in Health and Weight Loss
How often do you guys weigh in? Twice a month? Once a month? I have yet to buy a scale and I'm afraid that if I do I'm going to be one of those kind that weigh themselves EVERYDAY-lol!
So...how often?

    Personally I check every time I go to the gym, about 5 days a week. But I know not to expect any loss or changes til about the end of the week. Its usually about 1-2 pounds less a week atm.

    I weight myself every morning...which is probably not the best idea but I do it anyways. Its better to weigh yourself once a week. Its easier to get discouraged if you do it every day.

    I did Weight Watchers a couple of times, which required me to weigh in once a week. Unfortunately, I would weigh myself a couple times a week, and sometimes on my actual weigh in day it was higher than any other day. I used to get really disappointed and discouraged. This time around, I plan on weighing in every 2 weeks, and trying to not get as discouraged and focusing more on being healthy and on non-scale victories!

    Weeklys good for weigh ins, that way you give yourself enough time to see changes, as your weight can fluctuate daily but it still keeps you focused on your target of losing weight!!
    However, dont become too obsessed with the numbers!! its better to feel healthy and eat healthy then it is to only rely on a number on a scale. Listen to your body to see is you feel healthier

    I weigh in weekly, but I'm thinking about weighing in every 2 weeks instead.

    i try to do it only once a week. My weight can go up and down a lot, if i weigh in on a daily basis. I find that i can see more of a loss if i weigh in one time a week. It is super easy to get obsessed and start weighing every day or multiple times a day

    Everyday. Works for me, not for others. There is no right or wrong answer to this question.

    Everyday for me as well I just not get too obsessed with the odd up day, When it is up for 8 to 10 days in a row it is time to do something about it. :grumble:
