Weighing yourself on the scale...

amandabrady

Just wondering about a few things...

How often do you all weigh yourself?

What time of day do you prefer to step on the scale? Do you think morning vs. night gives you a more true reading?

Do you skip scales altogether and take measurements instead?


I'm trying to set up a regular weigh-in schedule for myself and was just looking for insight as to how all of you do it. I have not purchased one yet, so if any of you have recommendations of an affordable one that weighs accurately, feel free to share! Thanks everybody

I like to weigh myself first thing in the morning, once a week. If you weigh yourself too often, you won't see any results of your dieting and exercise. If you can go two weeks, i'd recommend it! but once a week should be good. Pick a day and make it your weigh in day

good luck to you!

i personally weigh myself once a week in the morning when i get to the Y any more and i would drive myself crazy - i use the scale in the changing room at the Y- we don't keep a scale at home - i would be on it everyday then

I don't own a scale either. I work at a Dr's office so I weigh in once a week, first thing Monday morning. That works well for me!

I weight myself once a month. I find if I see a larger weight loss number I won't be discouraged easily. Most people do it once a week, but each to there own. Good Luck and Happy Weight Loss!

I weigh myself about twice a week just to make sure I am keeping on track. Always in the morning right before breakfast. If I do eat something not on the diet, I weigh just to make sure that I keep everything in check afterwards. I actually enjoy the little losses because it makes me feel like I am accomplishing something.

Every Friday morning, first thing after I go to the bathroom.

Everyday, in the morning before breakfast. That way I get used to the fluctuations and don't freak out if the scale is up for a day or two as long as it's trending down. Once a week would freak me out because if I had extra water weight on that one day it would discourage me.
