Weigh Ins

Never daily!!! That is nothing but disappointing and discouraging!! You weight can fluctuate daily, bloat, water weight, etc. Personally I go every 2 weeks or even a month, then I am sure to always see results.

I agree.

That I've noticed, most places recommend you weigh once a week, the same time of day, the same day of the week.

Some people will weigh daily because they like to see how their eating habits effect them on a day to day basis. The only problem with this is water retention. If you have a lot of sodium, you'll retain the water that you drank the day before and can possibly be heavier.

Some people think that weighing daily can make you go crazy because it does fluctuate depending on if you went to the bathroom, sodium, etc

Personally, I weigh every day, just because I'm curious...and right now since I'm in the beginning stages I'm losing daily (mostly water weight I'm sure).

I'm a daily weigher. I need the accountablity and I know not to get discouraged over a slight increase as it is usually gone by the next day!

ONCE A MONTH! DON'T WANT TO DISCOURAGE MYSELF IF I DIDN'T LOSE. IF I LOSE IN A MONTH, PUSHES ME MORE THE NEXT MONTH! GOOD LUCK!:flowerforyou:

I officially "log" my Saturday morning weight. However, I tend to weigh daily but only to see if I am maintaining the weight from the previous weigh in. I have found that I don't see movement on the scales till Thursdays for a Saturday weigh in. For some reason it works that way for me.

I am currently weighing weekly. I prefer to weigh myself on the same day (Saturday) when I first get up.

I am in the club of not weighing daily since your weight can fluctuate so much from day to day and even throughout the day.

Daily in the morning. Sometimes at night too before I go to bed. I have to monitor my weight frequently because it helps me understand if i ate ok or not. It keeps me on track. But my official weight date and record day is Monday. it keeps me from piggy out in the weekend.

I weigh myself once a week on Thursday nights after working out. We usually only have time to work out at night (plus, there's an 80% chance that we will have the gym to ourselves), and we use their scale. When I changed my calorie intake (meaning upping my calories), I weighed myself in the middle of the week (didn't log it though) just to see if there were any significant changes from the calorie change. I don't feel like weighing myself every day would be beneficial because there wouldn't be a huge change, so I do it weekly. Kudos for the people who try monthly-- I don't think I could wait that long.

I don't bother! I know I'm eating the right things and doing the right amount of training.
Used to be awful for it and weigh myself a couple of times a week but got myself out of that mindset and decided I would focus on how I look rather than what the scales say.

I weigh myself every morning after using the bathroom. I like seeing the fluctuations because it lets me know how certain foods/beverages affect my water retention. After doing this for several months, I can usually predict how many pounds I'll gain if I eat this, that, or the other thing, and I know how long it will take to remove that water weight. It helps keep me disciplined, as in, "Is this dinner really worth stalling my weight loss for four days?"

My official weigh-in is on Wednesdays.

Some people can't handle daily weigh-ins, but those of us who like playing with data and causation/correlation don't let it affect our mood. Gaining two pounds of water weight doesn't send me into a binge or make me want to give up; I just drink more water, exercise a little more, and see the number drop 3-4 pounds the next week. No biggie. It isn't a race.
