How often does everyone weigh in.......?

[Dakloh 0]

So how often does everyone weigh in at home? How often do you weigh in with the bariatric team? How often do you go to support groups and do you weigh there? I weigh daily at home and it is making me crazy....I think I am obsessing....I could just weigh every Friday with the Bariatic team. (I work in the hospital where they are located, but I don't know if the suspense would kill me.)

Dakloh - I think I tend to be a little obsessive and weigh myself at home at least every other day, if not every day. But I'm trying to break myself of that and only weigh-in weekly. I find that my weight fluctuates so much, that the day-to-day is likely not as reliable? If that makes sense? Let's break the obsession, lol!

I think once a week is best as daily is making me crazy, up and down. It is so hard. I have a scale here at home, work in the hospital where I had the band placed, so I can weigh on their scale any time I want to and I have a scale in my office. I think alll 3 are about in the same range...maybe off .5 of each other.

Wow, how strange, we all are obsessing!! LOL I do the same thing then tell myself how silly it is because if I fluctuate a few ounces up, I'm upset and thinking about it all day. We do need to just go to once per week! It's so hard, though, because when your really trying to do the right things, you want to know if it's paying off! I, for one, am starting my weighing just once per week (starting tomorrow!)

I have gotten myself down to once a week and then in the morning before I go to the surgeon's office which is every 6 weeks now. If I flunctuated, I drove myself crazy trying to figure out what I did wrong, because it could not be something so simple as Water gain....

i weigh myself every morning... it helps keep me on track for that day. if i've stayed the say i can eat "normally". if i've gained a pound or 2, i watch what i eat that day.

since i'm almost 3 years post-of, i don't see my surgeon very often. i haven't been to see him since April 2010. i'll probably make an appointment to see him April 2011 for a yearly check up. i've lost an additional 25 pounds during this past year after my surgeon didn't think i'd lose anything more!

I'm the same as Kalipso2, I weigh myself daily (morning after urinating - and nude). It keeps me on track for the day and I tend to watch my hunger more when the scale has gone up.

I get weighed at every appointment at my Drs, and those are monthly right now.

I weigh myself every few days, but I don't count my weight loss until I have stayed at the same number at least two consecutive weigh-in's. That's when I update ny ticker.

I weigh in every day, although do sometimes forget to do it so it ends up being every second or third day. But I find that weighing in once daily helps to keep me on track and gauge how well I am doing. The support group I go to run my my surgeon meets once a month at the hospital where I was banded and they don't weigh us in there but I do get weighed in once a month at the surgeon's office.

Coming up on 3 years out and I STILL weigh myself every morning! I do it right after my morning pee. I know that many will tell you that is a bad habit. But, at least from my perspective, I disagree. It has helped me to evaluate how what I did the day before affects my weight. As long as you weigh yourself at the same time every day and can understand and handle the fact that there will be some minor up-and-down fluctuations, then weighing often should not be an issue.

I weigh every morning, like other posters it keeps me on track.
