I started weighing myself once a week in the afternoon (after work) but didn't think this was right. What does everyone else do?

A few times a day. My weight is weird it fluctuates a lot and I'll go for a month without really losing any and then I lose like 8lb in one week. It's good I guess but kinda alarming. I suppose it can't really do any harm though.0

Every Sunday morning when I get up.
There is no right time. Although weighing your self at the same time of day each time helps. I also would recommend to not weigh yourself too often since weight can fluctuate from one day to the next and can be disheartening on the days it goes up, even if only 1/2 a pound. Most people I know weigh in once a week.0 -
Every Friday (it's the start of my weekend) morning when I wake up... although I do check on progress throughout the week, from time to time, to make sure what I am doing is working0

I weigh myself every other Saturday, and I don't weigh myself during TOM, I skip that week.0
-
always first thing in the morning and usually Mondays unless I forget which happened this week so I will weigh in next Monday.0
-
Preliminary weigh-in Thursday morning, official weigh in Friday morning. :laugh:0

I weigh myself every morning around the same time... after I've been through the morning routine, simply to give myself a continuous point of reference.
I've been told by some that you "shouldn't" weigh yourself every day and I understand that some of the weight loss clubs are obsessive about telling people to only weigh once a week... but I'm an engineer and a bit obsessive about numbers and graphs
I don't think it's a bad thing to weigh yourself every day unless it develops into a disorder and don't forget, depending on your scales they can fluctuate considerably so it should never be more than a general guide to how you're doing whether it's once a day or once a week.0 -
I usually try to weight myslef every 2 weeks or as close to that time period as I can. I don't weight myself weekly, first because my scale is all messed up so I have to go to a farmacy to do it and second because I like to wait as long as possible so I can see actual numbers that I can be proud of.0

Didn't think of that, wondering now if thats why I feel even more disheartened during that particular week x0

Every day before I shower. I have to have the scales in the exact same place on the floor, I strip naked and then weigh 3 times and take the average (my scales usually vary by 0.25-0.5lb each time).0

Lol, I thought I was the only one who was so anal about it. :laugh: :drinker:0 -
Every day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I like to watch the fluctuations - they don't dishearten me.0

I do it once a week, every friday morning. I like it better when I can see a relatively big number loss, instead of tiny ones, or no loss, from day to day. And there can be so many reasons why it changes from day to day, which doesn't need to be about fat loss/gain.0

I only get weighed at the docs, no stressing it it here.0

Sundays, usually like 1-2 hours after waking up.0 -
I have an official weigh in at 6pm on Thursday of every week at my weight loss support group. Other than that, I do not weigh myself because it could easily become an obsession for me. I know that the majority of the time the scale will reflect whether I made positive or negative choices throughout the week.0
-
Every morning when I wake-up. Unless I'm feeling overly bloated, then I give myself a break. Weight usually fluctuates a pound so I sort of take an average of the week and go with that number; or if I have multiple days at the same weight I log that one.0

I weigh every Saturday morning right after I get up.0
