Good for you, I measure too but I do step on the scale once a week just to see where my weight is at but I pay more attention to my tape measure.

I agree Darla, and I did think about the measurers when I posted the poll- but you know too many options, etc....I knew there'd be one or two who didn't go near the scale.


I remember an old CL here who'd hide hers on top of a closet, that she couldn't reach (LOL)- the basement is not only out of sight, but a bit of a trek to as well!

And you're doing terrific with measuring Dee- I think for my own curiosity, if I was one who wasn't so concerned about the actual weight, I'd still be hopping onto the scale every now and then too!

Well "officially" I weigh in every other week, but like right now (up a few from vacation) I'm hopping on a bit more often- not every day, but at least every other day! It's really just to keep me on track, when I see the needle moving up more it really curbs me in to 'be good'. Once I get back down a few more lbs I'll go back to my normal every 2 weeks.


I voted every 2 weeks though.

Well since I am trying to lose weight and I'm dieting it beehooves me to step on the scale LOL

Tommorow is my official weigh in, YIKES But I have to say being on vacation I've been eating really well, sticking to my dieting plan and getting in all my water. I've been really good!!!

Oh good, I'm glad to hear your 'diet' is working out well while being on vacation. Are you doing anything fun while off? How long is your time off?

Nothing too exciting...I went to the beach on sunday but other than that just some shopping one day and just hanging out relaxing by the pool and reading my book that I bought for Vacation. Outrage by Dick Morris about the government...I just finished the chapter on the United Nations and I wasn't a big fan of them before reading the book now I'm REALLY not a fan of them. GRRR the next chapter is the ACLU but I may have to read that tomorrow I don't think my blood pressure can handle that today. HAHA!

But I've done Burn it Up so far all three days, only three more to go...I'm on vacation for the entire week and I'll be going back to work on Monday!

I'm a daily weigher. I've noticed my weight fluctuates a bit during the week, so if I only weigh once a week or less, I feel like I'm getting a less accurate picture of how I'm doing. What if that one weigh in is on a day where I'm retaining water or when for some reason my weight might appear less than what it really is? Now I look at the overall trend of my weight changes and get a feel for whether I'm losing weight overall or if there are temporary fluctuations.

Well that does make a lot of sense I suppose. I guess that's one of the reasons I don't take each weeks weight into account. Until I see that change for 2 weeks then it's not valid enough for me.
