How often does everyone weigh themselves?

I used to weigh in every Sunday using the gym scales but recently started the Dukan diet so weigh myself every morning before breakfast. Helps to keep me motivated when I can see the changes.

My fitness trainer has me weighing myself on the days when I do weightlifting - 3 days per week. We record once a week - Monday morning before our session.

I had a scale like that and got a way more accurate one and it was so worth it! Weight daily so that a good scale helps so the extreme fluctuations are undermining!

I generally weigh myself every morning when i wake after I use the bathroom and before I am ready to jump in the shower. However I try to only log my weight once a week for accurate reporting.

Once a week, usually in the late evening. Probably not the best time because that's when you're heaviest, but that's when I usually go to the doctor, so I won't feel so bad when I see the scale there lol. I don't think it matters when you weigh yourself during the day, as long as it is consistent each time you weigh yourself. I.e. like don't weigh yourself one week in the morning and the next in the evening, or vice versa. Either stick with weighing yourself in the morning or at night.

Every 5 min. Ok kidding more like every morning but trying to break that habit and change it to once a week.

I try to weigh every 2 weeks.

Every Monday evening but I think I will switch to morning.

The most important thing about weighing yourself is not frequency, it's consistency. I weigh myself about 3 times a day. That has given me an understanding about my body, about the water retention, about the results of what and when I eat. I understand however, that those numbers will vary greatly throughout the day depending on what and when I eat. I never worry about whether I weigh 2 pounds more in the afternoon than I did that morning. I look at the data at the end of the week and follow the trends. What is important is that you are CONSISTENT in your weigh ins and how you choose to do so. Gym scales are used so often that they can vary up to 4 pounds. Choose when you want to weigh, how you want to track your weight and do it on the same scale every time. I CANNOT stress this enough though, do not obsess too much about the numbers on the scale. If you are working out a lot, your body is going to store your calories in your muscles. That will make you look hot, without seeing much decline on the scale.

every day when I get out of my morning shower, just for reference. I record every Sunday after my morning shower.

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).

I do this too!

I weig every Wednesday morning at 8am

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).

I'm exactly the same!

Lol, I thought I was the only one who was so anal about it. :laugh: :drinker:

OMG I do this exact thing too!! There is a certain spot on my bathroom floor that seems to be a "magic" spot where I weigh a couple ounces less.

I tend to weigh myself first thing in the morning, after I use the potty. I only record my weight Monday mornings. And the week my period is due I use what I weighed the Friday before for that week. I gain like 2-3lbs of pure water during that week, not going to go crazy over that blip every month.

Once a week, usually on Fridays early in the morning. Helps me to deal better with the weekend.
