How often do you weigh yourself?

Accidentally posted the thread without writing my story?

I weigh myself each day when I wake up.

Between 68 kg at my lightest to 72 kg at my heaviest.

My windsurfing harness has no adjustment as I modified it.

I can only get it 'on' if I'm under 71kg!

Every morning when I wake up. Currently 181 lbs, trying to stay between 178 - 182. Play tennis 5 or 6 times a week, singles and doubles. 52 years old.

I weigh myself when i wake up each day. Here's my story:

I wake up. Go to the bathroom. After, then I step on the scale. Fin.

Weighing yourself daily helps to keep you conscious of not eating too much junk food.

I asked for a 100g slice of Dutch Edam cheese from the deli at Coles and she cut a 190g piece instead.

After I ate it in my car with some tomatoes and bread I felt a bit guilty.

Later that night I weighed myself and sure enough it showed!

Playing tennis above 70kg - I can feel I'm a touch slower.

I eat like a monk,with a low body fat,just can't get rid of a tiny gut.

I brush my teeth twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening before bed. I try not to skip a day, and I floss almost every day.

I understand your concerns. It can be very easy to gain weight, so you must be very vigilant about it. I'm normal bmi, so i don't understand how people let themselves go. And i mean how do you one day become normal weight, then go to being obese. I watch my weight, watch what i eat, stay active, etc. so i never had that problem. For me, i usually have the opposite problem, and i need to make sure i don't go underweight, so i eat more usually. But yes, i do still need to monitor my weight to achieve this.

How often do you weigh yourself

After every meal. If I'm too heavy (like say I eat 90g too much Dutch Edam) I force myself to throw up. GREAT way to control your weight.

If I'm 90g heavier than I should be, I can really feel it on the tennis court.

I rarely weigh myself.

Walking around the supermarkets looking at the masses trolleys - its easy to see how your average person has ballooned in weight!

Soft drinks,sweets,various processed foods - white bread,white noodles.white spaghetti,white rice,tinned food,cakes.

Basically,nearly everything on sale at supermarkets is unhealthy with a few exceptions.

We need to get back to nature. Buy food organically grown if possible.

Buy food in its basic form - not processed.

You can buy a few dozen or more apples for the price of a Big Mac,fries and coke!

Think about that for a minute....

.....and then die of protein deficiency. Perhaps you could suggest something comparable in price and protein content

What I'm wondering is, if a Big Mac meal costs $8, where are you buying apples that cost $8 for "a few dozen or more".

Seriously, let me know. I just bought 2 Granny Smith apples over lunch for ~$1/each on sale.

“Carbs aren’t the enemy,” says Julie Jones, a professor emeritus of food and nutrition at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minn. who is also a scientific advisor for the Grain Foods Foundation, a baking and milling industry funded group which promotes grain-based food as part of a healthy diet. “Overconsumption, of anything, is the enemy.”

I've been eating white carbs everyday of my life and never had a problem. Bread, noodles, rice, etc. I can easily slurp down a double portion of spaghetti.

There's a thread on this already, so best to check it out. It's more a diet thread and not a "did ya step on da scale" type-o-thread.

There are a lot of healthier, TASTIER, and cheaper alternatives. But most are prejudiced, over-exaggerate their fondness if you take their burger away from them.

In the US, protein deficiency is a real worry. I think more people die from this than heart disease if I remember my facts* correctly.

A need to promote bacon consumption then, better than burgers .

I usually estimate my weight by eye-checking in the mirror every morning.
