I have obsessively weighed myself every morning since I was 17. Literally . I know they say not to do this, but I cant help myself. I want to start South Beach next week, and think it might be a good idea if I didnt weigh myself after the initial 2 week phase. I dont know how I'm going to do this...I might actually have to physically remove my scale and bring it to my moms house.

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
i weigh myself almost every day - psycho yes - but i will never let myself get chubby again - i hated the way i felt about myself and i dont ever want to be that way again - so for me, it keeps me in check - if i see my weight going up a few pounds i try to get back into eating more healthy....if i didnt have a scale i would def get chubby again because i like to eat a lot of bad foods! i love lots of pasta, chips and fast food so i still get to enjoy those things but weighing myself a lot keeps me from putting the weight back on.....
good luck! dont peek!

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
They absoultely tell you not to but I have been for the last three weeks becuase I've been dieting. It helps me get trhough the day and I haven't been disappointed yet... with the exception of Sunday morning after a night of drinking.

I never weigh myself. I just go by my clothes.

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
Every day. Sometime twice a day...morning an night. I'm excessive. It's something I did when I was younger. When I got my own place I didn't have a scale for awile or a full length mirror, and that's when the pounds crept back on. Since I am with FH, I do it every single day....

I wish I could do that. For some reason even when my clothes feel big, I'm still heavy....

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
I do too! and i just got a new scale and I HATE IT. I'll put it down in one corner of the room and it says I'm 124 lbs. It says FH is 162.2 lbs.
I'll take it to another corner of the room and it says I'm 127.8 lbs, FH still is 162.2/
What the hell? I gain 4 lbs walking across the room? SO FRUSTRATING!

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
I lost 60lbs. I vowed never to be heavy again. I weigh myself first thing every morning. It helps me realize when I may be overindulging and I need to cut back again.

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
yes i do, 3x a day! once in the morning, when i come home from work, and before bed. it helps me keep track of my weight, and now that i'm back on WW, it really helps me monitor how i'm doing. it's just such a normal routine for me, i've been doing it for years now. however, we got a new scale, and it is the most inaccurate scale in the world, so frustrating!

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
I weigh myself about once a year. I feel like I shouldnt base my looks on a number. I normally just go by how I feel in my clothes or how I look in the mirror. I say get rid of the scale.

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
I weigh myself twice a day--first thing in the morning and when I get home from work FH threatens to take it away, but i would go nuts without it They do say that people who weigh themselves everyday control their weight more.

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
i have read articles that say its best to weight yourself everyday - that way you notice when you are gaining weight - i am psycho about it but i think that i would make a lot less healthier choices if i was not weighing myself regulary...it totally keeps you in check - i read an article that said that if you diet and lose weight but stop weighing yourself after you reach your goal weight you are much more likely to put the weight you lost back on

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
Don't weigh yourselves.....measure your body weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. A scale will drive you nuts.

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
I do now bc I gained FIFTEEN pounds since the wedding and I had no idea. I usually gain weight around my belly, so my pants will be tight. However, this time I gained it in my thighs and behind so I had NO IDEA until I stepped on the scale and BAM! There it was!
So now, I lost five pounds watching what I eat and on the 30 day shred and I want to keep going so I check almost every day!

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
I feel like I really need to do this. I've been up and down over the years, but have been gaining steadily since I got home from the HM. I get on the scale in the morning, see the numbers and get upset, but not motivated enough to do anything about it. I think that if am dieting and dont weigh myself for a few weeks, it might be more motivation...the anticipation of seeing what the number will be when I finally do get on it.
Athough I weigh myself so often that I really dont even need a scale...most times I can tell from my body what it will say even before I get on it
Glad to hear about all you girls that are losing...it motivates me

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
I weigh and measure myself once a week.
I'm back to making a concerted effort for my weight loss...not just because of the wedding but for my health. Weighing myself once a week and measuring myself keeps me honest and accountable. If I did it everyday it would not be healthy for me. The only time I weigh myself now more than once a week is when I know bad foods are going to be around...i look at the progress I've made and it gives me more resolve not to eat the bad food.

Re: Do you weigh yourself every day?
I don't own a scale. I just use the fit of a certain pair of pants to see if I'm losing weight or not. Usually not.
