The scale friend or?

How often do you weigh yourself? Just curious. I weigh weekly and keep track of that weight. It usually goes down this week it was up a couple lbs freaked me out. This was first time it has gone up. Not sure why but I figure its Water retention.

I weigh daily but I don't recommend it I am just insane:) My weight fluctuates and I let it freak me but I just can't ignore the scale...especially since I keep it in the kitchen lol.

I weigh daily. Sometimes several times a day.

I weigh every day too. I'd like to stop but just can't.

I'm preop but I weigh twice per week, on friday morning and on Monday morning. . A lot of times people lose weight during the week and then gain it all back on the weekend

I try to weigh just once a week, on Sunday. Then I put the scale away in the closet so it's not so easily accessible. If it gets left out on the bathroom floor, I just have to jump on it. I just hate being a slave to it or having my attitude for the day dictated by the number.

I weigh myself every morning...I also would love to stop doing that and try weekly but it's so hard :-( but the good thing is at the point where I'm at I'm am steady losing weight so it's always been a great start to my morning...but I know there will come a time where it's not always going to be that way so once a week I know would help keep my sanity when the stalls begin...

I weigh myself three times a week on average. Some people don't like to do it as often. I kinda think it keeps me honest and motivated. To each their own.

The scale is a disinterested observer. The friend or foe is in the head. The trick is taking in his data and concluding wisely. About 50% of the topics here are born of false assumption and hysteria. But..that's ok....we is what we is....human Beans.

Mmmmmmm.......beans!

I don't ever weight myself. I like to be surprised when I go to the Dr.

Just put some masking tape over the number part of the scale. On the tape write down your goal weight. Now EVERY time you step on you will ONLY see your goal weight and are forced to either wait until you see the Dr. or bend over and remove the tape (which you KNOW will be wrong).

I'm in the same boat! Today is week 10 and my first gain. It's disheartening. Any other diet, this would be the time I would throw in the towel. However, logically, I know there is no way I have consumed enough calories within the last week to constitute a 2 pound weight gain. Also, I started in the gym this week, both cardio and strength training. I know that probably has something to do with the weight gain as well.

So, this week it is all about getting my Water and Protein in!!

Keep on keepin' on!!

Its smart to not the numbers dictate to you. We know we are doing everything right so we need patience and we will get to our goal. I have two goals my personal one and the recommended goal according to height weight chart. 40 away from first goal.

Forgive the war analogy.

The war is at a stand off. General Metabolism has ordered a tactical retreat into a defensible position. President Grey Matter has ordered a build up of forces with increased quality of rations and exercise maneuvers. The weak elements of the army are washing out. The flame throwing expanded muscle Fiber brigade are ready to incinerate the enemy. Although Darla Depresso is on the radio trying to tell the troops that the Fat Reich will prevail, the science officers from the Matter administration are keeping the morale high.

The tide turns! The Reich is pushed back. Although seeming to rally at times, the lines of evil diminish.

President Grey Matter orders celebrations. The nation prospers in freedom and decks itself with beautiful new tapestries. Victory at last!

I've been weighing everyday for the past 2 weeks and I'm going to go back to weighing once a week. The ups and downs drive me insane, plus I sabotage myself when I see the number go down. My weigh in day is on Friday

[dstined4gr8tnes 65]

Weigh my self why? I never weigh myself either. Size is more important than pound to me. Plus it can become rather obsessive to constantly count pounds. If you are following proper eating and excersize things should go pretty smoothly....
