How often to you weight in?

I was obsessed with my scale. I was checking everytime I went into the bathroom. I decided to put it away for a month and try to lose weight without the pressure. I lost 7 lbs that way. Without the scale to tell me if I did good or not I could control my day. I didn't beat myself up so no emotional eating.

I am NOT obsessed with the scale - thank goodness!! I make it a habit to weigh in once a week just to keep track but honestly, if I miss a week or two I don't stress about it.

Generally I go once a week. I've become obsessed before and three times a week quickly turned into three times a day which became everytime I walked past the scale. No good comes from that.

I weigh myself first thing in the morning (after evacuating). I prefer to know each day how much I weigh. However, I understand as I lose weight, the numbers will bounce back and forth as they trend downwards. For example, I know that if yesterday's food choices contained a lot of sodium (sushi, soup, ravioli, etc), my weight will be slightly higher. Therefore, the temporary weight gain reminds me to up my water intake to help "flush out" the sodium.

My best answer would be to tell you that the frequency of your weigh in (no more than 1x per day and try to weigh yourself around the same time and same condition as your weight can increase during the day. Also, dont weigh yourself after exercising as your weight loss is due to water loss) should be in line with your goals.

First starting out? Weigh daily so you can see how your nutrition choices affect your weight.
Trying to add muscle? Weigh weekly or monthly or perhaps not at all (take measurements instead).

Once you get a handle on portion sizes and control of your nutrition, it doesn't matter how frequently you weigh yourself. This is strictly a personal choice. If you dont feel like weighing yourself daily but prefer 2x week, then do so. If you no longer care about the number on the scale but only how you look in the mirror, then weigh yourself monthly or not at all.

everybody come join us in the Friday's weigh in Group. Look under community then groups. We are always looking for more friends to join. See you Friday.

I weight in every morning between 5-7 am. Being doing that most of this year. 238 to 213.4 as of today.

Once a week. You can fluctuate too much from one day to the next which can lead to a mental block wrecking your self motivation

You might want to try tracking your sodium.

I weigh in twice a week, at the same time in the morning.

Since I work a standard Monday through Friday, 9 to % schedule; I chose Tuesday and Friday mornings at 7:00 am. Tuesday weigh in allows me to mitigate anything that took place over the weekend, on Monday. Friday weigh in allows me to mentally prepare for the weekend.

I want to do once a week but twice a week keeps me accountable.

Daily.

And ignore the volatile 1-5 pound swings each day.

But whatever you do, don't put a lot of weight on the number. Ultimately, it's just one metric (and not a very useful one at that).

Weight a minute...

Unless he's waying himself in pounds.

I weigh in daily. First thing in the morning after going to the bathroom. I only record the weight here if there's a loss from the previous weigh in under the same circumstances.

Every day, first thing in the morning. And I update my weight here whenever there's a new low, but not when the scale show an upward fluctuation. It's motivating to me, and the trend over time is downward, so the bounces don't bother me. I look at it sort of like a science experiment.

once a week on Thursdays

I weigh every morning, and I only record a loss after seeing it for 3 days in a row. I don't record any gains. Works for me but I know a lot of people don't like doing it this way because fluctuations make them upset, etc.
