I was weighing every day but then if it was barely up like not even a pound I'd get all worried. So I weigh once a week, on Friday (no particular reason) and it makes me work harder so I have a loss on that day

Silly mind games

I weigh myself every time I am in the bathroom. I know it's crazy but I can't walk past the scale without doing it real quick. Like it might get away from me in an hour.......... Crazy huh?

Cool Re: How often do you guys weigh yourselves

I used to weigh myself everyday but then I would see that I would go up and down all week and it would make me worry so I just stopped and now I only weigh in once a week .

Thumbs up Re: How often do you guys weigh yourselves

I have tried so many diets in the past, and the scale turned into my enemy - a pound here and there, maybe even 5, and then gain back 3 - not enough incentive to really stay with it - let's face it - it is HARD, and almost seems impossible at times.

i weigh myself - only when i go to my sisters house (so that it is the same scale) - about every month or so.. but really the test is my clothes - not the pounds.... the other day a co-worker came up and said are you dieting and i 'fessed up that i was, and i had started exercising too, she said she could tell by my clothes, which just hung on me, and maybe i needed to get better fitting clothes - she meant it nice, but it just came out almost negative.... anyways, the clothes i bought last spring now fall off of me, literally, i can't keep them up, even with a belt.... so i took the observation as a compliment

so what works for me - at least here in the beginning is to measure your success by your clothes & i guess when they start falling off, then weigh in - then you know you will see positive results - and what better incentive than that! the last time i weighed myself, i actually gained 2, but i knew the clothes still felt looser - so i know it was from muscle, not from weight put on.

Default Re: How often do you guys weigh yourselves

In the past when I was trying to lose weight, I weighed myself every day. I found that it can become very addictive to do that also. Also at the same time there are times where you get very discouraged with it all because it keeps going up and down.

I think to be honest about it, that the best thing would be to either put the scales away, or have someone else hide them where no atter where you look you cannot find them. Then only weigh yourself on your Dr's. scale.

They have to keep those balance because they have to be accurate when they weigh us. You can ever stop in to your Dr's. when you are out and about and they might not even mind. You would not be there very long at all. Just to weigh in and thats it.

Does that sound like a good idea ?
