A weigh in survey- when do you weigh and how often?

Hi OH- friends!
Does it become an obsession or what? (YES, I know this much already)
Weighing daily? how does that even work, when you are trying to loose a substantial weight? vs. once a week or monthly?

When do you weigh in and how often?
I may go with weekly or monthly? (as in the past) daily is too much for me.
Some say it's how they are able to keep themselves in check by weighting daily, I may need to keep this practice in mind once reaching goal?
Give me some good feedback folks!
Thanks-jbug

I don't own a scale.  I weigh myself mostly when I see my doctor.  Occasionally I'll get on a friend's scale if I want to see my weight at other times.  But I don't weigh very often.

I choose to weigh daily since hitting the maintenance phase, and adjust what I need to do for the day accordingly. I find that easier to do than have to deal with a week or a month's worth of correcting course.

For the first year, I weighed twice a week in order to not be too obsessed with how much I was losing.

Hope this is helpful!

I weigh every morning, often in the evening again! But it doesn't  worry me if the scales go the wrong way a pound or so or, when I was losing, if they didn't go down for a while. 

I charted my wright while losing once a week.

Now I still weigh every day to make sure I don't start to gain too much!

there is no right or wrong answer. Do what you are comfortable with doing. But don't obsess about numbers! You will have times of no loss or even gains and for some people that is hard to handle.  If that's you, try not to weigh at all,  just judge by your clothes. 

 

Me too.  I weigh every morning. I'm very early in my progress. It doesn't bother me when i stall. I know it will pick up again.

 

i participate in the lightweight boards weekly Sunday weigh in.   I may get on it mid week, but only record my Sunday weight

I have always weighed 5-6 times daily since high school. Always make sure that you are wearing the same thing, weigh at the same times of day, and that the scale is in the same spot on the floor to get the most accurate reading. Remember that eating and drinking makes the number go up.

What's the point in weighing multiple times a day?

I have always done it ever since I started gaining weight for no reason in the 1980's.

But what do you GET out of it? It doesn't give you new information, but it must satisfy some psychological/emotional need. It is obsessive, but obsessions always serve some purpose.
