How often do you weigh yourself?

raindropwishes

Just curious? I used to weigh weekly, it was nice, but frustrating as if I got stuck at a weight for, say, 4 weeks, that's 4 weigh-ins where you're the same. I've been contemplating fortnightly. How often do you all weigh/plan to weigh?

once a month.

I weight myself sporadically... probably once a month on average!

I affirm your proposal of weighing yourself once a fortnight, because really, weighing yourself any more often than that may breed obsession re meaningless fluctuations.

And it's not like your weight's going to change dramatically one way or another just because you're not monitoring it every single week.

I belong to a six-week challenge on the boards, so I usually weigh in once a month. But since weight training, the scale is not being my friend. So mentally I am going by whether or not my pants fit me, and how they are fitting me. I am happy to say that even though the scale has NOT been my friend, when I put on newly washed jeans yesterday I hadn't worn in awhile, I didn't have to do the "pants dance" and actually had a little wiggle room. So I'm all for suggesting measurements as a better indicator.

About twice a week, but I only update MFP once a week on my "official" weigh in day (Monday mornings)

I used to step on the scales every morning. No, not because I'm obsessed!
I watched carefully what I had eaten the day before and the results from weighing. Now, after 2 months, I know my sodium limit, how much protein I need and so on. It helped me. From now on I will weight myself once a week until I've reached my goal.

i used to weigh in weekly and then i started school, i havent had an official weigh in since probably sept or oct...lol i mean ive weighed in since then but dont record them bc theyve showed ive gained or stayed the same, and it will be awhile longer before i weigh in due to the holidays! lol. i mean ive just been so busy i tend to forget to weigh in, but its not all about losing at a quick pace, its about losing it and keeping it off no matter how long it takes me, slow and steady wins the race and eventually ill get down to where i want to be!

I weigh myself whenever I start to wonder what my weight is. It could be anything from twice a week to twice a month.

Every Sunday.

I only weigh myself first thing in the morning after the "morning pee" and before I eat or drink anything. I prefer not to weigh myself everyday only becuase I know that my weight is going to fluctuate. I try to go by how my clothes fit rather than the number on the scale. But, mainly for curiosity sake, I will weigh myself (usually on a "fat" day) just to make sure I am still within my weight goal numbers and not over.

I weigh myself first thing in the morning but track my weight every few days to weekly.

Usually once a week on Monday.

Once a week normally a thurs/friday. Then once a month at the drs so I can get my printout from the machine and prove to my dr that I really am losing as much weight as I say I am. Since my city was voted the fattest in the area they have been hot on trying to get people slimmer, the average waistline around here is 40", mine was 45" at my highest and is now around 36-37" Our drs get a bonus if they get people to a normal BMI, stop smoking or some other health targets.
