success by weighing daily or weekly??

I weigh myself daily more to put myself in a healthy mindset. I've gotten over the fluctuation frustration that I used to get in the beginning of my weight loss adventure. I do need to be able to wake up and step on the scale and then, regardless of if the number is up or down, I remember that my focus of the day is my health and well-being. My focus is my fitness. My focus is my weight loss. My focus is healthy eating. And then I go about my day. I typically only log my weight weekly except when I get close to big milestones.

I read from a nutritionist to try weighing yourself differently then how you normally do. If you weigh daily and are getting frustrated, try weekly. And vice versa.

Personally I weigh everyday, I can't stand the suspense of a week. Plus I'm recording my daily weight on a calendar above my light switch to go for 10 pounds before halloween, and I've put my goals for each week in advance.

I weight myself everyday even though I know I shouldn't. Becomes a bit of an obsession. I think once a week is best if I'm going to keep my sanity. I find myself on the scale 3-4 times a day. I find I weight more in the morning than in the afternoon-at least when I'm following my diet plan like I'm supposed to. On mornings when I know I did wrong the day before, I avoid the scale, because I don't want to know how badly I behaved.

I'm a daily weigher but weekly recorder. I weigh daily for the same reason someone above mentioned - that it keeps me accountable and on track. Otherwise my mindset would be "Oh I have four more days until my weigh in - I can eat this <<fill in the blank>>"

The first 2 months I only weighed in once a month to not get discouraged and I wanted to see a larger number.

Now, I weigh myself every 1st and 15th of the month.

I take a monthly picture every 1st to see the changes from month to month.

Your doing a great job! What are you doing to lose weight?

I weigh myself incessantly. I dont agree with the "weigh yourself once a week people."

I've lost weight 3 times and then put it all back on.. you know why? I didnt get on the scale. I have a pretty good quality scale near the main living area and I jump on it at LEAST daily. it swings 2-3 lbs per day.. The trend is what I am looking for. I see a downward trend. For the past two months after losing my initial 60 lbs I just maintained. I did that by measuring daily and NOT letting myself get more then 10 lbs where my lowest was. I was able to keep it within 5 lbs the whole time by weighing myself daily. That was my secret AND my 2 cents.

Personally, I am fascinated by what the body gains/loses throughout the day, and depending on the day, I will weigh myself multiple times in a day. Obviously, this isn't a true reading of weight loss, but for some reason, I am amazed at how much the body can hold on to throughout a day and then lose by morning. For some people, weighing daily doesn't work because they freak out if they see a gain. I like to see the changes, so daily works. Sometimes it can feel as though it's been a longer amount of time since I last saw a loss, but as long as the overall trend is downward, I'm happy. :O)

I started out weighing everyday, but, now, I weigh weekly. Weighing weekly has really made me focus on my routine vesus what the scale says. You do work, then get a paycheck

I weigh daily I found it the best way to see how you are really doing. Invest in a good digital scale.
