How often do you weigh?

I decided last week that I would only weigh myself on Sundays so that I didn't get depressed (or too optimistic) during the week.  Its only Thursday, and I feel like its been a month since I last weighed myself.  How often do you weigh yourself and how do you keep yourself off the scale the rest of the time?

I only weigh myself if I've been good the past couple of days.  If I had a really bad cheat weekend, I'll wait about 5 days, because I'm scared of what the number will say! :)

I weigh in once a week.  I help a friend who has cancer by cleaning her house on mondays.  She has a digital scale in her bathroom so I do it at her house.  That way im not tempted to weigh everyday at my house.

everyday.

my goal is once ever few weeks!

I do it once a week, usually Saturday or Sunday. I wouldn't want to drive myself crazy by doing it a few times a day.

When I first started changing my eating habits I stepped on the scale probably 4 or 5 times a day, the curiosity was just too much, but I only logged the average of when I first got up and right before bed.  Right now I weigh myself first thing in the morning, and don't really find myself with any urge to check more often. If I miss one morning, it's no big deal.  For me starting my day with a quick hop on the scale is a reminder of what I'm trying to do with my eating habits.  I think once I'm closer to the weight I want to maintain I'll probably only weigh in once a week because by then I hope my new eating habits will be worked into my head enough that I don't have to think about them to remember to do them.

Twice a day at the same time in the morning and evening. I keep a log of what I weigh at each time and what I had to eat & drink before I weighed myself. 6+ months of this has taught me what a normal fluctuation is so I am less likely to freak if I find myself up 2 pounds in the evening after having a couple of vodka and soda's

 

Before starting my diet I only got on a scale when my doctor made me. Or once a year at my moms..now its every day it would make me feel bad seeing it go up and down every day BUT with the chart here on CC that shows the blue line of my ups and down and the green line of my progress and it goes steadily down so yay!

I weigh myself every morning and every night, but I don't count the night one..it's just for curiosity. I go by my morning weight.

i have a REALLY bad habit of weighing myself every 10 seconds (recovering ana) and i also have a REALLY REALLY bad habit of weighing myself right after meals and then freaking at the number.

i'm slowly working towards weighing myself once a day; every morning after waking up and going to the bathroom with no clothes on. and eventually i will weigh myself every other day.

i don't think i could ever get to be one of those once-a-week weighers.

there are 2 opinions:

weigh weekly.......so you aren't upset at normal daily fluctuations.

weight daily.........so you can catch a couple of pounds so it isn't so hard to lose.

I weight every morning and after I exercise, I come back here and edit it as its always lower.  Also if I wake up in the middle of the night I weigh.

Every morning, before breakfast, in my underwear.

do you all own your own scales? or do you go to like a grocery store to weigh??

We have scales in our bathroom  - how on earth do you weight yourself at a grocery store????

lol i knew that question was coming.... florida has a grocery store called publix and near the front  of the store they have a human scale

If you have a hard time limiting your weigh ins, it might be better to not keep one at home. And then only weigh once a week at your family member's house, or somewhere you go frequently.
