Once a week. But I try not to get too into just weight. I do measurements as well.0
-
I weight whenever I remember to, which is usually every 3 or 4 weeks. I prefer to go by the tape measure. I've lost an inch off my waist in the last couple of weeks but the scales haven't moved.0
-
about every other days, but officially record once a week0
-
Once a week... though some times I admit, I DO want to weigh in during that week, but I don't. When I do, I end up getting discouraged...0
-
Mornings when I get up, and then before bed. It's what I need to do to keep myself on track. Many would disagree, but it's got to be what works for you and your brain as you make this journey your own!!0

I smashed my scale and stop weighing it was dragging me down so now I just do measurements0
-
In the morning and then before bed. I like to see how the weight fluctuates, it actually KEEPS me from getting discouraged.0
-
I log every week, but I do weigh myself every day.0
-
Every time I'm near a scale, just about. So yes, two to three times a day, if not more. At this point I just do it out of curiosity for some things more than anything. Though I do care what it says every morning. It never upsets me but it helps me see trends based on what I ate the day before. I don't log with each change, though; I like to see if it'll stick around for a while. Generally I log once a week, if not less frequently.0

I weigh myself every day, I occasionally miss a day just because I forget, but on the whole I'm pretty consistent with it. It records on here automatically so all I have to do is stand on the scales Because I use the WiThings scale, I have a graph of all my weigh-ins & being able to see how much weight CAN fluctuate + or - 2lbs day to day reminds me that its normal, but I usually go up 1lb, down 2, up 1, down 2, which I'm more than happy about
Sometimes I do it first thing in the morning AND last thing at night, just so I can see what's happened to me overnight haha0 -
Once a month and the tape measure once a week0
-
When I'm keeping track, I weigh every day or every other day. Some days I'm retaining water, and if I only weigh in one day a week, I can come up a couple pounds heavier or lighter depending on what I ate the previous day.0
-
I weight myself "offically' every wed but I take a sneaky peak every other day or so..I also measure once a week0
-
I weigh and record the results once a week, but I must admit I actually check in with the scale every morning.0
-
I avoid it as much as possible0
-
Morning & Night, only log when I record a full lb drop two mornings in a row.
Like most who do the same, its a combination of curiosity, motivation, and accountability for me. Its important to find what works for you though, perhaps try a period of daily weighing and a period of weekly weighing, see which one works better.0 -
Every morning when I get up.0
-
When im on track i weigh daily. When i jump ship I'll wait to weigh till I've been on track for a week.0
-
first thing in the morning after waking up and using the washroom
Also randomly throughout the day. I now know that my heaviest is around 4pm and my lightest is first thing in the morning. Sometimes I do it right before bed and then I know whether the scale will go down in the morning or not.
I used to log weight loss about once a week but since I'm doing the 30 day shred, I'm waiting until that's all over before I log in the loss.
I use a tape measure once a month.0 -
Official weigh in is every sunday morning when I record the results. On other days I weigh before I exercise and after just to see how much difference there is0
-
Never, I go by how my skinny jeans fit and how my exercise pants feel0
-
I may weigh myself once or twice a year........ I just look in the Mirror or go by the way my clothes are fitting0
-
every day! i need to stop.. it's not helping. i need to start doing it once a week/weeks or once a month to see my progress.0
-
I maybe weigh myself once every other month, if that. I go by how I look and how I fit in my clothes. But I'm not actively trying to lose weight, just trying to maintain and stay healthy. If you are going to use a scale, I'd recommend not weighing in any more than once every 4 days or so. There are way too many things that can cause the number to fluctuate and discourage you.0
-
In the morning as soon as I wake up, then again before bed. It really keeps me on track and aware of the changes in my body. I know some people are against it, but I don't see how it's so bad.0
-
Every morning. I only record once a week though.0
-
I Try to every morning before I eat, after bathroom time. ) It keeps me on track. when you eat horrible and see the results, you know exactly what did it. And it's better than weighing in a week later and discovering you've gained like 4 lbs..0
-
Everymorning when i wake up...Keeps me on track for the day.0
-
I weigh in every morning, but only record on Monday mornings. Not sure how often I'll measure, since I just started. I would hate to see numbers that aren't encouraging, so I'm probably going to measure every other week.0
-
I personally hate the scale!!! But I do official weigh in's every two weeks! And measurements every 4 weeks.0
