I don't have scales at home ..... so I only weigh at the gym ..... about once or twice a week ... when noone else is anywhere near the scale!!!!

I admit it, everyday. However, I don't let it dictate my day.
For example, I'm up .5 this morning, however I am expecting tom any day now and I had some pretzel sticks last night.
If it went up 3lbs overnight, I'd probably react differently :)

Hello everyone!

I weigh twice a week on Monday's and Thursday's.

I weigh at morning and night, unless I've slipped the day before. Then I'll stop for a couple days so if I did gain I won't let it get me down or give me a reason to keep cheating.

If it's left out in the floor, I'll step on it every time I walk into the bathroom. I think it's a Pavlovian thing. See scale...must weigh. Likewise, if I put it away, I'll forget to weigh for several days in a row.

I weigh in once a day ( used to be atleast 5x's a day) but I am going to stop and only weigh myself on Sundays so that I can be really surprised with what the scale says (hopefully good news)


Side note: I used to get mad when a day would go by and I didnt lose any weight lol

I weigh in once a week on Monday mornings.

I used to do it everyday when I lost weight 3 years ago but it was taking up too much of my life. I felt chained to it. This go round I am looking for a life long thing where I dont feel the need to seek validation through the scale. Instead be more in tune with how I'm feeling and how my clothes are fitting.

My scale and I have a love/hate relationship. My last weight loss efforts had me on the scale all the time. Morning, night, and anytime in between.

This time around I'm TRYING for once a week. I know my weight can fluctuate on a daily basis but the up fluctuations are too discouraging to me...I like to see a weekly (hopefully bigger) weigh in loss.

I weight once a day, after I exercise whenever that is. I use the wii fit board as my scale and so far so good. I haven't weighted myself in years before I started a little after new years. So this is kind of a new thing.

I weight about twice a week, Wednesday and Sunday morning. Sunday is the day I use for progress purposes. I was a daily weigher when I first started my journey but realized it drove me crazy, especially when I gained.

Chrissyh06 01-30-2011 07:36 PM

Once a day about midmorning. I use the wii fit to weigh in with. I am doing a 7 week challenge with my Church group and we are ultra competitive.

At first, I was terrified to get on the scale, knowing that I had cheated my diet...I didn't want to see the scale where it was.

Lately, I've started weighing in every day. It's becoming a compulsion.

I try to stick to my weekly weigh in with my coach, but sometime I will sneak one or two additional weigh ins a week, first thing in the morning after I piddle!

Hi I am new to blogging but I check my scale twice a day. As I wake up in the morning after my shower and then just before I go to bed. Is this silly or wrong?

suenos096 02-05-2011 04:56 PM

I love my scale so much. We have a love love relationship now. I used to hate it until I realized how much it motivates me. When I saw a gain before on the scale I'd be a little upset and I would almost want to quit but I didn't and when I got on again a couple of days later I found that I'd lost. It's taught me how to stay in tune with my body and how's it's reacting to certain things like TOM or too much salt or I need to eat more cleanly.

I recently realized that I needed to eat less red meat and more chicken and seafood. I had been seeing about a 1 pound a week loss on the scale and when I cut the beef and it was just after TOM there was a pound a day for the past 4 days or so. Now I kinda see how my body was working. Now I love becoming more in tune with my body.
