How often do you weigh yourself?

Every Friday. Done it for years. I think weighing every day would depress me as weight does vary day to day and when I weigh once a week and its gone up I have a week to try and sort it.

That seems sensible. Its such a fraught issue for some people. My mother pointed me in the direction of Weight Watchers when I was 18. A lifetime of obsessing over the number on the scales began.

Callistemon I think women are more inclined to put on weight around the middle after the menopause. Perhaps it’s the body’s effort to preserve some oestrogen which is synthesised in adipose tissue?

Yes, probably. Although it does coincide with taking a certain medication in my case.

Ps double whammy!

Never. No scales in the house. OH had an ED and if there are scales he gets obsessive.

Having lost 2 stones and kept it off for 12 years it works for me.

Me too!

I weigh every day.
I can lose weight quickly by moving the scales to a different place on the floor. …..that exercise is amazing!

A few inches sideways and a few ounces lost or gained 😊
I keep my scales in exactly the same spot, an inexact science but keeps me on track .

I was thoughtless enough to remark that I thought daily "weigh -ins" were a bit "obsessive" whereas my monthly weigh-ins clearly were not......

Just to let you know that Karma has come along and punched me right in the kisser and at the 1st July weigh in I HAVE PUT ON 2 Lbs.........
🤣🤣🤣

I am more than capable of putting on a pound a day so consider you have got away lightly Labradora.

When I remember, which I did last week, I’ve put on 3lb since February, cut out my afternoon baked crisps and replaced them with a banana.

My weight can vary by anything up to 4lbs from one day to the next. No idea why.

Hardly ever !

Every morning not obsessive at all I’ve lost 3 stone on very high dose steriods have been for years continuously, it’s something I do religiously as soon as I’ve had shower. I also walk quite a lot to keep fit.

Every morning.
