fellow gainers...

how often and when do you check your weight?

am i the only one that weighs once a week, first thing in my undies?
or d'yall just let the doctors do it for you?

i know this is a really daft question but im curious.... :|

I do once a week, too...first thing in the a.m. in the buff!  I used to weigh like 5x a day, but I suprising like doing it once a week.

ooh i used to be guilty of the obsessive weighing multple times a day too! so glad i kicked that habit :D

erm...unfortunately its only about every 6 weeks :/ which im not happy about cos i want to kno when i stop gaining so i can up the cals!

I use to never weigh during the beginning of my recovery, then my nutritionist did it weekly for me without telling me, and now I do it once a day in the morning, to try to understand fluctuations and such. But I am trying to just do it once a week instead because I don't want to resort to anything negative thought wise!!!

every day in the morning so i can track my process.

When I was gaining, I weighed in once a week unless I was having difficulties gaining. Then I weighed in every other day or every three days. Each time I got weighed in the same clothes, in the morning, after going to the bathroom and before eating and drinking.

 

thank you :)

as im trying to let go, i just rescently cut down to once a week so i dont freak out about little fluctuations and such....

im also trying to rid myself of this obsession and be happy again, ANOREXIA FREE! ahahahahaha (:

im not allowed to have a scale in my house(per request of the therapist, even tho i was never weighing obcessed) so i only get weighed in once a week... friday morning at the doc.

 

gotta say tho if it were up to me i would wanna keep track of my progress and make sure i was efectively doing the right things in order to gain because i am abbbbbsolutely PARANOID every friday morning b.c i have no clue how my past week will show up in those 3 seconds i step on the scale!

 Congradulations on your small victories.  What a small world that people on both spectrum of the weight issue have the same problems.  I used to be obsessed with weighing myself all the time when I was trying to lose weight.  I guess on both sides it can run your life.  Keep up the wonderful effort.

I don't own a scale at home but weigh myself once a week at the gym before I go to a weekly class I'm taking.  It's after work and I usually have all of my clothes and even shoes on.  It may not be the most accurate pound-wise but at least it will show any progress I'm making.  As long as your consistent in when you weigh yourself and don't get into a situation where you can obsess over it, I think it's alright.  However, be careful... it's too easy to get too focuses on the number on the scale, at least it used to be for me.
