How often to you weigh yourself?

HoneyBadger302

I weigh in daily, and since getting introduced to Libra, have been using that. Before using the app, I was tracking my daily weigh ins and averaging the week - but the app just makes that method a lot easier LOL.

My weight flucuates a LOT day to day, so only an occasional weigh in (weekly or less frequent) can give pretty "false" readings in both directions. I much prefer the overall trend method.

I try to weigh myself weekly but I often crack and check the scale on the 5th day, not the 7th. But I don't weigh in if I had a very salty day the night before. I know me and if I see an up number it could start my day off in the wrong direction. I avoid that if I can.

I also weigh daily. I used to record every loss in MFP since re-joining I've started only recording my weight 1day a week.

I used to weigh myself every day, because I liked tracking the daily fluctuations.
Now they're too annoying, so I just weight once a week.
The scale moves more dramatically than the daily weight, and gives me something to look forward to.

4 times per day. 1st thing in the morning. (this is what i consider my real weight) right b4 my workout. right after my work out and sometime b4 bed.

I weigh myself every day and track in the Libra app. It actually stops me from obsessing. Seeing the fluctuations and the day to day reminds me that weight loss is not linear and a pound up is not always a pound of fat. I know what to expect at certain times of the month, I am learning what foods may cause me to bloat ect...Now that I am very close to my goal it's helpful for me to make sure that I am not under eating. I lost at an average of 2 pounds a week for most of my weight loss. I've slowed to .5 pound a week and as I approach maintenance I think weighing myself daily is beneficial for monitoring things.

Once per week when I'm good. 2-3x/wk when I'm micromanaging.

As the title says, how often do you weigh yourself?

I'm not planning on weighing myself more than once a month. I have a history/reality of EDNOS and I figure it's best not to become obsessed with the scales again and head down that route, so I'm sticking to less regular weigh ins and relying on the logic of 'If I burn more than I take in then I have to be losing weight' in between weigh ins.

Does anyone do a similar thing and it's working out for them?

I weigh about every other day. I start getting kind if lax when i dont weigh frequently. I need to see a good result from my efforts.

I weigh myself every single morning because I don't calorie count or use a food scale to track my food intake, and it's been working for me. Weighing myself every morning gives me a chance to see how what I eat the day before affects my weight.

Every morning. I used to do weekly, but daily is working great for motivation...

I weigh every day but I do this because I found, for me, that using a trend tracker helps me to not freak over fluctuations and obsess less

I weigh weekly, except if for some reason I don't get to the gym. I weigh at the same scale at the gym. I do not have a scale at home. Once a month would not be enough for me. I got fat in the first place when I stopped weighing myself.
