Daily-first thing in the a.m. Like everyone else, I pee, then step straight on the scale--in my pjs though.
The only exception to this is when I'm traveling out of town, I don't weight at all. ALWAYS, I feel like I'm destroying my progress b/c I'm eating out, eating crap & not exercising. ALWAYS, when I come back I find I've either lost a pound or two, or at least maintained. Weird.
I guess the seperation from the scale makes me hyper-sensitive & I eat less calories out of just plain worry & fear, not counting or smart choices.
Every morning, first thing, after the bathroom, before eating or drinking. I always write it down on graph paper so I can see a trend. Sometimes at night, too, just out of curiosity, but I don't take it seriously.
I prefer a daily up and down, and I don't let myself take slight gains too seriously, but they do get me geared up to work harder that day. Waiting a week is too long for me, like dieting without a net.
I try and resist doing it every day - because as a previous poster said, it can ruin your whole day! However, if I have been very good - food wise and exercise wise - I am usually pretty confident BUT if I have been very naughty, mainly food wise - forget it - I dont wanta know. Cheers, Kerrie
While i was at home (back at school now, boo) i'd weigh myself every morning and sometimes in the evening just to keep in check and make sure that i hadn't gone vastly up overnight or anything. I was slightly addicted to it at first but i guess coming back to school will be going cold turkey! My official weigh day is Saterday.
My WW meeting is on Thursdays, so Thursday morning is my *official* weigh-in...at first I only weighed myself once a week because we had a scale at work for our work WW group, and I never had time to do it more than once a week. But then our scale disappeared, so I had to buy myself one for home. I got a nice Tanita scale that also measures body fat % (which is something I am also trying to decrease). So now I usually weigh myself every other day, because I like to learn the patterns of my body. Usually first thing in the morning, but I've found that my weight is usually consistent up until about 10am. After 10am I've had breakfast and a snack, and a LOT of water (I aim for 3 litres a day), so my weight is more.
It's hard not to weigh every day, but I use weighing as a bit of a reward...as in "work hard on WW today, because tomorrow you can weigh yourself and you might see some good results!"
I weigh on Saturdays. In the morning after I pee and completely naked.
One of the guys I work with he is a big workout buff. He said you should not do that but they weigh once a week on the Biggest Loser.
So that is what I do. But my biggest problem is that I have been to the doctor a lot lately for insomnia and they weigh me everytime I go in. And it is never the same and it is never what my scale says. Very frustrating. Sometimes I think they do it on purpose.
I am addicted to weighing myself. I have to move my scale so it's not staring me down everytime I go into the bathroom! But my offical weighin day is Sundays.
