Top often..I need to just put the scale in my car at this point0
-
I'm seriously thinking about handing my scale to by husband and making him hide it from me, and only give it back once a week. Im weighing every morning and evening. It's making me cray. Lol0
-
About once a week. I don't want to do it every day because your weight will fluctuate a lot day to day, and I'm just interested in the downward trend.0
-
Every day - first thing in the morning - I only record new lows and ignore slight fluctuations up. I also measure my waist once a month and get a real boast out of seeing another inch disappear. I find it very rewarding to see any new low. Everyone's different so you must find what works for you.0
-
Daily, same time, place, bat channel.0
-
Now I'm on maintenance, I haven't weighed in a couple of weeks! Ordinarily, it'd be weekly! Must get back in the habit!0

Daily
and it links to trendweight which gives me a great trendline so that I don't care about fluctuations (via my fitbit account but you don't need an actual fitbit)
for example today I am 3+ lbs up on 3 days ago .. if I didn't know better I'd panic but I know it's water weight because of sodium and a killer leg day
so meh

Daily. Same time and place. I don't go crazy about slight ups and understand the scale doesn't go down daily in a straight line. I am just interested in seeing how my body weight fluctuates. If those fluctuations will have you worrying and obsessing then do it weekly or less.0
-
Daily as well. It allows me to better understand just how non-linear weight loss is. And to know how the things you eat and activities you do cause some of those changes.0
-
i have to physically stop myself weighing every day - because im not the person that can handle the fluctuations0
-
I do it every morning0
-
I do daily. It has helped me learn my natural and not so natural fluctuations.0
-
I was weighing every 2nd day but will now be changing to weekly or 2 day weekly weigh-ins0
-
Every morning and as much as I hate to admit it, sometimes in the evenings. I guess I'm one of those obsessed people!0
-
2 - 3 times a week, just to check I'm staying in and around same weight. its easy to get hung up on scale numbers, some find them helpful to know what makes scale swing up/down, others can't handle it.0
-
2 to 3 times a week, sometimes daily for a stretch. I skip the week of my period as I just end up panicking for no reason. I never go more than ten days without weighing.0
-
2x in the morning, when I get home from work and usually before bed. But I'm crazy so what can I say.0
-
Every morning for the past 3 months with the exception of travel (2 weeks out of those 3 months).0
-
I weigh every day, but like others, I pay most attention to the trend line on TrendWeight.

Ditto. I like to watch the trend.0 -

Every morning, but I officially log (on MFP) Friday mornings. If I've eaten a lot of carbs or sodium or done a lot of exercise I won't way for a couple of days because I find the increase too upsetting.0
-
I weigh my food every meal. Myself not so often.0
-
Once a week ideally0
-
Every morning.0
