Clicky Poll: Weighing Yourself
Re: Clicky Poll: Weighing Yourself
I think I want that scale.
My apparently accurate scale (gives same weight as doctor's and gym's) often has a 2-3kgs difference depending on the time of day.
This lead me to experiment with it and I noticed that I always weigh around 500gr less directly after a shower. I promise I'm not that dirty!
I'm lighter in the mornings as well - and I promise I never wet the bed.
Very weird.
I voted twice a week, which is about what I had been doing. However, since my back has been screwed up and I haven't exercised in a few months (and my diet has gone to hell), it's been ages since I've stepped on the scale - I'm so afraid of what the number will be.
And I also weigh less in the mornings. Conveniently, that's also when I would weigh myself ;-)

Once a day. I'm doing Weight Watchers right now and need to fit in the dress so I'm especially nervous.
It's usually once every other week or less.

I can take the pain one step further.
I have the scale that measures your body fat. For this scale you are supposed to weigh at around 6 PM. You are lighter in the morning because you are dehydrated, but that would make the fat% measurement higher.
Since starting my weight loss challenge with DH and my best friend, I've weighed in once a week. I was doing twice a week there for awhile, but I'd forget which weight went with which contestant...and it was a giant PITA. So...only once a week now. It helps me keep track of my progress as I lose weight, and has been a motivator.
I'm with aMrsin09. I also have one that measures your body fat. So, I weigh in the morning for weight, then again later after I've had 32oz of water and wait an hour, to get a reading for body fat. The body fat part I probably only do a few times in the month though, because I forget. Oops!
Historically, I don't weigh myself. I don't care about the number. I care how I feel and how I fit into my clothes, which I can figure out sans scale.
Then when I got pregnant with Bean, my SIL bought me a scale for my birthday, with a note about measuring the baby or something, but it was in Danish and I was really confused. I put the scale in a closet and if I thought about it, I'd step on it, mostly because my GP got really irritated if I didn't know how much I weighed when I saw him.
Then that closet became Bean closet, and Bean got older. And now when she goes in her closet to pick out her clothes every day, she weighs herself because she loves numbers and wants to prove to me she can identify them when they show up on the scale. Then she makes me weigh myself so she can read off some more numbers.
So lately, daily. But not because I care. :P
