How Often Do You Weigh Yourself?

Or do you just shove the scale into the corner and forget about it?

Don't own any scales - so only get weighed if I go to the nurse.

I weigh daily----scale is right by the shower, why not? I want my weight at 205 lbs. and if I am over, I eat less until back at 205 lbs.

I weigh myself daily, mostly on the weekends when I tend to lose weight from lots of work. If I go over a few pounds, I cut back on the sweets for a few days.

When I weigh in at the doctor's, however I'm going on Nutrisystem in a few weeks so I'll be weighing more often then.

What's a scale? :-3 Oh that thing I avoid at the doctor's office unless they WANT to treat me for depression too. :wah:

I don't weigh myself, if my clothes start to feel a little 'snug' I'll lay off the biscuits! :wah:

I rarely do, I just don't think about it.

Whenever I'm near a truck scale.

Maybe once very couple of years, it always seems to be about the same so I don't worry about it much.

I've never owned one... my mom had one that she got on everyday.. she used to put on these aluminum foil pants and tops and sit around having them sweat off a few pounds... Yikes!

Why would anyone do that to themselves?:-2

I've started exercising again and eating healthier now that I'm almost a year out having quit smoking... but weigh myself? If I can pull the pants on and bend over far enough to get the socks and shoes on...really don't care what I weigh..

You folks get up every morning and count gray hairs too?:sneaky:

When the seams of my jeans leave little indents on the insides of my thighs, I weigh in :wah:

meh maybe once a month for a laugh... bad beer bad bad bad.

I am the same Minks.

When the waist band tightens I get on the scales:wah:;)

Since I've gotten older, I've noticed I gain weight easier, and it's not easy to lose. I feel the best when I'm thin and my clothes fit well. I don't want to have any weight sneaking up on me. Although, to be honest, it's actually been a year since I weighed myself. Okay, I know, psycho person now, right? When I had a scale I did what Lon does, but I moved about a year and a half ago and never got around to buying myself a scale, so . . . I guess I don't really need to worry about it, huh? Good grief. I've said too much!

:wah: Labeled myself as verifiable or something now, haven't I?

No, no... not at all.... :yh_whistl

....erm...exactly how many folks participated in that answer?...:p:D

I've been counting grey hair since I was 25

now I just comb it all together - pretty or so pretty..

Honestly for years I never owned a scale since I was very active and had control on those tight jeans.

Now that I'm 50 - all my jeans were tight. Getting on a scale at the Dr's was scarey and the numbers were'nt good... 185, not good..

so I set my mind on trying - I had to change my habits - didn't want too

you know Potato Chips only taste good at Midnight... still do.:wah:

I can still put away a loaf of Hot Garlic Bread, before I'll have ice cream.

so there ya go

my down fall is bread - chips and CHOCOLATE

what's your weakness?

Mrs. K

I lost count of grey hair years ago also - I bleach/frost/streak

I do it all to cover the grey.

Now it's the mustache:wah:

I cut my hair - shave - and figure I've lost weight...

I Have no idea the last time I had Ice Cream..? I'll just cut my hair...frustrating cycle
