I am interested in what others do about weighing themselves, especially if you are trying to lose weight. There is the Bob Greene theory of weighing only once each week, there are some who weigh every day. I don't want to be crazy, but I feel if i weigh only once a week, I mess up and gain a pound or so. anyone?
I weigh myself once a week-however I am not trying to lose weight-just to make sure I maintain my current weight. If I see the scale go up I know I need to run more, eat less or both
If I were trying to lose weight, I would do the same. To weigh myself everyday would drive me nuts because weight can fluctuate day to day. Just MHO.
if your trying to lose weight, id stay away from the scale for a week or two and continue to work out/eat right. Especially if one has just started a regimen..it takes the body a while to adjust to the new lifestyle. I might even go for a month. the first thing you notice when you lose is other people will notice before you do.
It would be interesting to know how often people weigh themselves versus how close they are to their ideal weight? I weigh myself everyday and am thin (5'9"- 139 lbs). I obsess about weight somewhat to stay thin. That's why I weigh everyday. Anyone else?

I run about 40 miles a week and lift and do yoga and am in what I believe to be very good shape- 5'8 and around 135-140 and I only weigh myself once a week. I do not obsess about my weight- I run, eat right and use my weekly weigh ins and how I look to keep me honest. For years I weighed 117 and obsessed about it and looking back I was too skinny. Then I gained some weight. Then I lost it and for me I think I look and feel the best around 135-140.
