How often do you weigh yourself?
Replies

I do several times a week to keep myself aware, but only count my actual log in day of Friday, which also helps me be more accountable/honest for the upcoming weekend in case I want to get a little sloppy over the weekend.0

I do my best to only weigh once a week which is Friday. Sometimes it's hard not jump on the scale.0

Your weight will go up & down depinding if your doing weights & gaining muscle. Don't get discourage if your weight goes up, the best way to get accurate results is by measuing yourself. If you take measurements every other week & your dedicated to working out you'll see results.0

Every Monday Morning to start a new fresh week. Only been at it for 3 weeks so hopefully I will stick to it and not slowly stop0

I weigh myself once a week, on Fridays. I resist the urge to look at it more often than that0

Once a week-ish. I try not to fixate on a particular day, but I do always weigh myself at the same time of day.0

I weigh everyday but only log it in here once a week. Weighing everyday has taught me not to worry about short-term fluctuations and look big picture. I can do everything "right" and "gain" the next day or the opposite. I really don't pay attention to a weekly number either as it's still a snap shot of that day, tracking daily will tell me that. In other words, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday I could weigh 225 lbs but Monday spiked to 227, maybe because I had to much sodium and/or worked out harder than normal Sunday. If Monday was my weekly weigh in day, it would look like I had a bad week when in fact I didn't.
I look for trends up or down and if I see a trend heading the wrong direction, I make corrections in my calories as my exercise is pretty set.0 -
I weigh myself first thing every Tuesday. I do it Tuesday just because I started my new regime on 1 Jan, which fell on a Tuesday.0

I weigh myself every day, yeah I know I shouldn't but I go up and down like a yo yo. No, I'm not yo yo dieting, thats just how my weight is. I have always been a different size every year..lol0

Every saturday. Saturdays I am too busy, that even if I didn't get to my goal for this week, I still have sunday before its over.0

I try to weigh in once a week, everyday would be to depressing for me if I didn't see a change. I find doing it once a week helps keep my sanity lol.0

I weigh myself everyday, same time. Only track it once a week.0

I weigh everyday, too. It's enabled me to get a feel for patterns... and I'm aware of how much my weight fluctuates daily so I don't let it get to me when it goes up a bit. I also have a better feel for what effects the scale... I know if I list weights, the scale may go up a little and if I run, it usually goes down quite a bit the following day. Do what works for you!0

You need to do what's right for you. I weigh weekly and a Friday. That way if I slip a little on the weekend, it doesn't show up on Monday. Also, at least for me, if I weigh daily, I think I would get bugged if I had a day where I showed a gain. Another thing, weigh yourself at the same time, usually morning is best (they say that you weigh the least in the morning). Good Luck0

I've tried all ways. I must admit to getting on the scales daily but I only officially weigh myself once a week...when I strip off completely, make sure I go to toilet and no fluids! When I went to weight watchers everyone whipped to the loo before the weigh in.0

I was weighing every day but like you it just made me more discouraged! I was obsessed with it. It was horrible. So now it's only once a week for me. It has been hard to not get on the scale just to see but I find it's better for me. Once a week on Monday! Good luck!0
