New poll: How often do you weigh yourself?
Thanks everybody for taking part in our latest poll. We had 21 participants, and it looks like more than 85% of us have been at this for a year or less. That’s great information to know.
Here’s our next poll: How often do you weigh yourself? Some people are obsessed with it, others just do it when it’s necessary, others not at all. I have some strong feelings about how your weighing frequency can help you stay motivated to lose weight, but I’ll save those comments until the end of our poll.

I’m afraid I need an “other” option. I try to curb my obsession enough not to weigh every single day, but I have to weigh at home more often than just my weekly weigh-in at WW. So for me, it’s three-ish times a week at home and once a week at my program site.

Hmmm…I didn’t think about the “other” option. Since nobody has voted yet, I’ll go in and fix it. Give me a few minutes and I’ll get it done.

My favorite scale obsession story came out when I was in the Prism Program. A lady in my group confessed that she weighed before she got in the shower, and afterwards; before she used the toilet, and afterwards; and she had to be naked each time (really!). The craziest place she ever did this was when she was invited over to her pastor’s house for dinner… she went into the bathroom, stripped, and then weighed before and after.
There can’t POSSIBLY be a more obsessive reader of FatBloggers… is there?

I weigh in weekly on Wednesday. Very rarely will I weigh in on the weekend. If I do it is because I feel like I am gaining so, that gives me a chance to get back in line before Wednesday.
