How Often Do You Weigh?

Once a week, first thing when you wake up (after the bathroom, of course), naked. That is the least you will weigh. Worst time, in the evening after a big meal. lol

I weigh every morning. I have found that when I stop doing that, I tend to gain weight. I expect small fluctuations and when the number goes up, I tweak my diet or exercise for the day to try to bring it down. Sodium is usually the culprit, in my case.

Daily, with the understanding that some days the scale will be up a few pounds after really hard workouts or eating salty foods. I gained weight by avoiding the scale, and have lost weight by staying on top of it.

This^. When I started gaining weight the last time I was thin, at first I thought, well, I know I can get that off, but I didn't start getting it off, just kept weighing. When it reached 13 lbs. gained, instead of doing what I needed to, I just quit weighing so that I would quit being reminded. I need to see what it says every day, but I only log it on MFP once a week, Sunday morning.

Oh, and always weigh at the same time of day under the same circumstances. I don't weigh when I'm traveling for that reason--no scale in the bathroom so can't weigh naked. And I don't always get up as early on vacation anyway.

I weigh daily, in the morning. I have WiFi scales so it gets recorded automatically. The data then gets automatically pulled into https://trendweight.com/dashboard/ that uses some mathematical formula to smooth out the variations so I can see the overall trend. I like data :-)

This, too. Love my wifi scale and TrendWeight.

I do it once a week but have been known to do it on other days depends on how I feel but always weigh first thing in morning when you wake up

Daily for me as well (for now). First thing in the morning after the bathroom. However, the daily fluctuations don't bother me. If it's down, awesome. If it's up, it's merely a reminder to keep at it. I also record daily and look at the fluctuations over a long period of time. As long as the hills and valleys are showing a downward trend, I don't worry about a bad day or three. Once I get to goal weight, then the scale will mean less and the measurements will tell me if I'm headed where I ultimately want to be - i.e., building more muscle mass which won't show up on the scale (at least not in a lower number). My suggestion is do whatever method will keep you inspired on your journey. We're each a little diffferent in what motivates. For me, it's the scale numbers at the moment and the fact that although I've already replaced a large portion of my wardrobe (doubled over suit pants cinched with a belt don't look all that professional), I will get to do it again once I hit goal. Best of luck to you.

As much as I hate to say this, I am getting addicted to the scale and i think my husband needs to hide it from me! When I first started, I would only weigh in bi weekly (every other friday) I did this so I wouldn't get discouraged if I didnt see much change. As the weight started coming off, I started weekly weigh ins. Now, I get on the scale every day and I shouldn't. I have started intensifying my strength training, and I know that means that the scale is going to slow down. But part of me still has that psychological scale addiction ?! I'm trying to rely more now on my measurements (which I do once a month) than the scale.
