HOw often do you weigh?

1-2 times a week. For me, more=crazy, less=lazy

I weigh myself daily. I try to do it around the same time everyday (which I hear is best). Usually after my morning bathroom break. Also, it helps if your clothing each time is roughly the same weight as previous... OR you can always do it nude. Lol

I try to weigh myself daily at the same time. Some days i forget and I wait until the next day.

Once a month if I remember.

I was weighing every day and it wasn't pretty....too much fluctuation..........I then tried monthly......and that's not good either.........so I'm going to every day but recording only weekly.......with my official weigh in maybe on Wednesdays as a poster above mentioned.

Once a day, in the morning before breakfast.

:drinker:

Once a week on a saturday weighing youself everyday will send you mad!

I step on the scale every morning but post my weight on here on Friday Mornings.
I find if I weigh less that morning it gives me more incentive to keep up the good work. If I've gained, it motivates me to step it up a notch.

I weight myself first thing every morning, however, I only record one day a week (Thursday) and I go off of that number. I like to know how I'm doing throughout the week, BUT I'm really good at not stressing over the fluctuations. Based on how that number moves throughout the week, I can usually tell how my official weigh-in will go. For those who freak out over the ups and downs that happen - weighing every day is not a good idea

Officially once a week. But just to monitor, I weigh daily at the msame time. I am not concerned about daily upward fluctuations but I do record any new lows. This helps me with my motivation. At least that's what works for me. :-)

The fact that your weight can fluctuate daily is exactly why (I believe) you should weigh yourself everyday. You are looking for a weekly average. What if the one day you choose for your weekly weigh-in is that day you are 1-2 lbs high or low. You may make changes to your targets for no reason - or be ecstatic/depressed based on an abnormal reading. In other words, weighing once a week does not give you a weekly average - it gives you one data point and your only hope of seeing any average is now at the monthly point. More data is good (when averaged and compared correctly).

The key is not to obsess over that daily weighing. Just take the data and log it. Average your weekly weight and compare it to the week prior to determine progress. Disclaimer: not a nutritionist - just a guy with an engineering degree and lots of practical experience in data/trend analysis and modeling (data not fashion).

I should also mention that weight is just one bit of data that you should be using to assess your overall fitness progress. I recommend getting taped to track progress there. If you are incorporating weight training (recommended) into your fitness routine then you may experience a period with little weight loss, but with inches dropping off. That is a great marker of success. Also, are you getting stronger, able to do a cardio routine longer, clothes fit better, have more energy? The scale is just one way to track toward your goal. Best of luck!

never used to but when my weight loss slowed down I started weighing myself daily, but only "check in" once a week.

I started weighing daily and logging every day or two. I have such huge fluctuations in my weight, so I'm trying to figure out if what I'm eating is bloating me up. I don't feel like it's obsessive, if I started to then I'd stop myself. Now I check in regardless of if I'm up or down, a friend on here suggested doing it because I may be able to see a pattern. I've had issues in the past where that stupid number would dictate my mood for the rest of the day but I think I've gotten past that (of course i was down this morning so that may be why I'm so optimistic!)

Okay, I was weighing every day. But I am not losing weight and I see by the responses you have that those who weigh less often seem to be losing more. Think it is time for a change to once a week!
