It's up to you...
I weigh in daily knowing that there will be fluctuations from day to day. It just keeps me honest.0 -
For the most part, I weigh in every Friday. If I've had a few awesome days of calorie-watching and exercising, sometimes I'll weigh in early just to see what's happening, lol.0
-
I personally like weighing in daily. I know how much weight can fluctuate from day to day and it definitely keeps me on track. If it does go up a little bit I know I need to crack down a little more and it doesn't stress me out0
-
I weigh in everyday in the morning at the same time (right after I wake up). I helps me stay focused.0
-
I weigh daily to track my fluctuations (high sodium days). But I only record weekly. Always on the same day. I have noticed by tracking daily that my highest weight is ALWAYS on a Tuesday and my lowest is ALWAYS on a Thursday. So I record on Thursdays.0
-
I weigh in once a week, but it really is up to you.0
-
I say weekly. And on the same day, in the morning every week. Your weight can fluctuate throughout the day, and on a daily basis, so this can get discouraging, However, weekly weigh-ins will allow you too see any results in a more dramatic fashion and can help keep you motivated if it's going in the right direction lol.0

Daily - it helps me keep focus on my goal0
-
I only weigh monthly and track inches lost weekly. Too many variables to weigh more than that!0
-
I generally do it every saturday in the morning, but like some of the other posters, I'll weight in just for the heck of it if I'm walking by the scale...and I also weigh-in if I've had a few really good days in a row.
What you need to keep in mind if you're going to weigh in more often than weekly (or maybe even weekly) is that you cannot freak out/get discouraged/go on an emotional eating binge if your weight is not changing or if it even says you've gained a pound or two.
These things take time, and there's so many factors that can affect your weight in a slight way (e.g. water). As long as you keep focused on the big picture, there's nothing wrong with checking in more frequently to see where your weight is at.0 -
I weigh weekly. I feel like if I weighed daily I would get too discouraged if I saw weight gain.0
-
I weigh in daily but record once a week. I like to see the fractions of pounds coming off too.0
-
I record every Friday morning. I step on the scale 2-3 times a week depending on my mood. This week I stepped on more because I've been in a crummy mood and wanted to make sure it wasn't causing my weight to go up. (Crummy moods tend to lead to over eating for me)0
-
If I do it daily I take the number with a grain of salt. The weekly number I take more seriously. If daily keeps you feeling more accountable, though, then go for it.0
-
I weigh myself daily, in the morning. I don't put a lot of stock into the number that I see, and only enter it into MFP when there's a loss (to keep myself happy). Somtimes I go almost a week with nothing then a bunch comes off at once. I think I weigh myself out of an irrational fear of gaining 10 pounds a day for a week or something like that. I know it won't happen, but I like to keep an eye on it and keep myself focused.0
-
I used to weigh myself every morning, but quickly became frustrated because the weight would fluctuate a lot. I heard your supposed to weigh yourself first thing in the morning after you use the bathroom because that shows your true weight. I am going to start weight in once a week now!0
-
I tell myself im going to weigh in just once a week...
Then i see it each morning and i just HAVE to hop on it!! LOL
i get less scared and freaked out if i get on it everyday.
I dont want to have to beat it up once a week !0 -
I weigh in daily but record once a week. I like to see the fractions of pounds coming off too.
^^^ I do this too!
Edit: and the fractions are sooo preeeeetty!! :laugh:0 -
I weigh in every Saturday morning as soon as I get out of bed. I will often skip a weigh in during the wonderful time of the month when I feel bloated. Or just know that if I don't lose that week that I will for certain lose the following week. Good Luck!!0

I used to weigh daily but only count my Thursday weigh ins. I liked to see my daily weigh just curiosity I guess0
