Does anyone else weight in every day?

I used to weigh in every single day but I would get so frustrated by the flucuating numbers that it kept me confused and anxious. Now I weigh once a week and it seems to be more accurate and I am much happier.

I step on the scale every morning. The numbers don't stress me out. I use it as a tool to know what I should be doing for the day...more water intake...less sodium...etc.
I think it's only a bad thing if you're focusing on the numbers and not keeping in mind that daily fluctuations happen.

I weigh every morning. Some will say this is bad, but it helps keep me motivated because I can look at week over week or month over month data to compare weight loss. I understand that certain uncontrollable factors can affect this number, but they will affect this number whether you weigh once a month of 30 times a month (I also weigh to estimate these variables, but that is different).

Do what works for you and ignore the rest.

It's hard for me to stop weighting my self every day, but I think I doesn't work for me. It just gets me very anxious. I am going to try to do it every week.

I think you are right. I had our trainer do my measurements BF% and BMI%. I still get obsessed with the scale. I weigh every morning after I shower and I have not seen it move this week. Sometimes it will flux 2-5 lbs. It freaks me out. It's more stressful. The first 30 days it was exciting because I saw constant dropping, until I started working out.

I weigh myself everyday and have done so long before I came here. I don't stress out if the scale moves up a little, it actually helps me be a bit stricter that day if needed. I think if it helps you not stress over it then do what makes you happy. Some people get over excited if the scale moves an inch so do what makes you happy

Yes, I do. If I wait a week I get anxious and I've found that I focus more on my goals when I see daily progress.....keeps me on track. If I wait a week or more I tend to become discouraged and fall off the wagon.

I did until a few days ago. I realized whatever the scale said that day totally set up my mood for the day. So, I have decided to only do it once or twice a week so it doesn't ruin my every day if it doesn't go down, or happens to go up.

Laura, I know it is hard but if you weigh everyday then you are also setting yourself up for disappointment. Your weight will fluctuate on a daily basis because of water gain, stress, etc. It is best to lose the scales or weigh only once a week. Also, you need to weigh first thing in the morning before you exercise or eat anything and weigh on the same day around the same time every week. Oh and make sure you use the bathroom b4 weighing as this to will add extra weight. Oh and most importantly don't focus on the scale so much because if the numbers are not coming down then you could be gaining muscle from walking/exercising and losing inches which is just as important.

This is a hard thing to do. I too get anxious but I refuse to look at the scale until my weigh date and it is Monday mornings. Mondays also help me stay accountable for the weekend knowing that if I overdo it then the scale won't reflect as much weight loss. You'll have to go at your own pace but the scales are actually a bondage. Free yourself from the chains that bind you, the scales. LOL You are doing GREAT!!!

I was weighting myself everyday.But now I stop these.

Well put...excellent reason to step on that scale - as a tool to motivate what you will do that day!! Thanks!

I do. I hate it. I have made one of my goal for the week to not weigh in.

I had pretty much gotten out of this habit.. then I had to go back to it when I got pregnant.. and its stuck with me for now as I just had my daughter 2 1/2 weeks ago. I have a blood disorder that can cause complications in pregnancy and one of them is a large weight gain regardless of what you eat. I carried to almost 38 weeks, gained 30 lbs and still had a baby just under 5 lbs. My sister was the same way having her baby at 37 weeks, having gained 60 lbs and having a 4 lb baby. So yeah.... I am sorta back into that mess of weighing daily even though the alarm for complications is gone.

I weigh in every night before bed and every morning. I like to see the difference from night to morning, sometimes it's good sometimes it's not but it is what it is. As long as your not letting you stress out over it then don't worry about it. There have been days that I wasn't home to weigh in and while I was wondering what it was for that day I didn't stress over it. Also as long as you understand that you weight will go up or down from day to day without doing anything different....trust me I'm battleing 6 lbs that just don't want to stay away, it's taken 3 weeks to come down and I'm not sure it's down to stay. But it is what it is. You do what's good for you and let others do what's good for them. We are all different and at some point others need to learn that little lesson, but I'm sure they won't cause they are know it all's who in reality only know what works for them.
