personally, I weigh every other day. that way, i see results, but don't get discouraged if they don't come right away.

I would say no more than once a week. Your weight fluctuates from day to day....even from morning to evening. Weigh once a week in the morning right after you awaken.

Some weigh every day...I do. But I don't get disappointed....I know what to expect. Others cant weigh more than once a month. Its a personal decision. And its only ONE measure of success.

I've always been told to weight yourself once a week at the same time and day each time. However, I have been weighing myself each morning right after I get up. This gives me an opportunity to look at what I may have done right or wrong the day before. It keeps me accountable and it helps me weed out the wrong things I may have done the day before.

I weigh about once a week and always on the same scale (every scale is different so your numbers could be way off depending on what which ones you use) and about in the same clothing. I originally thought I would weight myself once a month but I like the motivation that getting on the scale weekly brings. So do what works for you but also to remember to take all of your measurements since we all lose weight differently!

Once a week. Personally, I am not weighing myself for the first month. Why? Because then it will be all about numbers and I don't want to be discouraged if I don't lose as fast as I want.

Don't rush it! The scale can trick you a lot of times. Judge your progress on how your clothes fit rather than the scale. It's nice to see the scale move but you have to have patience. 1-2 pounds a week max if you want to stay healthy. I weigh every 3 days if I can stand to wait that long lol. It's easier said than done:)

If you look through the first two pages of the forum, you'll find about a thousand answers.

You should weigh once a week .

Weigh once a week, if that. Take measurements, as they are less likely to fluctuate.

When you first start off I would suggest you weighing everyday expecialy if your a good bit over weight if your only 10 or 20 over once a weak is fine. The reason why is if your keeping up with what you are eating you may find certain foods hold you back or certain exercises knock the weight off faster this way you can keep up with what works and what don't however I would not log my weight every day just make a mental note. You have to make sure if you weigh every day not to get discourage when it goes up and down just make notes not to repeat what you did the day before good luck

Do it whenever you want. Some people prefer weighing only once a week as your weight fluctuates but if you are like me and not affected by the fluctuations, you can weigh everyday (thats what i was doing). I was tracking my weight everyday for the last 4 months and it was good with me because i could handle when i wouldnt lose at all or when i would lose only 1lb or 2lbs

I was told you weigh yourself once a week and in the morning when you first wake up because that is your true weight.

Everyone is different. Some people need to know that all of their hard work everyday is paying off OR they are not slipping off so weighing daily is a motivation.
Other people believe weight fluctates, so daily weigh ins give them anxiety so they do it once a week, same time/day/clothes (or none).

Personally, I find weighing in daily keeps me in check. When I stopped weighing in so often, I gained which is why I'm active on here (lol)
Do what YOU feel comfortable doing! Dont be hard on yourself just re-evaluate for next time.

I was weighing everyday, and my hubby encouraged me to do it only once a week, so this past week I didn't weigh myself, but I also haven't felt as motivated to work out hard and eat healthy. I realize I may lose 2 lbs one day only to gain back 1 or 2 of those the next day, I don't really let it bother me. Daily eeing lower numbers motivates me to keep working hard, and a gain just motivates me to work harder that day.

Mrbigt28

it really depends how strong you are mentally. Weighing daily can be a bit discouraging. i'd personally say once a week would be sufficient. Especially after i've trained a few ladies...

I weigh myself every Friday morning as soon as I wake up and after I pee lol I would suggest weighing yourself once a week but at the same day of the week and same time. Mornings are usually better because if you weigh yourself at night it wouldn't be accurate if you just had a meal an hour or two ago. Just my two cents. Good luck!

once a week.. in the morning after you eliminate everything out of your bladder.

StephStepByStep

I weigh myself every two weeks. Weighing myself every two weeks lets me see a pretty big change in my weight and gives me something to look forward to and work for.

mamagooskie

once a week is great.....but every hour if you are OCD.

smily_001

I weigh once a week. Your weight changes so much day to day. I weigh on Friday morning that way I can also eat a. Little higher cals but still under goal and have all week for it to balance back out.

Once a week is what I have always preferred.... My weigh in day has always been Wednesday..... Best of Luck...

I record it every Mon but I do get on the scale each morning. Im a numbers person so I liked the idea of knowing how much my weight will yo-yo thru the week.

I stand on the scale every morning.... I just can't help it! But I only log my weight on Mondays, that's the weight that "counts".

eleeke2008

I personally try to take my recorded weight once a week, but i wont lie I usually weigh every other day to see if i have made progress.

harrisaman

I started yesterday myself and I always have my weigh in on the day that I start, so every Wed it will be for me..............................GOOD LUCK Lilliam G!

I weigh in once a month or so. I don't own a scale, so that makes it easier. I feel like I'm able to focus better on my workouts rather than the result I may want to see every week/day. I've only been lifting for a little over 2 months, but I'm already stronger and jeans that I couldn't zip 3 months ago now require a belt. That is so much more satisfying than any number on a scale

I started going to a doctor when I decided to make a change and I go once a week. However, she will only weigh me once a month. I do cheat a little from time to time on a set of scales at work about every two weeks but as she explained weighing to often doesn't always give you a good idea of how things are going. She said your body will sometimes retain excess water for numerous reasons and you don't want to think your gaining weight when in fact your not.

Trainers and nutritionists always recommend
weighing in once a week in the morning and
nude. You should also take measurements once
a month.
