How often do you weigh yourself? Is it motivating?

every 3 days! (: that way i see some of the little bumps, but not all of them haha

Daily, because I like to see trends and watch my monthly numbers go down.

I weigh myself every day, but wish I did not. It makes me very grumpy if I have gained a pound, or three, especially if I've been exercising a lot and being "careful". Trying to stay positive though and am joining a 4 week weight loss meditation group tonight. Looking forward to hearing others thoughts and feelings. Hoping to put out some positive intentions for success.

Oh and to answer your second question, is it motivating? Well, only if it shows a weight loss! A weight gain is frustrating and I definitely "beat myself up" over it. [sigh/lol]

Once a week - on Fridays. I get so disheartened with a Monday AM weigh in!

I weigh daily, first thing in the morning, but only post when it goes down (but not at the weekend as I weigh later). If I know I have been sticking close to the calorie limit and doing the exercise when it is due then I treat the fluctuations up as something to ignore. I can never predict when that sudden drop down is going to happen so I like the encouragement when it happens. Sometimes I will check my measurements too, but not as often. I get a little disheartened if I can't record a weight loss in more than a week or so. I certainly see a lot more variation than my husband does.

I weigh in every morning, but only record when there's a loss. If I gain, I don't record it. I don't record the loss until the number is less than the previous recorded. It's always under the same circumstances as well... wake up, bathroom, then onto the scale.

It isn't as much of a motivator as it is just a habit. I look at the trends over the course of a week/month and gauge progress based on that.

I used to do it once a week...now I do it everyday... I suggest sticking to once a week, or maybe twice a week. Doing it every day can be very discouraging, at least from what I've found

I weigh myself eight times a day. I record the measurements for a week and total them up, then on sundays, I divide that total by 56 to get my average weight for the week. I find that when I do it this way, I spend more time running back and forth to the scales, and less time eating...and I ALWAYS show a loss. But remember folks, its only magic if it works!!!!

Everyday. I do not get attached to the number but feel it helps me keep track of the trends and assisted me with learning what foods cause me to bloat or hold extra weight. Plus i think it gives my trend lines the most accurate representation. I can have variance from day to day so if I only did weekly weigh-ins what would happen if I just ate big the night before it would not be accurate for the week but if I do it daily and see a spike in one day I know it is just water weight. I mostly just let the calories(tracking) do the work.

Every day...I like knowing that my numbers are going to fluctuate and if I see them daily, I won't be frustrated if on weigh-in day they happen to be up a little. As long as the trend is that this week's highest day is lower than last week's, and so on!!

I weigh in every morning, but only record when there's a loss. If I gain, I don't record it. I don't record the loss until the number is less than the previous recorded. It's always under the same circumstances as well... wake up, bathroom, then onto the scale.

Interesting, this is exactly what I do too.

I weigh daily, but I record my weight once a week (increase or decrease)...I'm not demovitated by a small uptick that may occur due to water weight especially if I'm doing everything else that I need to do. If a small increase is going to send you over the edge, weighing once a week or once every other week might be better.

I weigh myself every friday. Work out and diet all week and it is always great to step on it that one day so I can be surprised and feel better about myself.

The thing that keeps me going to wait until friday is when I am working out.. i just keep saying to myself, more weight by friday and i push myself harder and harder. When I weigh myself every day it just makes me want to quit because I do not see changes as fast as I expect.

I weight myself officially once a week a my weight watchers meeting, that's the weight I track. I'll hop on the scale at home anywhere from 0-5 times in the run of the week to see where I am but I don't really pay attention to it because my scale at home is a little off.

Normally twice a week, Wednesday if I feel good about my progress this week, and Saturday every week. This puts me in a position to always feel good about my weight-loss, while gaining good resolution of the data of my weight-loss.
