DO or DON'T Weight Yourself Everyday??

I can weigh myself every morning without it driving me crazy...others can't. I only more"weigh in" once a week but I just like to keep an eye on it. I think if it doesn't drive you crazy then weigh whenever you want.

Daily. My weight fluctuates too much from day to day to just weigh weekly. Weighing daily helps to keep me accountable and to stop and upward swings before they get too out of control.

This depends solely on you. Do you know and understand what the number on the scale means? Do you know and understand natural weight fluctuations and why they occur? Do you understand that it is scientifically impossible to gain or lose a 1Lb or 5 Lbs or whatever of fat over night...do you understand the science of all of this?

If the answer to the above questions is yes, then you'll probably be fine weighing daily. If the thought of watching your weight fluctuate as much as 5 Lbs on a daily basis bothers you then I'd do weekly or even every couple of weeks. I like daily because I like to analyze data (which happens to be my job)...so I like having lots of data to work with and doing graphs and charts and whatnot....I understand all of the science behind this and I understand natural weight fluctuations, including those induced by my workouts...which happened to cause me t be up 6 Lbs today from yesterday :laugh: I understand these things, so they don't bother me.

i check every day but only record me weight Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I weigh myself every morning, after using the bathroom, before eating or drinking anything. I only count the losses.

I have decided to weigh myself every 10 days, and to take a new picture every ten days. I think It's going to be helpful for my mind set in the long run. It keeps me off the scale and taking the picture I think will help me notice little changes.

Every day, several times a day. Not because I'm obsessed,but because knowing that the number I see on the scale changes every hour or two depending on SO man different things makes me feel better.
Yesterday I 'gained' 8 pounds. If I hadn't weighed myself a few hours before and seen a number I was more comfortable with, I probably would've had a heart attack

But then I decided to be reasonable. I said "HM, I woke up around 180 pounds, why would I be falling asleep at 188? Did I eat that many calories? Most certainly not! So if I wake up tomorrow at 186 I can probably continue to be calm!"

I record whenever I see a loss, usually once a week :]

Exact same thing. Weigh like crazy, record whenever you drop below your previous lowest.

I do this everyday....makes me crazy:)

I feel exactly the same way. I have only owned a scale for 2 weeks now and I weigh almost every day to get an overall idea. Then I "officially" weigh-in every Monday morning when I wake up. The number seems to be pretty representative of the real number and it doesn't bug me if there was 1 day earlier in the week when I weighed in at 1-2 lb less. I'd rather know that though.

Once a week... otherwise I get frustrated by the bouncing up & down.

When I started I weighted 4 times a day. I know - can we say obsessed?

BUT, it turned out to be a way to gain rather useful information - I was able to get a handle on how much my weight varies from normal water/food/etc over the course of a day which helps me to not freak out if I "gain" a couple pounds from one day to the next since I know it is normal for my body. I found I gained about 5 pounds from morning to night so I know this window of error is nothing to freak out over since it is likely just water and I know I did not eat 17500 extra calories overnight!

Once I got a grip on that, I moved to once a day and then weekly. Now I am within 10 pounds and weight only monthly because it comes off much slower now.
