I weight daily, but only record it once a week. I also measure weekly, but only record it biweekly.0

daily. But simply as a process of routine, encouragement and maybe a little bit like shining down a silver spork and replacing it to the glass cabinet. To only repeat the next day.
It brings me comfort.

I record my weight every time I have a loss. It is encouraging to see the numbers ad up on the ticker as the pounds go down.:flowerforyou:0

Once a week, after I pee and before breakfast. I'd love to weigh more often, but I get a bit obsessive.0

I weigh myself whenever I feel it's needed (about 2x per week) but record once a week (every Monday morning). I'm planning on recording my measurements every 10 days.0

Where did you get a shiny silver spork?0 -
Weighed myself today and I've lost 7lbs in 2 weeks! Felt so good today, under 20st (280lbs) for the first time in years.0

Me, too! Whatever works to motivate, right?0 -
I log once a week on Saturdays after exercising and showering and in the buff but only record my weight at the end of the month when I take an average of all weigh-ins.0

I weigh daily and record daily. I like to see the daily fluctuations. However, I do try to turn off the setting where it broadcasts my weight loss if I am re-losing something I already lost, so people don't get confused (because MFP doesn't advertise when I've gained!)0

I check in every Sunday morning before breakfast. We are doing this as a family and since Jan 01 we meet at the scale for our measurements and weigh in then post it on a white board and on MFP. Keeps us all honest0

No judgement here! I completely understand where you're coming from with the comfort aspect of it. While I like the idea of the big numbers on the scale, there's no way I could wait a whole month to weigh in. I'd go crazy. And, I find that my clothes aren't a good indicator. Depending on the brand, I'm in about 3 different sizes right now. I'm looking better in my clothes, but it's not enough of a motivator for me.
We all gotta do what works best for us, right? :flowerforyou:0 -

Ok, I admit it, I am a bit OCD about weighing myself. I get such a high when I see those numbers going down, so I check my weight every day, sometimes twice a day. It's my thing and I own it and I know there are going to be weeks when I plateau and weeks when I gain (had that last week), but I feel that it gives me more control over what I'm doing. I noticed I was slipping more and more diet soda into my diet and my body was responding by holding onto the weight, so I'm working again to keep it to a bare minimum. Also, I know that during certain times of the month, I'm going to hold more water and the scale isn't going to budge, or it's going to go up a little. I don't feel like I'm being unhealthy about it. I know that I'm being a bit neurotic and I'm ok with that. Personally I think it's hilarious that I've upped my calories last week and the weight has been dropping faster now.
Which leads me to my question for those of us who do weigh in daily. How often do you record your weight? I try to only do it once a week, but I've lost 3lbs since my weigh in on Friday and I'm just so stinkin excited about it!!
I could've written this myself! It keeps me on track, so I don't think it's a problem
I record whenever it's lower.
Also how much did you up your calories?0 -
I record my weight every Sunday.0
-
Once a week... on Friday morning.0

I weigh in when I have maintained or exceeded my loss for a full week. That way I don't feel like I'm logging in natural fluctuations.
Ex.
2 weeks ago I weighed 178
1 week ago: 176.8
Today: 176.4.
So today I logged in at 177 because I'm pretty confident that that pound is legitimate. If I get in at < or = to 176.4 next week, then I will give myself 176.5 as a weigh in.
I started this method because I had a really busy weekend once and dropped 4lbs on the scale, but those 4lbs came back almost immediately because they weren't really fat burned.0 -
I weigh every morning and normally log once a week. UNLESS like today, I had a .8 loss since yesterday. That I definitely logged.0
