How ofter do you weigh

[southernqt 236]

I have 4 more days on liquids. As some of you may have read previously I was banded in 2011 but have gained back about 15. Finally gave in and called doc who has me in shakes and I see him on Monday. Ok. .. I lost over 5 last week weighed today and gained 3 ! What's up with that? So how often does everyone weigh? I know I shouldn't look every other day but love to see it go down. Motivation. But the other side is when I gain. Now depressed. Help plz.

I go to a weekly meeting called TOPS (take off pounds sensibly) and we weigh every Monday at the same time. This month though I haven't weighed at all because of work so I have no clue what I weigh. I would say maybe every week or two on the same day and the same time but that's just my opinion :-)

Make yourself a weight chart and put it on the wall whereever you keep your scales. Weigh once a week and record it. If you have the urge to weigh, just look at your weight chart instead and be like a little kid at christmas until its time to weigh again. That has worked for me.

I'm addicted to my scale. I weigh everyday. Can't help myself.

I like the idea of the chart. I will make 1 up like a countdown. That may help me only check it weekly and motivations too cause I can mark it off as I lose. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks you CG I've been going since I was about 11..... But it has helped me the most since I got my lap band. I enjoy my group :-)

I weigh once a week on Sundays. A couple of times I've done a mid week one if I feel different, but I only record in my fitness pal on Sundays. I don't know how you guys do it every morning, I would drive myself nuts!!!

[HotButterFly 981]

LapBanlo, my scale is consistent with my daily doings, that's why it doesn't drive me crazy.

[jamilyne 102668 1,207]

I weigh all the time (lol) but I know that I'm going to be up and down during the day. Actually, I attribute being this overweight because I didn't have a scale for years and it was kind of like out of sight -out of mind. It makes me accountable and I know right now where I am on that scale! No surprises for me!

Honestly, i hop on everyday..... BUT, the number really doesn't phase me at all, whether is up or down (ok, maybe I get a little happy if its down from the day before) BECAUSE I go by how good I feel and how my clothes are fitting me. I find that clothes are a better gauge to mark our success.

Me, too. I weigh each morning at 7am; but really go by how I feel in my clothes. They actually go hand-in-hand, right? Weight dropping = clothes looser.

This morning I put on a dress I hadn't worn in 40 pounds. Pulling the fabric away from my body, I said to my older daughter "Hmmm...perhaps I should retire this soon." "Thin girl problems," she replied.

"Thin girl problems' date='" she replied.
