How often do you weigh yourself? Is every morning too much?
I'm a chronic weigher, if thats even a term, I weigh myself every morning.

Re: The scale...
glad i'm not alone! I never used to weigh myself, but then we got a digital scale at my shower, so now i weigh myself every morning. I work out almost everyday so i always pray to see a difference. It's crazy how it can either really depress me or make me really happy, depending on the number which only has been fluctuating between two numbers!!!

Re: The scale...
once a week...its hard to tell if the scale really changed unless you wait a little..if you do it every day its not really an accurate measure of gain/loss...its hard to tell given that you gain/lose water weight..Plus your only supposed to lose about 2 pounds a week (thats a healthy amount) so its hard to tell if you weigh yourself too soon

Re: The scale...
I have been on a diet since New Year's and I refuse to weigh myself again until February 1st. I know if I do more than once a month I will become obsessed and I can't handle that!
I have even been avoiding the Wii Fit because of it and using my elliptical LOL

I do have an unhealthy obsession of looking at my stomach in the mirror though...so maybe i should stop that and just go buy a scale.
i do that too!!! ALL the time!!! lol DH thinks I'm nuts i'm convinved that all and any extra weight goes directly to my stomach--so i always check it glad i'm not alone

Re: The scale...
Before I got preg..I weighed myself weekly. I wanted to see how my diet that week effected my weight gain or loss. Now that im prego I weigh myself every 2 weeks. Im still weigh less then before I got pregnant And I do eat like crazy, but I eat so healthy and I always have. I cant stomach fried foods or to much sugar.

haha that is how i feel...before college when i used to dance i had the flatest stomach and abs like a nice six pack...now they are just hard with a little pouch over it haha i am always checking bec thats how i know if i am bloated or not etc.
also it goes to my thighs as well...but they are just depressing so i never check those out in the mirror

Re: The scale...
That is funny you should post this today. I was complaining about weight gain, I have a yearly work physical and it is getting scary. Leaving the house earlier, I stepped on cinder block DH put out for me to use as a step after my surgery. When I stepped on it, it crumpled under me ! wow do i feel fat.........

Re: The scale...
I dont own a scale and havent owned one in years. I weigh myself once a week at the gym. Scales make me neurotic.

Re: The scale...
I got two for my b. shower (is someone trying to give me a hint or something? ) and I weighed myself on it three times since then...I go by how my clothes fit more than the scale, bec my OCD self could see myself trying to control what it says and freaking out

Re: The scale...
Dont weigh yourself every day. You will just make yourself crazy!!! Do it once a week.
If you can handle it and want to weigh yourself every day, dont give it much stock. Your weight can fluctuate like 3-5 lbs and you will just drive yourself nuts lol
