How often to you step on the scale? How often do you take your measurements?

I weigh myself every day, even though I tell myself every day that tomorrow I'm not going to do it. I just can't help myself. I've only measured myself once since the surgery. I should do that more because, when I took those measurements, I had lost 4 feet of myself!

I weigh myself every day - and I, too, try not to be so obsessed with it! When I went out of town a couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd go nuts, not knowing how much I weighed those days! I never measure myself. I can feel it in my clothes if my weight shifts.

Every day, first thing in the morning. I want to know if the scale moves up. I let my clothes measure for me now. Carla

I weigh almost every day, but I dontlet it rule the day! i just try to keep track of where i am, so if I gain a biot, i can tweak and get back on track. I havent really measured myself much, I can tell by the clothes I wear if I have lost or gained inches. Blessings Betsy

I weigh myself each morning, even though I know I shouldn't. I don't stress over it, but it does seem to help keep me in tune with myself. I should measure myself, but that's one thing that I haven't done. Jules

I know we're not suppose to, but I get on the scale every morning. I don't get upset if it's 1/2 pound higher or so. It just helps me keep things in perspective! As far as my measurements, I've never taken them. My measurements wasn't what I've ever looked at; only the scale. Michele

I weigh myself a couple of times a week. I don't do measurements.

I weigh every a.m. before I eat or drink anything...I took my measurements b4 surgery, but have not taken them since.

For sure I weigh in once a week so I can report in on our challenge but I am finding that if I don't weigh in more often, I am tempted to "cheat" with foods because I am not being held accountable so I think i am better off keeping track of how I am doing each day. Then if I go up, I can cut back a little right away. I can't ignore the numbers on the scale if they are staring back at me! As far as measurements go, I was doing that monthly but now it has been almost 6 months. I will get measured next week for my one year surgiversary. I will probably do it every 6 months then. Jolene
