Does Anyone Else Weigh themselves Every Morning??

Yes I to weigh myself every morning after the bathroom.. it really helps keep me in check to make sure I get my butt in gear..

yep, i do and like many people posted it keeps me on track. i don't get upset or too happy what the scale says. if i am up i try to remember what i had eaten the day before and if i swayed off on my meal planning. i officially log in once a week, usually on wednesdays. if you tend to get to hard on yourself over the number i would not weigh in everyday.

I normally weight myself on Mondays and Fridays. Right now my scale is broken though...so I'm getting one tomorrow. Its been a while since I've had an accurate weigh-in..

I weigh once every two weeks. I like the suspense! (And hate any disappointments). My weight fluctuates too much from day to day, so it works better for me to weigh less often.

The important thing is to be consistent. I only weigh myself in the mornings, straight out of the shower, after drying my hair, and before breakfast. That's the best way to make sure I'm only weighing me, and not clothes and breakfast.

Every day. Glad to know there are so many others who also weigh every single day. I have always read not to but I cant seem to help myself. I also feel it helps keep me motivated. I only count Friday weigh ins. I never let myself post or tell anyone how much I lost until "weigh in day" and that can be super hard especially if Im excited about it.

I used to but I don't anymore. When I was weighing myself everyday I was also (unknowingly) in starvation mode so I wasn't losing weight. If my Wii Fit showed that I had gained weight, even .2 pounds, it would put me in a really bad mood and would ruin my whole day. Now that I'm eating enough food and going to the gym 5 days a week I'm tempted to weigh every day, but I don't want to obsess. I weigh myself, and my kids, every 3-4 days or so, sometimes just once a week.

Yes, I weigh myself every morning. If i gain I run to the mirror. If my upper eye lids are all puffy I know it is just water retention! If not I know I need to be more careful about what I eat!

I have the scale practically tied to my feet everyday! These days it is my closest friends and we have a mutual love/hate relationship. Me and my scale are going places! lol

I wouldn't worry to much as long as it isn't becoming a severe obsession. For me it is a reminder everyday to keep on going. If it is bad then it is a challenge to keep me motivated and when it is good then it is a reward for my constant motivation.

I weigh every day also multiple times a day in fact. But it helps keep me on track and when I see I've dropped some it keeps me motivated! Keep up the good work and you'll see progress!

I think it depends on the kind of person you are. As long as a gain or no loss does not discourage you (there are many valid reasons to go up or stay the same from day to day without having made mistakes) then I think it is a great way to stay motivated and on track. I weigh myself every day and interpret gains or no loss days as evidence that I am losing slowly but surely which is the healthiest way to lose weight and keep it off.

I am going to continue to do it this way when I hit my maintenance stage as I don't believe there is a better way to be sure that you are maintaining the same habits and the same weight (that you worked so hard to reach in the first place!!!). I'm also going to continue to use my online food journal.

I say as long as you have the right attitude about it (and don't get obsessed or discouraged by the numbers) then go for it!!!

I weigh in every morning. Sometimes at night. It has helped me establish a baseline. And it helps to know how I am doing from day to day.

I'm glad I'm not the only daily-weigher, I don't feel like such a freak now!!

I weigh myself every mornnig when I get up, before my shower and I log my weight every day too. That way I can see how my weight fluctuates over time e.g TOM, not enough water etc and in conjunction with my food diary it helps me see what foods affect it.

I weigh myself every morning...if you do I suggest keep repeating or posting a post it note on the wall in front of the scale that says "weight loss is not linear" Helps keep things in perspective :happy:
