Okay, so I have always had an OCD with the scale, starting in highschool. I would always weigh myself every morning and every night before bed. I had it in my mind that by doing that, it would tell me if i ate too much, retaining water, whatever. I did this even when I did not have to diet. I just cannot seem to kick it. I am only on day 9 of Phen and still doing this. Every night, the scale is going down down down, but I know I need to stop looking, because there will be a stall and progress will slow down. I know this will leave me disappointed!

I am tempted to have my fiance hide the scale and only pull it out for me on my weekly weigh ins!

You're a slave to the scale, like MANY of us! If you really think it will help, do it! It seems like a psychological issue - and the best way to deal with that is to cut it off, only do your weekly weigh ins. I step on the scale almost every day, but it doesn't make me gauge how well I've eaten or how much water I'm retaining, that's a bad way to assess your habits! I would say weigh in only once a week.

I do that too

I weight myself when I wake up and go to bed..

Always ruins my morning or my night

I'm not even gonna sit here and lie to you.

I do the same thing. But see I dont let the number I see bother me. If its lower hooray thats great but if it is a little higher I just know that I need to work a little harder thats all. We all have our off days and all the scale does is show us that in a number.

But if you do feel it's absolutely necessary to weigh everyday just do it in the morning not at night. By the night time comes around your full of water, your body may be heavier from your muscles being swollen if you had been working out, and your stomach has food in it.

Just dont let it get to the point where the number you see on the scale controls you. It should be about how you FEEL and how you feel about the way you LOOK.

Yup! I'm a scale junkie also. It doesn't bother me though. Before I started to try to lose weight, I never weighed myself and now look at where I am. I feel like I won't lose control of my weight if I weigh myself often. I also asked my finace to hold on to the scale and don't give it until it was time to weigh in..........Big joke! I just made him give it back to me when I needed my fix!

I weigh every morning after I p, then I usually cuss at it and slide it back under the cabinet.

[nakato]

YES! I do, I only weigh myself 1 time a week and keep a log of it.

TAKE MEASUREMENTS!

Sometimes the lbs come off slow but take measurements of your chest, waist, hips, thighs, arms - they will prob shrink more than the weight if ur working out :
