I am just two weeks out and am totally addicted to the scale!! I need to put it away. The first week I lost 12 pounds, this week nothing. It is making me crazy. I get on it approx. 5 times a day. I really have a problem!!! I am going to put that scale away right now!!

Lots of good advice from lots of people here.

Great to see you're so dedicated to your physical regimen. It will serve you well!

I weighed myself once a week during my first 18 months out. Always on a Wednesday evening on my way home from work. That was my doctor's late night.

I eventually transitioned to once a day, buck naked, first thing in the morning. That is my ritual to this day. I rely on the scale to help me keep in touch with my body. it's not the only number that matters, not by a mile, but it matters, and it's a fair guage of personal trends and patterns.

I'm so happy for you. Sounds like things are going great!
