at home weigh ins

[Fidgit]

Does anyone weigh themselves at home like to keep themselves motivated? Or is that like a no no?
Hope everyone is doing well have having a great day! Woop woop and on we go....

i personally never weigh myself at home as your weight can change quite a lot in a week ,a lot of other people do though so its up to you hun xx

Well i will get shot by everybody for this hun but yeah i weigh myself a lot! Most people find this really off putting but i need the motivation personally. If you do weigh at home then i would start after an official WI and check the differnce in the scales! Mine were always 2lb different so i had to take that into consideration

But if youre the kind of person who will stress over a possible difference day to day then dont do it xxx

I agree with you Tracy..i do tend to weigh myself at home quite a bit even though i was told i shouldn't!

I usually only do it when i'm having a bit of a wobbly moment or am starving...get on the scales and see if i've lost anything..even 1/4lb..gives me the motivation to snap out of it and focus again!x

I was also a serial scale hopper...my scales were out 5lbs!!!! So i ended up giving them to my sis ...but, i do still weigh my self everytime i go round ...oh and before i go for an offical WI i use them just to see xxx

Yep I'm another home weigher, have weighed myself every morning since the day I started and still do now. I think as Tracy said, if it doesn't affect your mood it's okay but if it brings you down stay away from them!

Guilty!!!! I'm also addicted to jumping on the scales each time I see them. Very addictive. Naughty me he he

Yep im guilty of weighing myself - however I no my scales is way way off - I accidentely fiddled with it. So I only use it to make sure my weight is going down - but i never no by how much.

I actually gave out to a guy in work today he started LT on Tuesday and he weighed himself yesterday and it said he lost 8 pound but what if he goes intommorrow and has only lost 5 - then he will feel demotivated

I'm guilty to. Problem is, it does affect my moods. If I've not lost and I think I should have then I'm down. If you are not in the habit of doing it, then stick with the weekly weigh in. It becomes addictive. I told my hubby to hide the scales...this is how sad I am, I found out where he hid them (he's rubbish) and weighed myself and put them back before he noticed. He personally didn't give a crap, so I don't know why I bothered!!

Yea i hold my hands up too, I jump on the scales every morning before my first drop of liquid, but if it keeps me motiveted seeing a lb off every morning then I'm not going to stop.

lol I weight myself too. I didn't at all in the first week as I wanted to be surprised by the end of the week. But recently have been weighing myself every now and then I hate my scales tho, they aren't digital and I swear they say different things if you get off and on, then off and on. Have ditched them and bought new digital ones.

But I do like not doing it and waiting for the weigh in at the end of the week, its kind of like a nice surprise (if its good - or any kind of loss that is
