Default How often do you weigh?

Default Re: How often do you weigh?

Every morning, nekkie, I weigh, and then my 2.5yo weighs herself (she thinks it is fun).

Slightly sad that I am passing on this trend to my daughter.

I don't do this, but after she pees, she always wants to weigh herself (?).

She is excited though and claps when the number pops up.

LOL

Me, not so much clapping going on! LOL

Constantly, out of curiosity. Maybe 3 times per day.

Here's my theory: If I weigh the same at night as I did in the morning, it means the scale will be lower the next morning. So I can anticipate and be happy. And if I weigh a lot more at night than I did in the morning, why, that's perfectly normal given my food and water intake.

And I only count the lowest weight every week, so anything higher doesn't bother me one tiny bit.

Default Re: How often do you weigh?

I try to weigh only once a week, but sometimes (okay, most times) I get curious and get on maybe twice more in the week. So usually, it's at least twice a week. The day I'm most likely to sneak on the scale is the day BEFORE my actual weigh in. I'm like a kid that can't wait for Santy Clause. (lol) I snuck on this morning and at first I got mad because I thought it didn't go down (and I had been good all week and exercised regular), then I realized sheepishly that it had went down 4 pounds!! Sad, so sad. But, I'm happy. I don't want to be a slave to the scale!!!

P.S. When I had a foster-daughter, I had to HIDE the scale from her. She thought she was FAT. She was skinny as a rail and only 11 years old. I would only let her weigh herself once a week, when I weighed myself.

Default Re: How often do you weigh?

I am not as bad as I used to be... but... I do weigh myself as soon as i get up, naked, of course.. then at least once during the day and usually before I go to bed. It's a problem, but I figure it COULD be worse.

Default Re: How often do you weigh?

I tend to weigh every day cause I'm afraid of gaining weight and not realizing it for a week. If I go up any I'm especially careful in what I eat the next two days so it will go right back down. That way I'm able to stay on top of things.

Default Re: How often do you weigh?

although I voted one... I don't do SEVERAL... but at times I do weigh TWICE....

once in the morning.. (yeah.. nekkid.... )... then sometimes evening...with the shower.. (again... nekkid)..


a habit I started this summer
stupid I know... but after after a day of hard work and sweat ... and becoming somewhat dehydrated... (no matter HOW much I'd drink).... it was a little 'fun' to see the temporary weight loss in the evening..

after the shower I'd drink and drink ..

Once a day, ummm I'm lying...probally like three times a day... I know I'm very very sad!!
If the scale hasn't moved at the last weigh in it usally means weight loss in the morning..yipee! I guess there are much worse addictions out there....so yes, I'm a scale addict!!!

Default Re: How often do you weigh?

I said once a week because I do weigh at least once a week to be sure I'm heading in the right direction and to keep myself working away at this. I'm appearing in a play at my office at the end of October and have the most gorgeous dress to wear so am determined I'm gonna fit in the thing properly and not have it altered to fit all my lumps and bumps.
