How Often Do YOu Weigh Yourself?

Twice a week.

Once on Tuesday, which is when I take my (bi-weekly) measurements and write the numbers in my journal.

Once on Thursday, when I post my weight to the SC_100+ Pounder tracking sheet.

I try not to weigh myself the rest of the time, although I sneak peeks through the week.

I don't want to get all strung out on the weight thing - I care more about my measurements and how I "feel".

This guy is kind of silly but he has some good information on his site. Watch his videos about how his weight can fluctuate.

Based on this information it looks like it would be best to pick a day once per week and weigh 4-5 times and take an average.

I think I'm an outlier: I weigh only once a month. For me, weighing more frequently causes me to put too much emphasis on the scale, rather than on living a healthy lifestyle. And I get frustrated when the numbers on the scale don't match the effort I'm putting in. Since there are so many variables that affect my weight on a day-to-day or week-to-week basis besides what I eat and how much I exercise, I find it more helpful to weigh regularly but less often. Admittedly, this isn't a good strategy for everyone. If you look at the National Weight Control Registry, 75% of folks who have maintained weight loss long-term report that they weigh at least once a week: http://www.nwcr.ws/Research/default.htm. Different strokes for different folks, I guess!

I'm trying the once a month now because I became obsessed with the scale.... This is my first time trying this so we'll see what happens

I find that if I weigh too often it affects everything else in my life. A little OC?! Yes.
My body image is pretty awful but I love the person that I am inside and am well on my way to making things better for myself. A bad weigh-in can sabotage my day and my diet because I'm not in enough control of emotional eating YET. I'm getting there though slowly but surely.
So... once a week is plenty for weighing in. Sometimes I'll even go 10 days because I get demoralized far too easily when I'm on a plateau. For me, I have alot to lose so this is a 5 year plan with renewable contracts with myself and my doctors. The goal here is to lose the weight and build better habits so that I can keep the weight from coming back. 3 years to lose what it's taken me a very long time to gain and 2 in order to fine tune it and learn how to maintain.

I weight once a week, every monday morning before I eat/drink anything. If I weighed every day, I would become obsessed.. I am tempted to weigh every day though!

I haven't weighed myself since December...but that's because I don't own scale. Normally I would do it every other day but only really 'count' the weigh in every week or so.

Every morning...just like to know how I am doing. I'm not trying to lose much more weight, just like to weigh daily to make sure I am not packing on pounds unknowingly. Weighing daily has helped me learn my body, know how it reacts to certain foods and what foods weigh me down. Weighing in daily is just part of the morning routine for me.

I weigh myself every morning. I like to keep on top of any weight gain before it gets out of control.
