I'm serial in that I weigh myself more than once a week, but I don't obsess about it, I just want to know that the point I'm fluctuating around is actually lowering! For example, Last week I stayed the same, the following morning (just to test which way it could have gone!) I'd lost 2.5lbs. So frustrating, but at least its not going higher!
Is anyone else a SERIAL weigher?

My scales reflect class scales,so I now only jump on on weigh in day,then I wont be too disapointed if its a gain.

I used to get on every morning, now I don't, only on weigh in day unless its a doctors visit day then i will weigh myself before going so i know what i am. I get all disappointed when I see a gain in the week so i stopped doing it. I have to weigh myself in the same pajamas all the time though, if i wear my other pair i might weigh different!

Hahaha, I'm a jammies weigher too, I figure baggy jeans weigh plenty, so better to avoid the potential horror

I weigh just before I go to weigh in on a Monday night, keep forgetting to write down what the difference is but it gives me a good idea of what to expect!

Here's a good app for those with iPads and probably iPhones too. Its called weight monitor by essence computing and cost 69p. I put it on the other day and can now enter my weight every day. It shows a monthly graph with a line for target and a trend line. Even on days where you've gone up slightly the trend line shows the actual trend whether up or down.
Oh dear, I am truly addicted to weighing

I'm always weighing and even though I know it's fluctuation it really does effect me mood, confidence and how I feel about myself. I still keep doing it tho, and panic if I'm not near scales!!
I even went into asda once and took a set of scales and weighed myself in the middle of the shop (without buying the scales)..

Good afternoon everyone. My name's Rachel and I'm a serial weigher.
I tend to weigh every morning with PJs, and then without. And sometimes in the evening too - around 7pm as that's my weigh in time. I know that my scales are roughly 1.5 pounds above the official SW ones.
Like Erm said, I find weighing every day keeps me on the straight and narrow. I've only had 1 gain so far and that was for 1lb so it's obviously working!! If my weight is low then it gives me a boost and I carry on, if it's higher then I think about what I can do to get it back lower again. If I've had a STS or gain at group then I'll weigh the next night to check if it was water rentention. Quite often it is and again this helps motivate me! I only ever take the group weigh in as "official" though.
