I think that we all need to weight as often as it works for us as individuals! I tend to be a daily guy, well, if I go to the gym I weigh myself. they have balance scales there, so I expect them to be more accurate than the one I have.

Liliann, I can understand wanting to check often, especially when we see the scale so many times.
I record weekly, but when I have a binge, I weigh daily to see how it affected my wt.
I just hate to see a gain, but it is a work in progress.
My binges are getting less frequent, but they are only a kitchen away. I am trying to drink more, water, coffee, etc and that helps some.
We will all figure this out.

This one is sooooo tricky. I think Pepperman nails it! We have to understand our mindset and what really helps each of us individually to move forward. You see tons of "experts" on the net telling you to not weigh daily. And you see just as many telling you to weigh every day. There's just no one answer for everyone. Just like there's no one perfect diet that fits everyone.

I tend to be a daily weigher. It helps me understand how my body responds to certain things and how many days it takes to show up on the scale. I do know a lot of people though who can only weigh every couple weeks - more often makes them really anxious.

Thanks all...Have heard a few people weighs daily and successful..I use as a guide, looking at past food journals on why its not passing the 40s range. I feel better weighing in..each morning and that is it. I understand I cheated and helps to change that.

Its all boils down to is not getting frustrated and move on..This is a journey and learning and watching on how my body will change.

I weigh once that a few people told me and not being obessed of what the number on the scale says. I am doing good tracking..even brought pencils, pencil sharpners, folders on ongoing tracking calories..carbs..looking through to making wise food choices.

what reboot says...Its tricky..so true.as much a personal use how we handle about the scale.

Again all,,Thanks! :)

For me it's not so much what the scale says every day but what my food journal tells me. I know how many calories I need to take in every day to reach my goal weight and what kind of foods I need to be eating to be healthy. I try to be brutally honest in keeping track of what I eat and if I have to guess I try to guess on the high side. There are a number of online programs and smart phone apps that can help in logging what you eat. I use My Fitness Pal because I like the large food data base and the different reports that I can get out of it.

Bottom line is that we can't always control what the scale will say but we can control how many calories we eat each day That's the more important number we should focus on. If the numbers in our food journal are where they should be the numbers on the scale will eventually follow.

This whole process often reminds me of a Yogi Berra quote about baseball.... "Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical."

For me, how I think about what I eat and how I respond mentally to what I see on the scale, how I respond to food cravings etc is 90% of the process. The other half is what I actually eat ;-)
