I would like to know how often it is good to weigh yourself?


If anybody wants to add me please go ahead. I could do with more people to lose weight with :)

    Daily, in the morning after I've gone wee.

    daily. I also view it as just a number, not a reason to celbrate or panic.

    Every morning. I'd be too scared to wait a whole week and not see any results... better to know ahead of time.

    Daily, in the morning when I first wake up. I track it using the Weight Bot app on my Iphone. I love seeing the progress from day to day and week to week.

    I know it is suggested to do it only once a week, but daily works for me.

    Hi I always weigh myself daily, the thing is though it can become a habit and not necessarily a good one!

    Daily. But I have to remind it's normal for weight to fluctuate. I can drop 3 pounds one day and put 1-2 pounds on the very next day, doing absolutely nothing different. As long as the graph shows a downward trend over a couple of weeks or months, I'm happy. I have tried to not weight myself or only weight once a week, but then I just sit there and wonder how I'm doing. Slightly obsessive I guess.

    Tsk Tsk Tsk i see alot of people do it daily it kinda is a bad habit but i always recomend to my friends and family not to do it daily because when i would do it daily i would lose 1-2 pounds and gain 2-3 pounds the next and i would get discouraged, so I weight myself on thurs and then again on monday so i even if i lost one pound i would be satisfied because i weigh less that last time, also if you do it daily it starts to become an obsession

    Daily. Every morning as soon as I wake up. I know the scale will fluctuate from day to day, and weighing daily keeps me on track so I don't get tempted to gorge myself on anything.

    whenever i feel like i'm doing some progress - about every 10 days or so - i don't want to look at the scale and see it go up- would prefer to see it go down or stay the same is fine as long as i don't gain.

    Once a week on a Friday morning when I wake up, on an empty stomach.

    Before and after taking a dump - just as a source of pride. Eating A LOT of food makes for impressive bowls full :glasses:

    Otherwise I am on a 3 month hiatus from looking at my weight. I am enjoying lots of food and lots of energy to work out hard. If I paid attention to my weight and not my strength gains/measurements it would derail my plan.

    I weigh myself every morning. I can't help it, I jump outta bed and hop on the scale. =P

    I take measurements and photos weekly.

    I love it when a woman isn't afraid to speak her mind!

    For the first 70lbs, I weighed myself every morning. For the next 20lbs, weekly. Now, because I'm building muscle and actually gaining weight (but losing body fat percentage!) only once a month.
