How many times a week do u weigh yourself?
Replies

One at most, sometimes as little as one or 2 times in a month - makes the reward greater plus weighing yourslef daily does not help, weight fluctuates due to water retention TOTM etc,
I would say stop with the everyday:ohwell:

This is my approach as well. Over the holidays I weighed every three days, but I have only touched the scale once in the last two weeks.0 -
Weigh ins in my opinion are a personal preference. I split the difference. My official weigh-in is Monday at 6 a.m. I still weigh myself during the week, as my travel schedule permits. And yes, I've weighed myself in the morning, at about noon and in the evening. Morning seems to be the most stable for my lifestyle and eating habits. Using daily weigh-ins with a scale that measures water and body fat helps me see what my normal fluctuations are in a week.0

Daily. WiFi scales. Values plugged into Trendweight.com which does some mathematical jiggery pokery to smooth out the ups and downs and just shows the general trend.0

DAILY! don't like the once a week thing.. I want to know what I weight first thing in the morning.0

I rarely weigh myself. I go more by how my clothes fit me. I lift weights so if I gain muscle and lose fat a weight in isn't really telling me how much fat I've lost. But since I know I can now fasten my belt an inch shorter than a month ago I know I'm still moving in the right direction.0

I weigh and log daily. I like to see the fluctuations and I don't stress over them. As long as the basic trend is downward I know that small gains here and there are no biggie because I can see the trends. It keeps it real for me - but isn't for everyone.0

Daily, but only once a week for official mfp. And i skip my period week0
-
Daily. I cant help myself I wanna know how I am doing and if I need to step it up0
-
Once a week and at same time at day of the week. Please don't weigh yourself daily. You'll drive yourself crazy.0
-
7/365! Unless I'm out of town. That allows me to track trends and adjust my intake appropriately.0
-
I'm daily guy also, it helps me understand what I should and shouldn't eat and how those foods effect me.0
-
every day - twice a day. Since I have a scale in the bathroom, it does not take any extra effort or time.
I log it in MFP only when there is a change in weight,0 -
Once a week. Same day every week. Nekkid, in the morning.0

It all depends on how you are with it.. I know if I weigh my self every day I get frustrated and I give up on my goal.. But my girl friend says that weighing her self daily keeps her on track.. So it is just in what makes you happy.. I weigh my self once a week.. And that seems to help me stay on track..0

I don't. My scale broke. If I'm at a friends' place and they have a scale, I use it. Last week I was 145, confirmed with a scale at my doctor's office. So I know at least that one scale is zeroed properly. I don't want to obsessively weigh myself because when I do, I get obsessive about what I'm eating. I'm still trying to get used to my current diet, and want to turn it into a lifestyle change (not something temporary). You know, figuring out how to get enough calories without increasing actual food intake, since I'm never 'hungry' now. I'm awful at eating, If I get obsessive about what I'm eating, I tend to stop eating. So I'll look out of curiosity every few weeks, see my progress that way. I see bigger number differences that way.0

Once a week on saturdays in the morning before I eat. I used to weigh myself everyday and I would get frustrated because i was not see any real results and weight would be up and down everyday. So once a week works best for me.0
-
I weigh in once a week, every Monday just after I wake up. I used to do it every day or every couple days but I was driving myself crazy.0
-
Every day...pre breakfast and after dinner....0
-
Whenever I feel like it. Sometimes it's everyday, other times I go a week and don't step on the scale. What I look for the most is the way my clothes fit
^this0 -
every day, because i do the body test on wii fit plus, but i do official weigh ins here every sunday0
