How often do you weigh yourselves

I also weigh myself everyday.
Pretty much for the same reasons.
When I see my numbers going down I know i'm putting in the right work.
If I see my numbers go up I start to re-evaluate what I am doing.
(And for some reason it has made me drink so much more water)
But I only record my weight once a week

every day. It keeps me from saying, "oh I can eat that today b/c I don't weigh in for 5 more days" etc etc. I don't expect a loss everyday, I just like to make sure the general trend is downward!

i weigh everyday, but i don't let the number affect my mood. fluctuations are natural, and i appreciate knowing how what i ate affects the scale.

:flowerforyou: I weigh twice a week although I only count the reading I get on the friday. I stepped on the scales on friday and had lost a pound but stood on it a day later and was up 0.6 of a pound! You could get discouraged if you weight every day!

I don't have a scale in my house and use my mothers when I go over there...this helps prevent the urge to weight constantly! I would stick to 2 times a week (no more) to ensure you keep an accurate idea of your progress.

All the best

Once a week... on Sunday morning... and the scale gets put away for the rest of the week.

It will drive you nuts... your weight will fluxuate from day to day... today may be a good # and tomorrow is 2lbs heavier and you don't know why. You may be just retaining a lil extra water or even stress can do it. Weighing everyday can be detrimental to your progress, because if you're not seein the #'s shift in the right direction, you may get discourged and think you're doing something wrong.

And on the plus side... as women... we get to skip the week we're on our monthly lol

Hope this helps.

Wow - I'm surprised to see how many of you weigh daily. That would drive me nuts! I do have the urge to weigh myself daily, but I fight it because I get discouraged if I see the number go up - and it does fluctuate throughout the week. I weigh in weekly, and take my measurements monthly. Hey - whatever works, huh? :flowerforyou:

Once a week, at the gym, same time in the morning either a Monday or a Tuesday morning.

I weigh myself every morning on my way to the kitchen to make coffee. I know my weight can fluctuate about 2 lbs or so and I do keep that in mind. But my main reason is to keep the focus of eating healthy in my mind every day. When I get late night cravings, I get on the scale and look at the number ... then go get a drink of water and a few crunchy veggies.

Every day, but I only record it on mondays. I agree with others reasoning.. if it goes down, you know you're doing something right. If it goes up I am motivated to switch it up and try harder.

I personally am weighing myself every three weeks. I read Jared Fogle's book (the Subway guy). He really encourages not using the scale as a crutch to see what you are doing. Let your body tell you by the way your clothes are starting to fit. You are less likely to get discouraged if you don't lose the amount you were hoping for--case in point, my weigh in last Monday was a little discouraging as I only lost 6 pounds the second three weeks, after having lost 17 pounds the first three weeks. But I know it was stressful the last three weeks of school and I look forward to seeing how the summer goes. Use your best judgment; just don't get discouraged.

i weigh every two or three days. my problem is if the numbers are going down, and I am craving chocolate; that is an excuse to eat, because I can treat myself I am doing well. If I weigh more, then I drink more water and count the calories more. I also measure every couple of weeks, especially if the scale stops moving, because when the muscle builds up you wont see it on the scale, but you will see it in measurements.

I weigh every day, because I have to...but I suspect I would even if it wasn't a necessity. I know well enough that weight fluctuates to not get discouraged if I get on the scale and am a pound heavier than the day before--there's no possible way I could have eaten 3500 extra calories. I also know to not get excited if I'm suddenly down a pound or two--there's no way I burned off an extra 3500-7000 calories in one day.

Once a week, I record an "official" weight, but the daily weigh-ins help me track trends.

I really think when to weigh is a YMMV thing...but if you're weighing more than once a day, you might want to ponder why...

When I first started MFP I didn't own a scale and it felt so good not to worry about scales at all and just see how nicely my clothing started to fit after the weight started coming off. After about 5 months I really needed to start benchmarking as I started questions my exercise and eating routine as I became closer to my goal weight.

I finally bought a scale and probably weigh myself once or twice a week. I find I become obsessed if I weigh more than that, and I get upset about fluctuations that happen throughout the week. I try to only weigh when I "feel" thinner in the morning, and if the scale says anything higher than my last I do not record a new weight until I see a loss.

I almost wish I didn't buy the scale, because the way you look in clothing and the way you feel is what matters--but realize having the numbers readily available can give you more information to improve (as long as you don't let the scale depress or rule your life).

During my weight loss it was once a week. Now it's gone I weigh myself every day.

I find it hard to maintain a set weight after I've spent so long losing weight and I'm trying to be careful not to lose any more and equally not to gain any more. With exercises increasing it is easier to weight every day so I can readjust as necessary.
