Does anyone else weigh themselves EVERY morning?

Yep. I don't think it's a big deal UNLESS you're one of those people who gets freaked out by fluctuations...if you are, then you should weigh less often to preserve your sanity0
-
i weigh myself every day because i like numbers0
-
I usually do once or twice a week purely because I'm way too damn sensitive about the scale. Although I KNOW that weight fluctuates, seeing a pound gain or something can put me in a crap mood the entire day.0
-
I do.0
-
No- maybe once a month or so.
I'm only losing half a pound a week, so why check everyday to see if I lost weight yet?0 -
Yup, I do! I only log my weight once a week, though.0
-
I do. I don't always log it, but I like to see the fluctuations. I often can tell when I've had too much sodium the day before because I'll be up in weight for a day or so afterwards. It works for me, and I don't feel like I'm obsessive with it.0
-
I do, and it drives me a little crazy, but it also helps keep me on track.0
-
I weigh every morning, too. I think for me it reminds me every morning to keep on going. When you have a lot to lose you need something to hold onto, something to bring it all in and that is weighing for me!

I can't help it!! Lol.
Can if u like.
But be careful. Fluctuations will drive u crazy
I would pick one day each week for weigh-in day.
Where u can recreate the same variables each weigh in
Like Monday morning
First thing
After bathroom
In underwear or naked.
No water0 -
Yes. I also only log when my weight goes down.0
-
I weigh in each morning first thing...WITHOUT FAIL!0
-
I weigh every day, the fluctuations are interesting. But I'm trying to ignore the fluctuations and focus on getting the body fat percentage down instead. But I don't log the weight on MFP unless it goes down.0
-
Every day, but Sunday. I ignore the people who say it's bad for you because I don't stress over little fluctuations.0
-
Yes Ive been doing it for years, even when I was not focused on weightless.:blushing:0
-
Yes, every morning.0
-
Every morning after I workout and right before I shower. The only day I don't do it faithfully is on Sunday b/c I'm normally in a rush to get to church.0
-
Usually do.0
-
I do and unfortunately, because my scale is synced with my account, it updates it every morning. Does anyone know if there is a setting you can change to only have it update once a week?0
-
Yes, absolutely. In fact, I end up weighing twice a day...once in the morning and once at night. If I didn't care what the scale said, I wouldn't be inputting my food with every bite. ;-)0
-
Once a week....Saturday mornings.0
-
i do every morning, always the same , right when i get out of bed . dont like to weigh at nite!! no way, if i do and its close to the morn weight that means the next morn it will be less. but i try to avoid the scale at nite. if i get away from my scale too long i tend to eat more and not care0
-
Yes, but only log once a week.0
-
you know whats sad about my scale, i had did a memory of when i was at 156 and i can touch that button and it reminds me that was one of my favorite weighs!0
-
I do every morning. Partially out of habit but it does help to learn more about how certain foods or too little water or travel...etc will make a difference. I don't get worried about the fluctuation day to day since it can go up or down a few pounds overnight but I like to see the number each morning regardless. Helps me stay accountable and grounds me a bit. I don't weigh myself when I'm traveling or on vacation if I'm away. I only record my weight once a week.0
-
It's addicting. I do it every morning and night. Ugh. Help! lol0
-
yes - every morning - and sometimes more than once !!! I don't freak out over it - but it's fun to watch - especially now that I'm tracking everything - I can see trends especially with sodium intake and water retention...
Also weigh myself at night too... also not freaking out but seriously blown away sometimes by the difference...
Like today - 7.5 lbs from this morning to after dinner... I think that is my all time most - but it can easily fluctuate 5 lbs from morning to night...
It will be strange in a couple of weeks when I'm on vacation and won't be able to weigh myself...

I weigh myself on the Aria wifi scale daily. I don't stress about the gains and losses, but just watch the trends. (I use trendweight.com which syncs with my MFP data.) Super interesting,
Hopefully I don't annoy my friends list too much on here since it auto syncs daily.0 -
Yes! I can't help it, either!0
-
Yes I do but I do not obsess about minor fluctuations, it helps me to stay accountable.0
