Ok...I'm having this problem with weighing myself. I used to do it twice a day and at times it can become very discouraging. I am thinking about not weighing myself again until my clothes do not fit?? Do you think that is a good idea? Or should I monitor my weight. Please let me know.

I do feel my clothes getting looser by the minute

How often you weigh is very much a personal thing. I weigh myself first thing in the morning and last thing at night every day. The two weights are usually about 4 pounds apart, which is to be expected. Usually when you weigh first thing in the morning, after going to the bathroom, you are at your lightest. I use my weight as a guide and do not get obsessed when the scales go up a pound or two for no apparent reason.

Many however only weigh themselves once a week or less often as they do not want to be discouraged by small changes on the scales.

Others prefer not to use the scales at all as a measure and use the pant-o-meter. Those trousers that did not fit, but over time they do.

The choice is very much up to you and what you feel happiest with. You almost want to do a poll on this!

I agree it is a personal choice. At first I was weighing myself daily first thing in the morning every morning. The drops in weight were helping with motivation. Now I weigh myself every other day when I go to the gym but count my monday weigh in as my weight loss (gain) for the week.

You need to do what is good for you!!

I'm not real sure what I'm going to do. I really like the idea of the pant-o-meter. hahahaha

I think I might just start weighing once a week in the morning only.

Thanks for the advice

Pant-o-Meter with a weekly weigh-in for me.
I can see and feel a difference throughout the week and I will not get discouraged by daily bumps in the road.

I feel good during the week and I am commited so if at the end of the week if I get a measured sucess on the scale it's a huge bonus!

I like to weigh myself ever morning, but I enjoy it and don't obsess about the little ups and downs....I chart my weight and as long as there's a downward trend, I'm happy.

When I was getting fatter, I was always so terrified to get on the scale. I guess I thought if I didn't know what the number was, then I couldn't actually be that big. So now I'm trying to make friends with the scale and for me, that means getting on there a lot more than the once a year at the doc's office that I used to when I wasn't working on losing the weight.

Do whatever makes you feel most comfortable! Good luck
