Interesting thought. I don’t know which side I would be on; the one that uses it to keep from down sliding or the neurotic.

I should get on the scale once in a while though since I was utterly shocked at my last doc’s appointment. =(

Stopping by from SITS.

I always stay away from the scale when I know I am off track. Therefore, weighing myself everyday goes a long way towrds helping me make good decisions. Great post & I liked the vlog about 100 calorie snacks. You go, Girl!
Cheers from your SITSta!

First of all, I laughed when I saw that picture of the scale that says FAT.

Secondly, I totally agree. I weigh myself every morning right after I wake up, before I dress. Same time every day. It really helps to put things in perspective and if I go up a few pounds I just up my workout routine.

I totally agree. I find I’m more aware of what I’m putting in my face and exercise and all that if I weigh myself daily – or just about daily. I play a little mind game w/myself and “guess” at what it’ll be, based upon how I’m feeling that day – bloated cuz it’s pms time, or thinner because I’ve been good at exercising! Stupid I know, but I love it when I’m wrong and I weigh in lower than I was expecting! LOL Anyway – happy SURPRISE SITS day to you. Hope it’s been a great day.

Greedy Girl: I agree 100%. It slips away from you if you don’t do the daily jump on the scale exercise!!! Thanks for making us feel OKAY for doing it. xoxo

Interesting. I have not been weighing myself lately. Maybe I better check.

Thank you!! someone else agrees with me. You are so right. How else are you going to keep track of whether you’re gaining again. So many people lose weight and look great and they stop the scale check. Six months later they packed on the pounds again…. like you said those 5 pounds add up if it’s followed by 5 pounds the next month etc…. I think if those people were more in tune with their weight, they would have taken steps to stay on track when they saw the first little weight gain.

While I agree that if you are trying to maintain your weight then you should weigh yourself everyday, but if you are trying to lose then I think it’s best to weigh weekly. And this is totally personal I just know if I’m trying to lose and I gain, like an ounce, because I had sushi last night and am retaining water from all they soy sauce then I freak out and plunge into an entire day of carb loading and chocolate cramming to make myself feel better…

Oh wow, I didn’t mean to spew all that out on ya, sorry. I’m going to go collect myself now and check into food rehab.

Happy Sits!

I don’t even have a scale, if my clothes fit tight I know something is wrong. But we’re all different.

Hi, I came here from SITS and I am loving your blog!

I totally agree about weighing yourself every day. I also document my weight & body fat percentage weekly to keep myself more accountable.
