How often do you weigh in?

[Erin 6-9-2009 0]

I have heard good arguements for weighing in daily or weekly. What do you do?

[RestlessMonkey 7]

Daily. I know I go up (water) sometimes etc and it doesn't flip me out. But I need that daily "jolt". Otherwise it's too easy for me to "pretend" I'm doing fine even when I'm not. Now that I have the band and don't "diet" I don't obsess over every pound etc like I used to (amazing but true!) so the daily ritual is a good one for me.

I used to only weigh myself once a week on Sunday mornings. I do however find myself weighing myself a few times a week, depending on what my diet is from day to day.

I weigh several times per day. I don't know why, but it keeps me focused. In the past, when I avoided the scale it was because "I couldn't handle the truth" and face the reality of my situation. Weighing everyday keeps me accountable and focused.

I weigh myself at least once a day. it keeps me accountable. i too used to avoid the scale on a regular basis. i used to be scared to look half the time. but now i look forward to getting on it!! its such a rush having the numbers go down instead of up!!

I weight myself first thing every morning. But, I only record my weight on my calendar once a week (on Sundays).

The daily weigh-in keeps me focused and a bit more honest.

To much! I'm one of those people that can't resist getting on the scale every time I walk into the restroom. I don't think it's a good idea, But can't seem to resist. It's kinda funny in a since as I can remember avoiding them at all cost. I didn't even own one until I started my pre-op. I would like to get it down to once a week, I'm working on that. Sometimes I tell myself I'm not getting on that thing but always turn around walk right back in there and jump on. I know terrible!

I weigh every morning and no more the rest of the day. As everyone seems to feel I feel the same way. It keeps me focused. I think once a day is ok as long as you don't get too worked up about up and down a pound or two. Sometimes, I will eat something and gain two pounds the next day. Then, it makes me think about what I ate and what time I ate it and I avoid that the next time. Also, I have hypothyroidism and it really helps me stay on track with the band particularly since I am at the beginning of my journey.

I weigh every morning when I do WiiFit. I go to the bathroom first, and I'm always wearing pretty close to the same thing.

I have only been banded for 3 months. I am trying to weigh myself once a month. I have allowed my weight to control how I feel for way too long! I am learning a new relationship with food. NO MORE CRAZY DIETS!!!! :myscared:Can't say that when I reach my goal won't might weigh weekly or even forbid daily. I sure haven't kept to my monthly but this is a new month so will see how I do? Also looking for NSV. Feel of my clothes, healthy food choices, feeling more comfortable in my skin.....

The last 3 months I have had a love hate relationship with this band. It is getting better......

I weigh myself every morning. Just like to keep mindful of where I am, but I don't obsess.

I weigh every morning when I do my Wii Fit... it gives you BMI and Weight.... I don't ever move the board so it is accurate...sometimes it moans when I step on it....hate that!

Good Luck
