nillapup

I am new here.. I am sort of the obsessive type of person.. I was just wondering everyones opinion of weighing themselfs.. do you do it everyday.. once a week.. once a month?

I can get obsessive like you and do it everyday, but don't discouraged doing it day by day. Everyone fluctuates. As mentioned I would only take it seriously once a week. Also make sure when you do that you weigh in at the same time of day each time. As I've noticed I tend to be slightly higher in the evening. So I only do it in the morning. LOL! Not sure the reasoning or if everyone is like that or not.

From Thursday, I'm going to weigh on the first of every month.

Daily for me, first thing in the morning.

yes I do not think I could go more then a day wthout weighing myself.. but maybe I should pick one day a week to do an actual mfp weigh in

Pick a day of the week that is your official weigh in. Mine is Monday. I do weigh basically every morning, however over the course of the week I can see up to a six pound weight swing from water weight. I usually tend to have a net loss of a pound a week or so.. sometimes two.

Every morning, but official weigh-ins are Tuesdays.

Friday mornings I weigh in, although sometimes I peek on Wednesdays if I think I'm having a good week.

Every second Monday, first thing in the morning after using the bathroom.

I weigh once a week. Every Friday morning, first thing in the morning. The only thing I do before I weigh myself is pee and I try to wear the same clothing.

I find weighing myself everyday leads to too many fluctuations and leaves me discouraged while weighing once a week is probably more accurate and usually leaves me feeling more successful!

I weigh every day, but only 'officially' on a Monday. I find it interesting rather than discouraging, I seem to lose weight from Monday to Thursday and then stay the same until the following Monday! I've played around with things that I eat and do to see if it makes any difference, but it must just be the way my body works!

My weighing schedule is kind of complex. I weigh my self at my grandparents house every wendsday because they have a digital scale, but the scale is inaccurate (I guess cause it's old). The scale at my house is accurate but is hard to read because it is a analog type scale with tick marks that are very tiny and impossible to see unless you bend down and examine it. So I guess I'm not going to weigh in until I hit the 135 tick mark because its easier to see. Bleh so complex!

I belong to TOPS and we weigh-in every Monday night at 6:30. Then I get home from my meeting and post my loss to MFP. Too much anxiety for me hopping on the scale at home every day. Once a week works great!

I weigh every morning and only post my weight when I show a loss of .4 or more! I don't obsess about it though - I just like to know what is going on. My weight loss can be sporadic - I'll lose a bunch, then gain. As long as I am averaging at least 1/2 pound a week, I'm happy - I'm near my goal, though, and I have been averaging 1 pound a week lately.

I usually end up weighing myself every day, but only make it "count" once a week... or when it goes down.

I weigh myself every Friday morning and sometimes I will on Wednesdays. I, too, have a question. Weigh yourself with clothes on or off? Clothing adds weight so, just curious as to how others do it and your thoughts on the accuracy of weighing yourself while clothed.
