How often do you weigh yourself?

jessie819

Just curious how often everyone weighs in...thanks!

Trying to decide if I should do it once a week, once a month, one every couple weeks, etc.

every day.......not suggested but an obsession

I weight myself once a week on Fridays and measure inches twice a month, 1st and 15th. I find it gives me a good picture without making me obsess over the scale!

I weigh everday, but I record once a week.

I would suggest once a week, early in the morning, before you eat, and completely nude.

once a week on a set day first thing in the morning after a good pee...

i dont suggest you weight yourself everyday... you will see small weight variations resulting in water retention among other things and it will just drive you mad...

good luck!

I also weigh myself every day. I usually only weigh in on this website every couple of weeks. But, I can't help myself, I must get on the scale every morning. I don't freak out if i go up a pound or two, I just stick with it and it goes back down. If you feel that seeing fluctuations will upset you, then don't weigh in so often.

I try to do it once a week first thing in the morning.
I've done the every day or every two days in the past and I find it becomes this compulsive obession that starts to wear on your mind if you dont see the constant results.

When I was losing weight I would weigh daily, so I learned what foods affected and what didn't, but now that I am at goal and staying there I weigh on Fridays. That way if I am bad over the weekend it is back to normal by Friday. I also measure every two weeks.

everyday cause of curiosity ... i record it every day too... i get about 2-5 lbs fluctuation

It is a proven fact that people who check the scale on a daily basis lose more weight. I on the other take that to a new level weighing myself several times a day. I like to weigh myself before going to the gym to see how I am doing on the day. I can usually tell within .4lbs what I will weigh in the morning based on what I ate the night before and what I weighed in at through the prvious day. It is very helpful but can be very discouraging during plateaus.

Once a week, same day a week at around the same time if possible.

I'm right there with you and then when some asks me how much I weigh I'm like hmmmm, I'm not exactly sure....as if...

legend1973

Somewhere in the range of 4 to 5 times a day..... OCD....

Natural

daily, but i weigh in once a week. i don't stress over the numbers on the scale, i just like to know....if i'm on course and anything i need to do different.

WalkingGirl1985

I do it like every other day, working on doing so once a week but I find that to be rather diffacult. I am making excellent progress and I feel like i lose a pound every time i step on. One day, when I'm strong enough I will probaly weigh in every other week, to once a month..sometimes these numbers can stress me if I have a bad eating day and it goes up a few pounds.

I had to reply to this. I weigh myself several times a day, my scale is broken so I find it amusing to see that after I've gone to the bathroom I can gain 10lbs. I do weigh in tuesday morning and sometimes saturdays too. My weight is slowly dropping, in the beginning I saw four inches off waist and hips, now nothing in the last 10lbs.

I weigh myself often but I only "weigh in" every Thursday

udallmom101

Once a month! I have decided I am not going to obsess over the scale. I would rather see the difference in the way my clothes are fitting.

themyriadthings

I also weigh myself every morning, and check in once a week. Like Natural said, it helps to keep me on course, so I eat well everyday rather than slack off after weigh-in day and then starve myself beforehand. Everyone's different though, this is just what works for me.

Roobean33

I weigh everyday, but officially take the number every friday. If you weigh everyday you will see quite a bit of flux - if this discourages you, don't do it! I use it as way to motivate myself...and just curious.

Same! It just helps keep me in check.

I stand on my crappy scale every Sunday morning and I do my measurements right after. I record it all as I go since I have my phone right next to me. Keeps me honest.

SandraMay1982

Every Monday morning. - Not naked *L*

I would suggest once a week, early in the morning, before you eat, and completely nude.

If you need a hand with that let me know :flowerforyou:


I weigh in once a week on Sunday after church before Breakfast

goal30Lori

I step on the scale a few times a day, but only update once a week. I like to see the fluctuations, I think it's interesting! I might be a little addicted to seeing the numbers, but not obsessed!

SyreetaJayne1

I weigh in once a week the same day (tuesdays) in the evening, and record my weight.

kyasarin381

My scale is in the bathroom so I weigh myself everytime i'm in there. It's a little obsessive, but I like to know what I weigh and it keeps me on track. I don't think about snacking if I know what I weigh throughout the day. It's a little reminder to do well.

jacknikon

I don't own a scale...try to weigh myself every other week when I get down to the gym. More than that seems obsessive, anyway. Go with how you feel not what you weigh.

OnionCookie

I used to weigh myself every week but I started losing inches when the scale didn't move and it was discouraging, so now I'm going for just once or twice a month. I haven't made up my mind yet.

I think it all depends on your mindset. If you are okay seeing a higher number due to fluctuations do it every day, if you get discouraged because of a number then every week, every other week, or once a month.
