Weighing yourself

jpeterburs88

Friday morning after the bathroom, before breakfast and naked! :embarassed:

this... except every day. lol.. i am the same way, if i don't do it every day i think about it too much- and then i get unfocused. some people may disagree but i'm not telling them to do it... i think it depends on you. personal choice.

I am fanatical..I weigh myself I every time I use the washroom at home. I dont rely on that, I "count" my weight once a week, pick a day and weigh in the same time that day every week and THAT is what I record.

I weight every morning after bathroom and before breakfast. I only post what I weigh once a week. I like seeing what I'm doing each day.

Weighing everyday really screws me up the numbers go up and
down so much! I try to weigh Wed mornings when i wake up
(after bathroom) I do check more than i should during the week but
I only count Wed mornings

Never. I weighed myself when I started to determine calorie level but I don't check up on myself. I know when I lose weight because I can see it and feel it in the fit of my clothes. I think a lot of people put waaaaay to much value into that number on the scale (ie. I weighed 150 yesterday but 153 today! How could I gain three lbs??). Numbers don't matter! How you feel and look matters!

I know i should weigh my self everyday as it is not good. You can go up or down a pound in day but really only the weekly weight should count. I have chosen every friday morning after pee break and in my undies...hope this helps!

I weigh everyday in the morning but log it once a week... I have to see what works or not for meals so I can limit myself....

Exact same here! I weigh every day to keep myself focused. I've learned not to let a couple-pound difference from day to day bring me down...just as long as I don't gain a couple pounds every day!!

this is how i am too

I say do whatever works for you.

I couldn't agree more. Personally, I can't weigh in very often because the fluctuations are too unmotivating. I have learned to focus on my health, and not so much the number on the scale.

It depends on how I feel, sometimes it's everyday, then sometimes I'll skip a day. Ever since we got our new scale (the one with the body fat/muscle percentage), I've been tracking that data too, BUT one thing it's taught me: the scale moves up and down! I can be a pound down one day, then 1/2 to a 1 pound up the next. It's super weird! The once everyday, DOES keep me in check though! At the same time, I know I can get obsessive about it, so I take a day off here and there.

i only weigh in once a month on the 15th in the morning naked bec daily fluctations drive me insane also the scale is not the only way to measure success , i leave the scale alone and focuse on my lifestyle and excercise those two things i can control.

I weigh every morning after I get out of the shower. I think that this helps me stay focused on the ultimate goal. However, I do not "count" my weight until Wednesday morning (that is the day I started this journey).

I weigh myself each morning in my birthday suit... after I potty, just before I step into the shower! That way I can go back and see how my day to day eating is making the scale move!

Same here!

I weigh on Monday, before breakfast. I also take measurementsshortly thereafter.

New to this site so just wondering.....if you are a daily weigh-in person (like me) can you log your weight in everyday or does the site only allow once per week?

You can input your weight every month, week, day or even hour! It's really up to you. Just go to "Weigh In" (My Home tab on the left side of the screen) and just input your current weight in the field indicated. This site has little restrictions when it comes to your weight loss goals and the way you track them. Hope this helps.

I weigh myself everyday to help keep me on track. I only update my weight here at MFP once a week, and that's if my new weight has stayed stable.

The big thing with daily checks is to know there will be fluctuations. Don't get upset over sudden changes. Just use it to be mindful of if you're following your weight loss plan.

I try to do it once a week, as well as taking measurements. One thing I've noticed for sure is the measurements have decreased even if the scale isn't so encouraging. That definitely helps with the motivation!
