I am steadily losing around 2 to 2 1/2 pounds per week. But I was weighing every day and it was so discouraging because it went up and down all week! Now, I weigh every friday morning and 2 pounds were gone again this week! Woo hoo!

WTG!!

I admit to being a scale slave as well. I have started a challenge with a few others on the forum to only weigh twice a week.. it's HARD, but well worth it! Kudos to you!

I totally agree with weighing in only once a week. I think we tend to have daily fluctuations that can be discouraging at times.

I am so glad you made the switch! I weigh once a week and record whatever that is. Weighing everyday just plays mind games with me since this is supposed to be a WOL I had to do something to stop that kind of thinking. Weighing every week and not everyday makes me an easier person to live with.

I am going to force myself to only weigh once a week. I stepped on the scales today and I am up 1.5 lbs. I'm not sure why but I am about to go away for the weekend and now all I can think of is "why did I gain, what did I eat wrong?" I am going to have my husband hide the scales and only bring them out once a week.

I too am glad you made the switch. I weigh weekly and it really helps with the emotional rollercoaster that the scale can bring.

I was so good about only weighing once a week at my weigh in group, but now I find myself getting on the scale at home. I said I was not going to become a slave to the scale so I had better get this habit corrected. Its so hard to watch the fluctuations. Where is the posted?

oops I meant to ask where is the challenge posted

I agree with Freckles on weighing more often if you're making changes.

I weigh every morning now that I finally bought a scale and it's not a good thing. I'm going to weigh tomorrow morning and then put the scale away and only weigh in on Saturdays from now on. I drive myself crazy with that stupid thing

My goal is to weight once a week! I had a thread awhile back about my scale obsession, and I've had a NSV of sorts. I actually weighed every day this week, but only first thing in the morning! That's down from about 27 weighings a week! I used to get so mad at myself, playing "head games" with the scale. I would weigh first thing, and then get mad when I weighed a few hours later and would be up 3 pounds! Well, duh - clothes do weigh a little more than when I step on the scale in my panties! Anyway, I'm working towards that goal of once a week weighing on Monday morning!

I've been weighing once a week since I started on 12/27/03. It works much better for me. I think I have pretty big water fluctuations. I know myself. I'd obsess waaaaaaaaaaay too much if I tried to weigh every day. So now I just do my eating, mostly on auto-pilot at this point, and weigh in once a week. It can still be discouraging--I tend to go in patterns of losing some inches for about two weeks then a week or two of pound loss, so weighing just once a week is good because I have to focus on other measures, like those jeans I can now wear.

I agree with Freckles - when you are still experimenting with what you can add and what not, I am so glad when I get an early warning from the scale. I guess I am not a scale slave anyway because I only got frustrated when it didn't go down for a month!

Eeeks, I weigh myself TONS of times a day. First thing when I wake up, then after I go bathroom, then before I go to bed at night to see how much I lose overnight while sleeping! So three times a day -- minimum!

I weigh only on Mondays and find its the best way, last week I weighed my self on a wednesday and thought I had gined and it put me under alot of pressure before the following Monday which I was down

But each to there own
