For those that weigh daily...

I never said I don't step on it more than once a day LOL. Mic

Hey Mic! I would like to see 149 too!!!!!!!!!! Don't know that it will ever happen, but it would be nice!!!! I know how much you're into your work outs so your muscle mass is probably pretty dense~that's great b/c your body naturally burns off more cal's during the day on its own~that's why I've stepped up my work out routine too!

I weigh every day, in the morning after I pee and when I'm stark nekkid LOL. I fluctuate maybe a pound. If I went up more than that, I'd panic. However, I haven't lost any for weeks. But I haven't gained either. Lynne 297.5/191/150ish

That's great Lynne! I weigh once in the morning too and it has worked really well so far! Hugs, Tracy B

Hi Tracy, By the way, you're someone who always seemed successful in this journey, and have referred to your posts often for inspiration. BTW I weigh daily. Not compulsively, but as a way to keep myself informed and to learn how my body reacts to my cycle, food intake, time of day, and such. My scale fluctuations about 4 pounds. Still hard to tell how much is a result of my food intake and which is a result of time of day... as I am still losing but very, very slowly. I know if I eat over XXX calories I will not lose and perhaps I will gain. Also I know to average my eating habits for a 48-72 hour period. Just because I ate xx yesterday and xxx today and xx tomorrow, doesn't mean I will gain. But eat xxx in a row and I'll gain! Yes, weighing every day helps me stay on track, as well as not get paranoid.

Thanks so much for your kind words! I've worked really hard and I am so happy that it has all paid off! And I agree~weighing daily keeps me on track and helps me to not be paranoid too!!!! Tracy B

I must confess that I am totally scale obsessed! I weigh myself many many times a day!! I actually read an article recently saying that weighing daily really isn't all that bad. It tends to keep people focused and not allow a big weight change without noticing. And from the responses to this post it seems true. So many weigh everyday! If I am up a pound or two or three I regroup right away and don't let it get carried away. I have always been like this, even when I was obese and on my many thousands of diets I weighed everday or sometimes every hour!!!!

I'm glad to hear that weighing daily isn't a "bad" thing. It seems sometimes people get upset when someone says they weigh themselves every day. I agree that its better to stay on top of things and deal with it right away rather than a week or a month later! Tracy B

I wish I could use daily weights for a guide but I retain so much fluid during any given day and my monthly cycle it becomes self defeating. I limit myself to weekly and only first thing in the morning or I get crazy. Maybe someday it will work for me but for now I go by inches and weekly weigh ins. Laurie

I understand Laure. I think that's what's so important~figuring out what works for you. I see some people that get upset when you say "I weigh myself daily" and they flame you for it, but I think whatever works for that person is what's best! Good Luck to You! Tracy B
