I was always a weekly weigher but with the reappearance of Flo, not exercising and with not excersing usually the onset of things I really shouldn't be eating and with all the extra baggage that has become attached to me I've been a daily weigher. Just now coming back down the scale. Of course I can also blame, Breyer's, Edy's!

I, too, weigh each Monday morning before getting dressed or eating or drinking anything.

generally about every 2 weeks or so. i try to take into account that Aunt Flo is signalling a visit and such... i would avoid weighing myself more than once a week. with all the ups and downs your body does during a typical week, i would go nuts if i did it more often.

i also don't pay as much attention to the scale (other than wanting to avoid it going up past a certain level) and i pay much more attention to my tape measure - but i avoid doing that more than every week too...

Thanks everyone!! I learned a few things in the last few years..I do need to get on the scale every once in awhile (avoided it for a long time), but it is totally frustrating to me to weigh-in weekly for WW with ups and downs.

I used to do it biweekly. At some point before I restarted my exercising, I didn't see enough of a difference weekly like I used to, and that's discouraging.

But after coming to the semi-conclusion that my weight goal might be unrealistic, I hardly step on the scales at all anymore. Here's my routine when I do finally get on the scales: After a weekend or spell where I eat too much, I'll get back into a better routine for about 3-4 days and ONLY THEN do I step on the scales. By waiting, I know any temporary bloatedness/weight gain is gone and it's a more just measure of where I am. If I step on the scales the day after my overindulgence, I don't think I'd react positively and I wouldn't view temporary gains for what they are.

When I'm serious about losing weight, I weigh every morning. When I'm being bad I quit weighing myself, as I have done for the past month! I stepped on the darn scale yesterday and YUCK! Now I have to get back on track! I'm hoping that following along with you guys on this board will help give me incentive! (S) You all sound so inspirational.

On WW you have to pick your weigh-in day....I may change mine.

Yes--for me there are dangers for not stepping on it and dangers for (woe of ups and downs).

Deb - One of my coworkers is now a WW lifer. She lost about 40 lbs and reached goal last fall. She still goes for weigh-ins every 2 weeks on Fridays, and enjoys her weekends within reason. Her weigh-in outfit is a parachute fabric jogging suit. She removes her shoes and any jewelry she might be wearing before stepping on the scale. To her, every ounce counts!
