I am required to weigh in twice weekly at my program center. I do not weigh myself any other time, I actually threw away my scales. I feel I am required to be good all the time if I don't know what my weight is doing. I only change my ticker on my Saturday weigh in though. The Wednesday weigh in is just a little perk if I am doing good and a kick in the pants if I am straying. Everyone has their own technique, so try it several ways and pick the one that works best for you! Good luck and huggers!!!
