How often do you check your progress?

[sleepyjean 0]

I'm curious to know what other people are doing. How often do you weigh yourself? Do you measure yourself? Do you go by the fit of your clothes?

In the past, when I've lost weight, I've weighed myself on a weekly basis. I think when I get banded, I'm going to try to check my progress no more often than once a month - I'll weigh myself, take my measurements, and take a progress photo once a month. I'm hopeful it will help keep me from obessessing.

All you bandsters, how are you keeping track?

I know I probably shouldn't, but I weigh every morning (and sometimes before bed too, lol). I took an after picture at 50 lbs and my next pic will be when I hit 199. I'm too lazy to take measurements - I just go with my clothing size.

Like Anwyn, I weigh every morning and occassionally at night...

When I've done the challenges on here that required measure weekly, I did that. Otherwise I don't measure myself very often at all.

I'm addicted to the scales! I weigh every morning. I just started measuring because of one of the challenges & I wish I had been doing it all along. I think it is actually more rewarding for me than watching the scale bounce up & down.

Every morning and usually at night too. I have a wardrobe full of new with tags clothing in various sizes that I often pull out and try on. There's plenty of things I'm now wearing.

I'm a "weigh every morning" person -- but I don't obsess about normal fluctuations in weight; I've been dieting too long and I know that's normal.

If you are an obsesser, I can see why you'd want to only weigh once a month during the losing phase. On the other hand, if the day you weigh in you happen to be up a few pounds due to Water retention, you might think you lost nothing and get discouraged.

I weigh every morning and sometimes at night. I also take pictures and measurements on my monthly surgery anniversary.

In the beginning I weighed every other day, now, a year later, maybe every other week.

I weigh myself almost every morning; for me it is about accountability... But I only take my measurements quarterly...and only then because my gym does them. I go by the fit of my clothes.

I luckly haven't owned a scale up until x-mas, I only go my doctors scale. Which i only weigh on 1-2 times a month. My scale @ home is Pretty close to my doctors scale so every now and then i will jump on to see what it says..I am going to asked the doctor to measure me @ my next appt. I haven't measured myself since i went to his seminar in APRIL 2005!!!!I try not to obsess about it..But sometimes i can't help it...The Fitting of the clothes helps me when i am depressed..Kristen334.5/277.5/150

I just got a scale for xmas, so now I'm addicted and I weigh myself every other time I walk pass it (it's in the kitchen).:nervous Before I got one, I weighed once at wk at my support group.

[Iluvharleys 15]

I weigh once a week, and I measure about every 3 months or so.

Once a day - sometimes every other day - first thing in the morning.

I haven't done any measurements. Dunno why, just haven't felt the need. I go by my clothes more often than not.

once a week is more than enough for me. Maybe when I like what the scale reads I will do it more often:heh:
