How often does everyone weigh themselves?

Every morning

Some people can't handle every day due to the constant fluctuations. What's more important is that you're consistent in when you do it (generally first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom and before eating/drinking, wearing the same amount of clothes).

Definitely this. I tried doing it every day but it was soul crushing to see it say I gained 2 lbs or something after a workout day. So I do it weekly, usually every Monday in the morning. Keeps me sane not having to freak out about it on a daily basis. Lol.

I weigh 2 sometimes 3 times per week. I miss most of the fluctuations but don't build anxiety after waiting a week to weigh.

This.

Another daily weigher here. I log every day's weight into the Happy Scales app to get my overall trend, and I log losses into MFP. I find the fluctuations entertaining, if not mildly baffling sometimes. :-)

Every Friday morning. Doing so every day would drive me insane.

I weigh everyday and I normally stay the same until the Saturday when it tells me I've lost. Honestly don't get it lol. Pigged out yesterday on a Xmas lunch and lost weight this morning so the scales say.

I weigh weekly now, but I used to weigh every day. It was a struggle for me to give that up, but for me it was part of a constellation of obsessive food and dieting behaviors that I needed to let go of. I don't need to know what I weigh every day. All I need to focus on is maintaining my food plan and calorie goals and the weight will come down accordingly, in its own good time.

Yep, me too.

I weigh daily and log in Happy Scale, which evens out the fluctuations and gives me projections.

I log my weight in MFP once a week, when I remember. These have always been losses, since April.

I've been doing that for at least 4 months. I used to weigh weekly, but I got too nervous and worried about it.

I weigh every morning, my FitBit Aria scale syncs it automatically to my account, and I check trendweight.com every now and then to see the general line.

I'm in maintenance. I weigh about every week or two.

callsitlikeiseeit

i used to do daily. then i did weekly now i do monthly.

I'll be weighing myself weekly on a Friday morning. I know that weight can fluctuate daily and I wouldn't want to be disappointed by seeing a loss, no matter how slight.

I weigh myself daily, but due to fluctuations the only one I pay attention to and record is Saturday morning before breakfast and coffee.

Whenever I feel like it - always first thing in the morning, right before I hop in the shower. But not every day - maybe every 2-3 days. My weight will fluctuate a lot, so weighing every day for me wouldn't be productive I don't think.

Daily weighing helps me understand the fluctuations. As long as the trend is downward, I'm happy.

Every once in a while but I'd rather take pictures

I tend to weigh myself when I get up and then before I go to bed at night. However I will only record my weight on Sundays.

I weigh daily because my weight fluctuates a lot. When you have a "noisy" signal, you can extract a more reliable trend by having more data points, even if each data point is unreliable on its own.

First thing every morning for me.

I used to weigh myself once a week, but the changes were so slow they were a bit discouraging. Now, I only weigh myself every two - three weeks, and every single time, SUCCESS.

magtart

Once a day when I get up.

shadows2424

I see a nutritionist every two weeks. I get weighed then but on occasion if ive eaten too much for a couple days or so ill jump on to see what the damage is.

steuartcj

Daily, same time after toilet and shower routine. Record 1-2 times per week. Do it the way you are most satisfied doing it.

pineygirl

Everyday lately. I'm a scientist so I love having the data to analyze. I fluctuate a little but there is a clear downward trend.

ekruska802

Never. I don't own a scale. I get fixated on the number being the representation of what I am or should be, and am always disappointed with what the number is. I have never looked at the scale and thought, "hm, I'm glad I know that."

ThisMagicMoment

Daily because I like the data. I usually enter my numbers into both Weight Grapher and the Hacker's Diet, but somebody on this thread mentioned Trend Weight, so I signed up for that and like it better. Thanks for mentioning it.

I' maintaining now but whilst I was losing, I found weekly weigh-in's sufficient.
Personally, I found the inevitable daily fluctuations hard to handle despite logically knowing that they were totally normal. If you weigh daily, expect the ups and down's and record your data on a trend app. Otherwise, stick to weekly!

KareninLux

Daily. Getting to love the fluctations and learning not to freak out!
I have a very good scale - TANITA - also gives body fat%

I weigh every day. Weighing once a week was stressing me out. Daily weighing keeps me focused on my goals for the day.
