I used to weigh myself twice a week and thought that was reasonable but I'm starting to change my mind. I almost want to weight in once every 2 weeks or something. I need to stop focusing so much on my weight and more about just being healthy and enjoying exercising. ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
So, how often do you weigh yourself?

I agree, I stopped focusing on the scale and celebrated all changes, like lose clothes and increase in energy. I weigh once a week on Sunday!0

I weigh myself once a week in the morning after I wake up. Best time to weigh your self.0

i weight myself about every ten days. I used to do it once a week when I was doing weight watchers, but for me, I found the weight was more reliable every ten days.
Plus I agree, sometimes i would get so worried about the weight loss, emotional "ups and downs" with loss or gain, instead of the change to a healthy lifestyle. I found the every ten days was a nice balance for me to keep tabs on weight loss but also taking into account the bigger picture of a more healthy lifestyle.0 -
My routine is to get up...go pee...weigh...record it on paper calendar....go for an hour walk. On my "Brisk" Walk I plan my meals.
I tried to weigh once a week but six days off the scales is to many days for me to get off track.
Best of luck to you.0 -
Once a week. Saturday is my weigh-in/measurement day. Weight fluctuates too much day to day. I think weekly gives me a better idea of what I've lost (or gained).0

I've been weighing myself everyday, and I need to stop... it's very discouraging. I want to see the pounds fly off with all the hard work and effort I've been putting in
I guess once a week is going to be my new tactic.

For em doing a daily weigh in works best for me. Sometimes the scale may not move for a week or two, and if I see other improvements then idon't worry about it bt if I see no improvement and no change in the scale it lets me know I need to start re-evaluating my plan and making changes.0

Once a week. every Wednesday morning. right when i wake up. after I pee.lol0
-
once a week always at the same time of day.0

Weekly, on Monday mornings. Keeps me honest through the weekend. Sort of. :ohwell:0
-
I do it once a week - every Tuesday. It gives me something to focus on and gives me the encouragement I need when I see a loss. I think if I waited longer than that I wouldnt be as good as I am. This way I know I have 7 days to work really hard. I hear that some people weigh in every day but I feel thats a bit obsessive because your weight can change daily depending on time of the day , your cycle etc.
Once a week is a good amount of time I feel x0 -
Once a week, first thing as soon as I wake up on a Sunday morning.0
-
Every 2 weeks on sunday mornings is when I weigh. I like the anticipation of whether I made a good loss or not!0
-
Once a week on sunday morning. It's hard not to focus on the weight I lost or gained back. I exercise a lot and can't tell if I'm gaining weight back from exercising or if something else is going on. I heard somewhere that you gain gain weight from your muscles when you exercise. Does anyone know if that's true?0

I check it about everyday outta habit but I only record my weight once a week on monday mornings as soon as I get up and pee0

I try to wiegh myself twice a week on Monday and Thursdays ... the Monday weigh in keeps me honest over the weekend and the Thursday weigh in helps make sure that I have not got off target while at work. When I am home my wife makes sure I do not stray towards the cookie jar!0
-
Every two weeks, first thing in the morning after going to the restroom. As for me, I like every two weeks better, since the larger number of lbs lost keeps me motivated!0
-
I weigh myself once a month...the day after my TOM ends...I don't have a digital scale so I can't see the .08lbs I've lost...it's all or nothing for me. Last month was only 3 lbs so I was off by 1lbs. the month before was 5 lbs lost. I just find the bigger number to be more reassuring.0
-
I weigh myself once a week at the same time and wearing the same thing. I also take my measurements approximately every two weeks.0
-
I weigh myself every day. I just need to see what is going on every day. I only chart the losses, though0
