How often do you weigh?

I'm debating on whether I should weigh once a week or once in the morning. The once a day thing is getting very depressing because I don't see anything happening. What do you all do?

When I wake up, before I go to bed, before and after a poop, pretty much if I walk past the scale I get on it. lol

Three times a day when I'm losing, and once a week when I'm not!

Seriously, I use it as incentive and as a warning, so I can adjust what I'm eating if I don't see results.

If I walk by the scale I usually end up on it. I agree it gets to be depressing because I am not losing as fast as others, but I keep doing it anyway.

I'm on it every morning - mostly because I can't believe it isn't moving! lol . . . but I want to know if things move . . . in any direction. I sure don't want to start putting pounds back on!

Every day!! Sometimes again in the evening if I feel that I've been particularly good or bad :)

I have now started taking measurements so that I can see it changing when the scale doesn't. (one more thing to obsess over lol)

I feel horrid if I can't weigh myself - like on vacation. I have to know how I'm doing.

When I was first banded, I weighed several time a day. It became like an obsession. I had to stop that because it was getting too frustrating. I now fluctuate between weighing every morning and every other morning but no longer several times a day.

I weigh every morning after using the bathroom and prior to my shower so I can see how different foods affect me.

I admit I am obsessed. I weight many many times a day. I bought a new scale today and I could hardly wait till I got home to see what it said! I opened it in the car! It weighs me a bit higher than my old one, sad to say. So now I hate the new one. We aren't on good terms.

I voted for once a day...but it's more like when I "feel" like I've lost or I need an early morning smile!

I get out of bed, and weigh in the buff....don't want any extra...

Hi, I am a newbie--. I weigh 3 x per week and I do it about the same time every morning. I would be curious to see what others do--I may change to 1 x per week??

Do u ever get frustrated weighing every day if the scale doesn't show a weight loss?? That's my biggest worry, I don't want to set myself up for a guilt trip if I'm not losing everyday..

I suppose you can get frustrated by it. It makes me more motivated to do something to MAKE the number change the next day.
