I weight myself once a week, at the most. During TOM I don't bother stepping on the scale at all :noway:0
-
This week I weighed in 3 times...but starting on Monday I will weigh myself only two times...on Monday and Friday. I want to go into the weekend hopefully feeling motivated to stay on task.0

I weigh in every morning at approxiamtely the same time. My "official" weigh in is on Friday morning.0

I weigh myself, every Sunday mornin', right after I get up and pee, and nakedThen I don't look at the scale the rest of the week. I've found that by doin' this, I worry and stress less about my weight. Seein' it fluctuate from day to day used to drive me crazy!0

everyday i workout since i use the scale at the gym. i started a spreadsheet in June that records my weight each time so it encourages me and i learn a lot about my fluctuations.0

I have weighed myself twice in the past month. I am not that much overweight, but my body fat percentage is way high. I need to rely on how I feel because I can't expect to lose more than 10-15pounds in total. If it doesn't bum you out, you can weigh yourself 10 times a day. If you are easily unmotivated, I would stick to once a week tops.0

Once a week and at same time at day of the week. Please don't weigh yourself daily. You'll drive yourself crazy.
Drives YOU crazy. I'm fine with daily weighing.0 -
I stopped weighing myself regularly because I became discouraged with the fluctuations and I was more inclined to overeat due to frustration. Now I weight about every two weeks but I don't have a specific day in mind. I wait until I don't feel bloated, TOM isn't an issue, and I am not retaining water for any specific reason. I weigh in the morning after using the bathroom and before eating anything. If the circumstances surrounding my weigh ins are consistent then I can't make excuses for myself. It seems to be working well for me.0

I only weigh myself on days that I look at myself naked and feel smaller/thinner. I don't like getting on the scale and finding out I haven't lost weight or have put on weight. So far, every time I have weighed myself, I've seen weight loss! :bigsmile:0

Every six weeks. I like to see bigger numbers.0

I weigh myself every Friday. More than once a week and I go crazy.0

Everyday! Helps me set my goals for the day and tells me if my decisions easier in the week had consequences I was willing to live with. Minor fluctuations don't phase me so daily isn't an issue for me.0

I weigh myself once a week. Typically, Monday morning after I use the bathroom. That's supposed to be the most 'accurate'. You also should remember that if you know you've been following your diet and exercise routine to a tee, but the scale hasn't budged, it shouldn't discourage you at all. The progress is still happening!

Can't walk past the damn scale without wanting to hop on.
sooo at least once a day.
I am it's slave and it laughs at me.
bye....... later0 -
I generally weigh-in once a week: same time, same place. If, however, I feel like something has changed (I "feel" lighter or heavier,) I will do an interim check: a positive result helps me stay on track and a negative result will help me tweak my routines so that, hopefully, by weigh-in, I will see results. I don't jump on the scale more than twice a week and never more than once a day.
I see that some people who weigh-in on a daily basis post their average weight on weigh-in days, others the median weight.
What ever works best for you: If you think daily checks help you stay on track, keep doing it; but if it's turning into a compulsive behavior pattern, I would try and nip it in the bud and use another measurement tool like a tape measure or jeans fit to measure your progress.

I usually take my weight every morning just to get an idea of how I'm doing, but I only officially record it once a week.0

I've weighed every day for my entire adult life. I don't obsess with the fluctuations, but if the trend is upward, I know I need to do something about it before it gets out of hand.
I have stayed within a healthy 12-lb. range this way (with the exception of pregnancies) for my entire adult life.0
