Every day? Every week?
I feel like I'll get anxious waiting a whole week. I'm an impatient person

    I only weigh once a week. Usually on Friday. I cannot obsess over pounds or I will go nuts!

    I weigh in every day. I like to have more information on my graph. I track the ups as well as the downs. It helps me to get a better picture of how I react to certain foods or that TOM. I only share on my newsfeed when I am at a new low.

    I weigh in every day and use a trend weight app to watch the flucuations.

    I weigh and log it everyday (but I use my own calorie calculations outside of MFP so it is not constantly adjusting my calories).

    Every morning as soon I wake up. Helps me stay focused on the goal.

    I casually weigh myself in the morning (not at a consistent time, scenario, etc.). But I'm doing official weight, measurements, and progress photos Saturday mornings post-workout, pre-breakfast.

    Every day.

    I have been weighing myself every day since I was ... I don't remember exactly ... maybe 17 years old. That's for 30+ years now ... with a few short-term exceptions, like when I'm travelling.

    I weigh myself on weekdays. On weekends I'm not home... or I would :)

    What app do you use? I would like to give it a try.
    Thanks.

    I've tried a couple but I prefer Happy Scale. It even gives you the possibility to break down your goal weight to smaller milestones and it really keeps me motivated. :smile:

    Daily. I helps me stay focused and it helps me see when a plateau has started. After about a week at the same weight I can start my game plan instead of waiting three or four weeks.

    ^^ Same. I used to weigh weekly, but I started to find a weekly "weigh in" was too much pressure, but I'd heard weighing yourself daily can become obsessive so I didn't ever do this. Then I joined MFP, read the boards and realised so many people weigh daily, and now I do too. It's not for everyone, but I've found I actually worry less about the numbers than I did when I weighed weekly. Seeing an increase means I can see what's going on and notice trends and react earlier than I would with a weekly weigh.

    I'd also recommend Happy Scale. I love that you can choose your little milestones and take the focus off the big one (especially if like me, the end milestone is pretty huge! lol!)

    Every Sunday, either at midnight because that's technically, when a new day/week begins or as soon as I, go to the bathroom; after I awaken. If I was asleep, during that time!

    Every Saturday morning, right before I get in the shower. The only time I'll switch it up is if I'm going away then I'll usually weigh in the morning before I leave.

    Daily, in the morning, before I eat. It takes all of a minute. And knowledge is power.

    Usually once a week, in the morning before I step into the shower. I used to weigh myself daily, but it started getting obsessive for me--I would freak out over the slightest gain even though I know sometimes it's hormonal or whatever. So now, once a week works for me. I take my measurements every time I go down 10 pounds.

    I weigh weekly.

    Some weigh every day to track trends and whatnot but for me, that's a bit much. I'm not too fussed about trends and patterns, I just like to know I'm staying on track and remaining healthy. Other's swear by daily weighing. It is personal preference :)

    Every day. First thing. I'll use the toilet, rinse my face off with water to help wake me up and then I step on the scale. I have a wifi scale, so it directly syncs it to MFP.

    It's nice to be able to see the changes, did the weight go up b/c I didn't drink enough water? ate something with a high amount of sodium? am I ovulating? is it my TOM? are my muscles retaining water b/c I did a new workout? or did I get out of control with my eating enough to warrant a gain? Normally, it's always something to do with retaining water and not actual pounds. Weighing daily is what helped me realize that I "gain" during ovulation. I never realized that until I started daily weigh-ins.

    I notice I have a slight gain during ovulation as well. I find it funny that I now have more pms sign during ovulation than TOM. I am trying to figure out if for me it's due to age, almost 40, or weight loss.

    Every day. I enjoy it. I only log what I weigh on Tuesdays. I also measure weekly (or when I feel like it) and log it once a month. I like to look at the numbers lol.
