How often should you weigh?

I do not keep a scale at home, and I have decided I am going to only weigh when I go to the surgeon's office for my follow-up visits.....for now anyway.  If this a good or bad idea?

Back in the early 1990's, I worked in a doctor's office, and we had three scales.  Three or four times a day, I would go from scale to scale to scale and weigh myself to make sure it was right.  Yes, a bit obsessed, LOL.  So, this is why I do not have scales in my home. 

What are your thoughts?

I think thats a great idea. I obsess over the scale. (when im trying to lose weight) i weigh daily and i wish i didnt. I did back when i was first starting out also. I know alot of people who only weigh once a week or when they go for follow-ups and they arent so uptight and stressed. I know alot of people who dont go by the scale as much as they go by how their clothes fit. Find what works for you!

Right after my surgery i would get on the scales every morning. It was fun to see the scales go down everyday.  THe week that the scles didnt move it was because i was loseing inches.  I eventually had to quit getting on thescales  everyday like after 1 year. so if you are not loseing weight you are loseing inches.  Dont let the scales control you.  I just go by what my clothes feel like these days.

I only weigh on Friday morning.  I keep the scale in the basement so I have to go downstairs to use it.  I've never really been scale obsessed....I now just do it to make sure I am in maintenance and not gaining....I allow a 6 lb range where I know I am comfortable...if I go over it, I cut back a bit.

omg!  wanna talk about obsessed, right after my surgery i probably weighed myself 10 times a day. 

then when i was pregnant....omg, dont get me started.  i watched that scale like a hawk!

now that i am super busy as a mommy and with school work, i think i weigh myself once a week.  maybe twice, just depends.
