How often do you weigh/measure yourself?

Once a week is best! Max is 2x a week!

I weigh most afternoons when I wake up. I measure when I feel I maybe have achieved something. I have only done the initial measure so far. I think it depends how fast you are losing weight. I am short so I will probably measure every 3-5 lbs that I lose.

I weigh every day first thing in the morning. I also measure neck and abdomen to estimate % body fat on Monday mornings. On monday mornings I also take my blood pressure and resting heart rate.

My approach is to think of it as taking up health as a hobby. I've had kitchen magnets made up, for my counseling clients, that say: Healthy is the new skinny- Eat well, Sleep well, Exercise, Meditate/Pray, Have a hobby, Make friends.

I encourage clients (and others) to think of weight as just one of a range of numbers to keep track of their health. There's % body fat, blood pressure, resting heart rate, total cholesterol, HDL/LDL ratio, and blood sugar to name a few. There's also how many pushups and situps you can do in 60 seconds, how fast you can run 1.5 miles, and low back flexability measures by how far you can reach while sitting with your legs flat on the floor.

When you put weight together with all these numbers it becomes just one small portion of a healthy physical selfconcept.

I say "All things being equal, the healthy persson feels better, and usually pretty nice to look at as well."

Good luck with your MFP program.

I weight myself every Monday and measure once a month.

I weigh every morning!

I measure once a week (bust, waist, hips) and I weigh once or twice a month.

I'm super obsessed, I try not to check every day. I do an official every Wednesday/Thursday morning.
I should get a measuring tape, huh...

Can't remember the last time I weighed, I just know it was 153lbs. I measure weekly, but don't even do that alot of the time. I look at my body and judge my progress that way. I want to get some calipers because I am solely concentrating on nutrition and gaining muscle. It is most certainly a health journey, rather then a weight loss one, thats just an added bonus. I think owning scales at my stage and size is unhealthy I think because I don't have alot more to lose the differences will be minimal, the tape measure is my friend and food, plenty of it!!!! I want to have muscles and a teeny tiny waist, but I want to be healthy, fit and strong more.

my daughter said to the above one day interrupting my explanation of why I went to the gym etc. 'so mummy if things were the other way around and you had to be fat like you were to be fit and healthy and live longer, would you have stayed that way if being skinny meant being unhealthy?' Well without hesitation I said of course, having more years on this earth to be with you is more important to me then looks, its more important then anything in this world.........................

I weigh myself everyday in the morning before my morning run. Its a good way to keep myself motivated.. I havent measured myself though.
