

Re: How often do you weigh?

I try to weigh only once a week, but sometimes (okay, most times) I get curious and get on maybe twice more in the week. So usually, it's at least twice a week. The day I'm most likely to sneak on the scale is the day BEFORE my actual weigh in. I'm like a kid that can't wait for Santy Clause. (lol) I snuck on this morning and at first I got mad because I thought it didn't go down (and I had been good all week and exercised regular), then I realized sheepishly that it had went down 4 pounds!! Sad, so sad. But, I'm happy. I don't want to be a slave to the scale!!!

P.S. When I had a foster-daughter, I had to HIDE the scale from her. She thought she was FAT. She was skinny as a rail and only 11 years old. I would only let her weigh herself once a week, when I weighed myself.

Re: How often do you weigh?

I am not as bad as I used to be... but... I do weigh myself as soon as i get up, naked, of course.. then at least once during the day and usually before I go to bed. It's a problem, but I figure it COULD be worse.

Re: How often do you weigh?

I tend to weigh every day cause I'm afraid of gaining weight and not realizing it for a week. If I go up any I'm especially careful in what I eat the next two days so it will go right back down. That way I'm able to stay on top of things.

Re: How often do you weigh?

although I voted one... I don't do SEVERAL... but at times I do weigh TWICE....

once in the morning.. (yeah.. nekkid.... )... then sometimes evening...with the shower.. (again... nekkid)..


a habit I started this summer
stupid I know... but after after a day of hard work and sweat ... and becoming somewhat dehydrated... (no matter HOW much I'd drink).... it was a little 'fun' to see the temporary weight loss in the evening..

after the shower I'd drink and drink ..

Re: How often do you weigh?

Once a day, ummm I'm lying...probally like three times a day... I know I'm very very sad!!
If the scale hasn't moved at the last weigh in it usally means weight loss in the morning..yipee! I guess there are much worse addictions out there....so yes, I'm a scale addict!!!

Re: How often do you weigh?

I said once a week because I do weigh at least once a week to be sure I'm heading in the right direction and to keep myself working away at this. I'm appearing in a play at my office at the end of October and have the most gorgeous dress to wear so am determined I'm gonna fit in the thing properly and not have it altered to fit all my lumps and bumps.

Re: How often do you weigh?

Wow- we are a bunch of scale junkies eh? I weigh in once a month now... however, before challenging myself to do this it was everyday!

Re: How often do you weigh?

Hi Everyone! I rerely weigh myself. The recient physical proves that my scale is not accurate so I find that I actually lost weight on the return visit. Want to get myself into the idea that I'm on a healthy track now. My blood pressure shows a difference an that's good news. P A T S Y

Re: How often do you weigh?

If I know I have been seriously working hard and strict strict strict about my food, then I KNOW I am alwsys burning fat ans should always be losing weight/inches, so I weigh everyday but only record it 1x/week. If I know I have been lazy about the gym or eating crap then I try not to weigh until I am clean again. A viscious cycle...oy vey

Re: How often do you weigh?

I have been a once a day weigher but effective yesterday, I've changed to once a week. This committment is for sure.

Re: How often do you weigh?

I weigh myself whenever I walk into the bathroom and that little monster starts calling my name. I have begged my husband to hide it from me until the Monday morning weigh-in, but no, he seems to think that I can control stepping onto the little demon. I think I will hide it from myself, afterall, I am getting the middle aged forgetfulness. Maybe, I will forget where I hid it from myself and have to wait a month to find it. It is a habit that I must break because when I don't lose I get more depressed and think what's the use which is self sabotage. I make a vow to myself and to anyone reading this that I will not step on the scale again until each Monday morning (unless I hide it from myself and forget where I put it).

Re: How often do you weigh?

Well, before Basic Training it used to be once a week.
After returning from that, it's been less frequently, and then, since I moved the scale downstairs near my son's room, I'm not about to run down there in my undies, so I rarely step on it anymore.
