Does anyone else weight in every day?

Yes It keeps me motivated and on track!!

I weigh every day, in the morning after I pee. I like watching the number go down And when it goes up...it's usually because I over ate the previous day or didn't drink enough water. I don't find it stressful, I find it motivational! I log the weight once a week and measure once a month.

Terrible idea. Stop now. You will drive yourself insane. I've havent been on the scale since mid-July.

There's too many variables (mainly water and stress) that cause weight to fluctuate up to 5lbs in a given 24 hours. Once a week, same circumstances. That's all you need.

Please. It's not the same for everyone.

I have never had an issue weighing myself every day. It doesn't drive me insane, I'm aware of fluctuations during the day. I don't care if it's three pounds higher than it was yesterday, as long as I have a generally downward slope on the graph over the long term.

I don't even log all my weigh-ins. I mostly do it for idle curiosity.

Thats fine then. Seems like a few people who posted here say the same. I just dont want you to act based on the number you see that day. Gotta look at the trend overtime.

I do it every day, some times multiple times a day. I'm not obsessed (really!) but I'm working nights and I find it interesting to see how my weight fluctuates during the day. Once I get back to swings and on a regular schedule, I'll go back to doing it once in the morning. Checking every day allows me to see how my body reacts to things, such as hormones and the stuff I've been eating. I will also mention that by weighing myself daily (and looking at the trend from the last week), it's motivating to keep what I'm doing, or change. I've lost 30 pounds so far, and kept it off for 8 months.

It really is personal choice! I used to weigh in everyday religiously now I make sure I weigh in every Friday and use that as my official weigh in and what I use to log progress on mfp mainly friday because it helps give me focus not to binge at the weekend if I am reminded of all the hard work I put in during the week to lose the weight in the first place. Thats not to say I dont weigh in any other time I just dont log it. This week so far Ive jumped on the scales twice and probably will again before Friday! If it helps you not to stress out then that can only be a good thing right?

I always say I am not going to weigh in daily and end up doing it anyway. Sometimes it is discouraging and other times it drives me to stay within my guidelines.

If you don't stress about it, it is fine....It's like the whole "You say 'toe-may-toe', I say 'toe-mah-toe" debate......personal preference.

I weigh myself almost daily, and it's never bothered me.

Once a week and never on a Monday!

I weigh in every day and track it with a free app on my smart phone called Libra weight tracker. It's really neat because it gives you the overall trend and also calculates when you will reach your goal based on your current trend. It also gives you the average loss for the week, 2 weeks, month, 3 months, 6 months and year. I love seeing those numbers, and if I have days when the scale doesn't seem to be going the right way or it seems to be moving slow, I can still look and see that my overall average loss per week for the last 6 months is 1.5 lbs and that makes me feel good.

There's been some anecdotal evidence that successful maintainers weigh in daily. The key to having daily weigh ins is to accept that the scale is never static and can be influence by so many things. Personally, I think weighing in daily helps me see that okay, I gained 2 lbs overnight, it's obviously not fat. Daily weigh ins won't work if you base your worth on the scale or if you let it dictate your day. If you berate yourself every time you see a little gain or reward yourself every time you see a little loss, then daily weighing is probably not a good idea.

Terrible idea. Stop now. You will drive yourself insane.

^^^^ This!! ^^^^

I used to and am glad I'm only a once-a-week kind of Girl now...

: ))

Weekly only, it flucuates too much to do daily..(for me)

I can see how different styles would work for different people. For me, NOT weighing regularly was part of how I ignored my fat and crept up to 296 lbs without thinking much about it. So the daily accountability helps me. I see my number and celebrate how much I've accomplished and I take the daily fluctuations in stride. Definitely do what works for your mental health!

I only log on Fridays, but I do step on every morning. Seeing it go up doesn't stress me out or bother me, so I see no harm in "checking in" every morning. I'm currently working on a project of tracking it every day on another app just to show one of my friends the wild fluctuations.

I hop on the scale most days, only because I find it interesting to watch it fluctuate on a day-to-day basis, but I only "officially" weigh-in once a week

I weigh myself almost everyday but only record it on Fridays. It helps me stay on track. I know about the different things that make weight fluctuate so I don't let it make me crazy. It works for me. I think this is definitely one of those things that's a personal choice. If you start obsessing over it and it hinders you, stop doing it.
