How often do you weigh yourselves??

[DisneyGirl]

I confess, I'm a compulsive weigher!!

I know we really are only supposed to weigh ourselves once a week because weight fluctuates, but that just isn't enough for me!! I usually weigh every morning, and sometimes every morning and night. I get upset when I gain, but in a way, I think that is actually motivation for me (I know a lot of people get de-motivated by that) to step up my workouts or eat better.

I do notice that on days after days I don't workout, I tend to weigh more (but that may just be in my head )

So what works best for all of you??

I weigh every morning and every night. I also feel that it is more motivating for me. At night, I have an idea of how things are going to look in the morning and in the morning, I know if I can have extra points or if I need extra minutes at the gym!

In the past I've tried just using a measuring tape~~that just didn't work for me. I even threw away my scale once, it was out of sight out of mind. I now weight every morning, that works for me. Everyone has to find their own motivation.

It's good to hear from other people that DO weigh every day, and it works for you!! I always feel like I'm breaking some "diet taboo," almost like cheating and eating a lot of junkfood!!! Now, I feel much better!!

I admit I weigh myself a few times a week but only take the official weights once a week (Mondays). It's just that the scale is sitting there staring at me in the bathroom every morning, it just wants me to use it! I sometimes will jump on the scale just to see where I'm at and if I need to do more or etc. It usually makes me work out harder!

I, too, am a compulsive weigher trying to break the vicious cycle! I try to weigh only on Saturdays, but usually sneak a weigh-in in every morning! And I drive myself crazy with it!

I have been known to put the scales in my DH's truck so I can't weigh myself every day. DH leaves for work before I'm even awake so it works for me perfectly. How do I have self-control to stay on a diet, but no self-control to stay off the scales?! I guess I'm an instant gratification kinda gal!
