When to weigh-in? Suggestions please!

emilybrittain

Hello All,

I'm just wondering how often I shoud weigh myself - everyday? Every week? Every two weeks? Do timings make a difference - i.e. morning/evening?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what works best for them?

Thanks!

Hi, I weigh myself every Friday morning because I am aiming to lose 1-2 pounds a week.

I only do an official weigh in once a week. If you do every day, you're going to drive yourself nuts over the scale. What day you do it on is up to you, just make it the same day every week. Morning is definitely better than evening, because later in the day your weight is more likely to be skewed based on what you ate/drank that day.

So one a week, mornings, whichever day works for you.

i weigh once a week, first thing in the morning. I really drive myself nuts if i weigh daily; weigh can fluctuate with water retention so it can go up and down through a week.

I weigh in once a week. I have choosen Monday mornings to keep me honest over the weekend.

It depends how likely you are to be upset by fluctuating numbers, i weigh every couple of days first thing in the morning after my first pee of the day but I only record Sunday morning weigh ins. My weight fluctuates quite a bit and its interesting to see the differences.

If you are going to be stressed by numbers go for once a week first thing in the morning.

I weigh myself "officially" on Thursdays when I wake. I work a week of days and a week of nights, so when I wake on Thursdays I jump on the scale (hope not to break it! :laugh: ) after a pee and before coffee. I chose that day because I would be more neurotic than I normally am if I weighed myself daily. And because on the weekends if I have had anything that will show up on the scale it will be out of my system. I also weigh in on Mondays just to have a "look-see". But only record on Thursdays.

I'm finding myself weighing every morning, need to stop really. I initially planned to weigh every saturday morning and do BF etc.

I need more self control on the scales.

Thank you all for the suggestions! Think I need to find a day and stick to it and not every day!

My heaviest day tends to be Monday's so I choose Monday morning as my weigh in day.
