This Week In The Polls

For anyone interested, the poll that I was running on how often you weigh yourself closed today. (Next time I do one I think I'll just set it up for three or four days instead of a whole week.) The results were totally different than what I had anticipated. No one voted for the 'never' or 'other' options, which I had pretty much expected. But the real surprise came in regards to how many of us check our weight on a daily basis. I had really thought that most people were only weighing in once a week, but apparently that isn't the case. For the remaining five options, twenty-two votes were cast with the following results:

1 vote for 'once a month' accounted for 4.5%
3 votes for 'once a week' accounted for 13.6%
1 vote for 'every two to three days' accounted for 4.5%
7 votes for 'once a day' accounted for 31.8%
10 votes for 'more than once a day' accounted for 45.5%
