DO or DON'T Weight Yourself Everyday??

NO. Throw away the scale and get out the tape measure. Go by how your clothes fit. The scale is just too damn depressing.

My thoughsts exactly! I HATE the scale, but love my measuring tape. I only weigh in every few weeks cause I have to for a challenge at my gym I am in.

I think the best way for consistent and accurate results is weigh yourself once a week.

The time of day is also important I always try to weigh myself first thing in the morning, before eating anything and after going to the toilet. That way body waste / fluid is levels as consistent as possible

You should try to weigh yourself under similar conditions - same location, same scale, same time, wearing same clothes etc.

So far as the weight loss is concerned, you could weigh yourself and keep track of it as a 7-day moving average. That way, any daily variations will be smoothed out and the longer term trend will be more evident.

Everyday, and I am NOT obsessed. I tend to retain alot of fluids, so I like to keep an eye on that.

DONT DO IT

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 :]

i think your obsessed......and i look exactly like simon peggs twin brother......fraternal twin brother.....from a different mother...and father.. Stalk away!!

Daily in the morning before you eat or drink anything reason being is because of water retention which will fluctuate weight had you eaten or drank something.

I say it is all personal preference. If you can take those fluctuations and use them to your advantage then go for it. I see lots of responses and many different ways to use those numbers for encouragement and sucess.

Myself, I weigh everyday, several times a day. Yes of course I see fluctuations but every now and then I get a glimpse of a "Future" number and that is encouraging. I log weekly using the most common low number I have seen. If I were to just log the lowest number I saw then the following week I might not see any loss because that number was caused by dehydration. Sometimes I weigh with clothes on so I know what to expect when I go to the doctor fully dressed and get weighed because obviously with clothes the number is going to be higher. That was always a setback for me to go there and see a number up to 5lbs higher, now I can justify that I know what my clothes weigh and not get discouraged. I also round up and don't go by ounces. Sure maybe I truely lost 2oz but maybe that is just a "fluctuation", seriously in between waking up and brushing my teeth I can go up or down a few oz. So rounding also helps me keep encouraging numbers in front of me.

I'm probably the only one here who weighs herself every day AFTER a full day of eating and drinking water. Sometimes I'll do a morning weigh in before eating and drinking but I just feel like I am fooling myself just going by that number alone.

Nope, not the only one. I weigh myself most days when I get home from work. My fancy scale tells me the best time to measure my BF and muscle is in the evening, on a fairly empty stomach but not right after working out, which makes after work perfect since that is right before my workout.

But even when I weigh in the morning it's not before drinking something since I keep water by my bed and usually kill off whatever is left before getting out of bed.
