weigh yourself!!!

Options
Hi, I would like to know how often and what time during the day do you weigh yourself? I weigh myself every time I go to the gym (5-6 times a week). I just can't help! :p

    I will not check bazillion of threads just to get a simple answer. If you don't like it, don't answer. ;)

    I weigh myself daily first thing in the morning. Have noticed, however, that I get a lower reading when I weigh myself in the early evening before dinner. Thinking maybe I'm retaining water in the morning (I crave it at night like nobody's business) so that might be why I'm a bit heavier in the morning. Either way, pick a regular time and stick with it. Take averages too, as daily weigh-ins fluctuate a lot!

    I weigh daily: in the morning, post workout, and no clothes. I don't see a problem with weighing daily as long as you can handle the fact that weight loss is not linear. If you're doing things right, the trend will be down.

    The answer you seek has been given a bazillion times before. Just look for these threads and you will have all the reading material you want rather than waiting on responses to your standard thread.

    How does it harm you if she asks a question that has been answered before? Why attack her for that?

    In the morning after I go to the restroom, every day. I log my weight and monitor what it's doing.

    I don't know you, but I'm getting real sick of your negativity on different posts. If people want to ask questions, then they have the right to do so without some lame half response not even referring to the question. Take your opinions elsewhere please and thank you. :)

    Usually I weigh myself once a week so I don't get discouraged. That way I'm sure to see results, most weeks anyway.

    Good lord, some people are so sensitive.

    @steponebyone and everyone else who's getting offended by someone saying to look for the million other threads. Some places have rules in place that you have to make sure something hasn't been posted or asked recently before posting. It clogs up the content for other legitimate, unasked questions and conversations.

    Understood. I'm not usually one to comment, but after several of these comments on various posts from this person, I just felt the need to say something. All good though here!

    Once a week, first thing in the morning after bathroom and before anything goes down my throat. I don't see the point in weighing every day because there are too many fluctuations.

    This place has rules that say that MFP "explicitly allow members to post questions that have been asked previously by other members".


    9. Do Not Post the Same Topic on Multiple Boards or Groups

    Please choose the most appropriate board or group for your post and post it once. Posting the same message to multiple boards or multiple groups is a form of spam. Please note that this is NOT a guideline against inadvertently posting a question another member has asked before. We explicitly allow members to post questions that have been asked previously by other members. If you see a member post a topic that you think has been asked before by another member, please respond politely or simply move on. However, the same member cannot ask the same question or post the same topic more than once.


    @OP I weigh myself every day, but use a graph to see the trends (so that the little, natural blips don't concern me!)

    Since you're weighing yourself often you should log your weight using trendweight or an app like Libra. It averages out the weight over time, this can be helpful with understanding fluctuations. Unfortunately MFP's weight reports don't include this feature.
