Julia your stats are what I'm trying to accomplish! I weigh every morning also..........it's not weighing everyday and being accountable that has my weight up to 154, hoping to be down to 130. Any advice?? I'm currently doing 30 day shred.........at least 60 min. ex./day and goal of 1200 cal/day I am 5ft.5in.

Mine is weigh in the morning, every day, after going to the rest room, naked. I don't weigh myself throughout the day because that would be like putting rocks in my pocket and getting on the scale. I do not need to know how much the food and drink I consume weigh.
Ditto to this!
I will never weigh myself later in the day, I try and drink alot and even though because of this I am constantly on the loo, I can imagine it still makes me gain a fair bit over the course of the day!0 -
I forgot to weigh in... Like, it's been about a week since I last checked my weight and I'll remember in the evening that I should, but then I want to wait until the morning when it's recommended to weigh-in. Eventually I'll check again, I do feel a difference.0

I'm a daily weigher also.............try to wean down to morning and night. It helps keep me accountable ...........it's not weighing that got me needing to lose weight in the first place!! So I think you're ok to weigh daily as long as you don't obsess.0

I do daily readings too, usually before breakfast. Sometimes I weigh throughout the day just to observe how it fluctuates. Like other I don't react to the day-to-day readings, instead I focus on the trends (weekly). Good thing my scale reads very consistent, which gives me more confidence that weight loss trends are accurate.0

I think you should weigh yourself everyday... multiple times a day. Obsess over it. Let it consume your life.
That's me being sarcastic.
In reality, I weigh myself every Thursday morning. Consistency is the key to life.0 -
I weigh every day........not to be too OCD about it but I find the body facsinating because of all the little ups and downs. I like to see how a workout or food affects my weight. it helps me feel a bit more in control and able to fend off a gain.
You are not bad - you are a scientist!
Same here. I weigh myself everyday, sometimes more than once. I only record it in MFP once a week though.
I like to weigh myself right before I go to bed and right after I get up in the morning because it's interesting to me how much it varies. I also do it sometimes right before and after a workout - kind of puts into perspective how much water you lose through sweat after a really good workout.0 -
I weigh in every day, at the same time, on the same scale. People tell me I shouldn't do it every day but I do anyways ;-)
THIS. It helps keep me on track. I record my weight on Tuesdays with MFP to show progress.0 -
I weight myself every day, at the same time of day, in the same clothes every day. I don't much care what it says today as opposed to yesterday, I care about the general trend of those numbers over time. As long as I see a general downward trend over a month's time, I'm happy.
I do also weigh myself at other times just for my own curiosity, but I only record my weight first thing in the morning... right after I pee but before I eat or drink anything.0
