How Often Do You Weigh Yourself?

I've been there with the multiple times per day... not good for me at all anxiety-wise! 

You are right - that's an excellent article.  Though, I would absolutely freak out if the scale showed a 10lb increase in one day.  LOL!

Thanks~!

 Initially, I weighed only at the doctors office, per their request. Then as time passed, 2 plus years to be exact, I weighed at work. Now I weigh at work and the gym, and they are the same.Trying to decide if I should buy a scale too.

Your weight fluctuates too much in a 24 hour period.  I think it's best to do it once a week.  I do it once a week on the same day at the same time.  Because I workout and weight lift I realize I may lose inches and not pounds I also measure myself on the first of every month. 

I also take a picture of myself every month.  I have trouble looking in the mirror and seeing the weight loss.  I still see an obese woman.  So when I take pictures and compare them then I can see the difference.  I have the oldest picture on the fridge along with the newest picture so I can see every day how much weight I have lost. 

I weigh every morning. I don't weigh myself to see what I've lost, I weigh myself to make sure I don't gain any weight back.

You know, I never thought of it that way, but that's an excellent approach to take.  I will bear that in mind when I get close to my goal.

Thanks alot~!

Edited:  Changed "if I get close to my goal" to "when I get close to my goal".  Thinking positively...  

 

It's like reverse physiology.

Exactly!  LOL!

I have to agree with ms lisa (go girl with that 200 lb weight loss by the way )....I weigh daily and record once a week. I haven't started with the measurements yet, but I'll start that soon. Just do what works for you but remember what others said...weight fluctuates during the day so don't get discouraged!

I am trying to remember that - thanks~!

I'm like Pumpkin... I weigh myself every morning just to keep myself in check.  It's very easy to fall off the bandwagon and give into temptations.
  I've been at goal for almost a year, I've been losing weight again recently because I am in training to run a 10 mile race in August so following the bandster rules closely. 

Take care all!
