Weighing every morning

I weight myself ever morning and have been doing so for years. One thing I don’t compare day-to-day I compare the same day the week before, such as current Monday against previous Monday, and Tuesday against Tuesday, etc . This method helps me understand the overall trend. But if you cannot stand the day to day variation don’t do it.

I weight daily but I also don't let the number affect my mood. I do it so I can get a feel for how my fluid intake, sodium, time of the month etc. impact me and while I enjoy jumping on the scale every morning it sounds like maybe you don't. An idea to break the habit is to get the scale off the floor, put it on a shelf or in a closet. It is pretty easy to jump on it daily if you walk by it daily.

i weigh myself every day. it helps me focus! and i understand that my body fluctuates, so i don't let it get me down too much. i like the everyday accountability.

I weigh daily because if I am gaining, it gets my attention. I just renew my efforts after a gain.

I weigh myself every day. It keeps me in check with my eating and exercise, because I can see what cheat meals/water retention/skipping workouts/etc. do to my body and make corrections on the spot. Love it!

I weigh myself every morning and on Sundays, I write the "Sunday" weight down. So far (for the past 5 mos) every Sunday has a lower weight. Yes, I have seen it say I am a pound up when it sure shouldn't and there are days, I want to kick that stupid scale across the floor. I have even been known to wag my finger at it before I even get on. My scale tends to have a sense of humor. Anyway, it's ok to weigh yourself every day. It is not ok to make yourself upset if the scale is "messing" with you. Just so long as it doesn't show more then a 2lb gain when it shouldn't be.. cause if it does that, then most likely it isn't "messing" with you, you are doing something wrong.

I weigh every morning. I know I have ups and downs so I don't get discouraged. Whatever works for YOU!

I weigh myself every day and always will.

I weigh every morning and it keeps me on goal. I don't get depressed over a pond or two difference, but once I was on vacation and waited a week to weigh. I gained 12 lbs. Now thaT WAS DEPRESSING. If I gain more than 5 lbs I add some extra exercise and curb calories a few days until I'm back to maintenance weight.

I weigh every morning and track my daily weight in a spreadsheet with my daily calories eaten, calories burned as per my BodyMedia Fit and any exercise calories from that days workout.

I've found it to be infinitely valuable for my journey and also has helped me to have a much better understanding of my weight and the scale. I also measure every couple of weeks as well, but only track those here rather than in a spreadsheet for now. (I'm sure it will be added in eventually)

I can see how high sodium days, cheat meals, or cheat days affect my weight and how long it takes for my body to readjust from those days. It helps me to see when the scale shifts based on the time of the month (for women) and also in relation to the workouts I do - both what type and the intensity.

It's made it so that I don't freak out if I see an increase, because I can usually look at the surrounding factors and know exactly what it's from and just ride it out or make the changes needed to get it going back in the right direction.

How often you weigh is entirely up to you and a decision that you make for yourself based on what works best for you. When I changed from weekly/bi-weekly weighing to daily weighing I broke the plateau that I was in and it has just ended up being a great choice for me in the long term since I made the switch.

I only weigh once every two or three weeks.

It all depends on the person. If you are getting disappointed by the tiny fluctuations, then you probably should move to a weekly weigh in. Here's the thing - a little too much sodium, a really hard workout, a little constipation, TOM, etc can effect your weight. It's not all about what you eat... AND the number on the scale should have NOTHING to do with how you view yourself.

Try not weighing yourself at all for a while if you can stand it. Instead go by how your clothes are feeling, how well you've been eating, your workouts, etc. Take some pride in how well you've done so far!! And learn some patience. We all know those last few pounds take forever to come off so give yourself a break...

Agreed 100%!

I used to weigh daily and get sad if I saw half a pound higher than the day before, or no loss. But NOW I still weigh daily, but I ultimately only care about my weight on a week-to-week basis.

I have an app on my iPhone called "weightbot" in which in input my weight daily (I weigh every morning at the same time after peeing). The app creates a graph that shows a linear representation of your weights over time. So it helps me because I know that straight downwards isn't realistic - all I want to see is a downward TREND.

I'm a day-to-day guy. In the morning nekkid after the bathroom. It can be discouraging to see fluctuations in a pound or so, but I just got used to it and realized it's probably water retention or some other factor.

I'll usually take a good weight in the week, update my stats, and then aim lower.

Overall you just have to keep telling yourself, "If I keep eating right and excersizing I cannot fail"

I've had to say that a bunch of times to myself, but it started to work, and if you follow those rules, your weight will take care of itself.

This is me. Only I don't have a penis.
