How often do you weigh yourself?

I weigh every day, but I'm also part of a weight loss study that requires me to weigh daily. Prior to joining the study, I weighed once a week only.

I think its gotten SO much easier weighing daily...so much anxiety would build up in me on the days leading up to weigh-in day, wondering if I'd see a change and how much of one. Now I see what the number is and if its a loss, great! if its a gain, i know it could be fluctuation, and it will like change in a day or two, without a week's worth of worrying. 

At 7 years out I still weigh almost daily. I can gain up to 10 pounds in a week if I don't keep myself in check.

So many people would poo poo this because you can't possibly have eaten 33,500 extra calories or some such nonsense, but I absolutely get it! 

Hell if we ate all slider foods it could so happen. 

Yup..... i hit the scale everyday !!!!  

I weighed twice a week during weight loss phase.   Two years out, I now weigh daily.

I weighed myself every Monday the first couple years.  Then I reduced to monthly (or so, give or take).  These days I hardly weigh myself much... I watch my pants, and if they get tight, I weigh more often and take measures to lose again. 

I am lucky (or perhaps not) that it only takes me about 5 pounds or so of gain to feel it in my pants' waists.  I know that doesn't work for everyone....

I weigh daily. I feel in control of my weight loss journey this way. I don't want any surprises. Really it's just about what works for you. But this is my second try and WLS and I'm refusing to fail this time. 

I weigh daily.  I have never been the fastest loser and am still working on the last 15 pounds .  I have tried to make peace within myself with the scale but in honestly,  The scale doesn't lie.  I am a touch over the two-year mark and my honeymoon phase is over. For me, if I didn't weigh daily things could get out-of-control.  I am a work in progress's 205 pounds lost and counting...  To those who have made goal in record time , I bow to you.  You have my respect . To those who have maintained your weight-loss,  you  not only have my respect -you are the rock stars.

I'm weighing daily now, even though I haven't had surgery yet. I've thought a lot about this, because conventional wisdom says to "not weigh daily", but honestly, I never weighed myself as I was gaining weight or getting fatter and fatter. Somehow, "not seeing" that number increase allowed me emotionally to ignore it, even though my clothes were getting tighter and I was becoming more miserable. That number is one of the most concrete indicators I have for how my eating/exercise or lack thereof is affecting my body. So at this point, I'm going with it. NOT being obsessed with the scale has gotten me nowhere.

I like to say I've been a reverse anorexic. Not funny, but funny. I look in the  mirror and often don't see a fat person.
