    There is no reason to weigh in daily. Weight naturally fluctuates several pounds throughout the week, so it would be counterproductive to really take those numbers into consideration. The most reliable way to weigh in is to do it once a week at the same time; for example, every Saturday morning after you use the bathroom but before you eat.
    Best of luck! :D

    Agree!

    Always weighed in weekly, because you will barely see improvements if you weigh in daily, where as you feel much better when you see a couple of pounds off after the week :-)

    I was weighing just once a week for my official weigh in, and then once or twice through the week to keep tabs...

    This week I am doing every day and going to average it and see how it comes out. I do fluctuate about .5 to 1 lb depending on what I ate for dinner.

    There was a while where I was at a plateau and weighing in was annoying, whether it was daily or weekly....so I just stopped for about 3 weeks, but kept up my workout. When I weighed in, I was still at the same place where I was before the break from the scale, so I am glad I didn't weigh. I would have just been really frustrated, and who knows what would have happened to my motivation!

    I added a little more variety into my diet, and actually started to eat about 200 calories more per day, and the numbers started moving again.

    Regardless of if you weigh daily, weekly, or never, the best judge of success is how healthy you feel, and how your clothes fit! I must be doing something right, because I have only lost one pound in the last two weeks, but a pair of pants I bought recently was extra, extra roomy today :)

    I weigh myself daily first thing when I get up in the morning right after I go to the bathroom, buck naked and holding my breath!..... lol seriously...... but I do it as a way to remind myself every morning as I start my day WHY I am going to take the stairs, and stick to my healthy eating...... if the scales are up a bit, it's ok.... I know that's normal, and I'm ok with it..... I just need to keep on track :) and if they are down an ounce or two :) lol I will gladly take all the credit!





    Life's too short to be normal :)

    Ditto. I weigh everyday to remind me why I'm not going to Wendy's for lunch, or Sonic for breakfast. The only weight that I record is when I weigh on Thursday. It's what works for me but YMMV.
