How often do you weigh yourself? (Xpost RNY & Illinois)

I have become obsessed with the scale. I weigh daily and get upset if I see no loss. I know this isn't good. How often do you guys weigh yourself? Thanks :)

I was the same when I was like you - just shortly PO. I do continue to weigh myself now but it is more like 3-4 times a week, sometimes less.

During the first 18 months, I weighed myself daily. It was my favorite thing to do! I never had any stalls, so it didn't bother me to weigh myself.

Now, just 20 months out, I weigh myself about 5 times a week. It's still a treat, but I've been at goal for months, so the excitment is waning, I guess.

My therapist (and I) disagrees with people who say weighing yourself daily is unhealthy. She says that if that number causes you to do or think something stupid (like starving or hating yourself), then THAT's unhealthy.

I too weighed myself daily and would get upset with no loss or an increase but then that would usually be followed by a loss. Now I weigh myself every Thursday.  Why Thursday?  Don't know....but Thursday mornings are my weigh-in days.
