Do you weigh yourself every day or once a week?

I weigh myself everyday, because I like to have an idea how I'm doing. I know that daily fluctuations are normal, so it doesn't stress me out. I "officially" weigh in on Fridays.

This is word for word what I was going to post

I usually weigh myself everyday or so in the morning just because it fascinates me how much we fluctuate from day to day. Like one day I was unusally thirsty and drank a TON of water (over 3 liters) and the next morning I was 3 lbs heavier LOL :laugh:

I only officially weigh in once a week though on Fridays and do measurements at the same time because I like the record to be standardized.

:flowerforyou:

I weigh every day.
mainly because I am inpatient.

I weigh every day, but I only record my weight every 2 weeks. I record my measurements at the same time. I expect to lose about 1 lb every 2 weeks.

Ditto, my weight can fluctuate by anything up to 7 lbs after a heavy lifting sessions so i check in with myself but only record once a fortnight on a friday morning first thing after going to the bathroom, and completely stakers lol

every day and it needs to stop

Once a week.......sometimes once every two. Our success can't be judged on one day or week's, weight loss.

I weigh twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening. That way I have an idea of where I stand. However, my 'official' weigh in day is Wednesday. That is the weight that I record.

I weigh myself like... every time I see a scale. I'm obsessed. If I don't go down every day or if I fluctuate more than just a lb or so, I get really irritated.

I know, I know... I should NOT be so hung up on the scale... but I am.

Currently I'm staying with relatives & access to a scale isn't as readily available (I'm used to weighing EVERY time I go to the bathroom at home & the only scale in the house now is in my aunt/uncle's private bathroom so I try not to intrude in their space).

However, I work at a doctor's office so I weigh myself on the "legit" scale almost every day, sometimes a couple of times a day (as often as I can get away with without coworkers questioning me). This also allows me to see the variations between my home scale & the office scale, so I know if I'm really staying on track or not.

The good news is, since I haven't had much access to an in-home scale, I'm paying more attention to the physician's scale (which is always a lb or two higher than the in-home which I felt to be more accurate) so when it says I've lost more, I get really excited which is fun. It also doesn't allow for the tenths of a lb to stress me out bc you just adjust the scale to as close to a half lb as possible & I think that has helped me obsess a little less as well. Before, sometimes seeing even 6/10ths of an increase would stress me out. That doesn't happen now since I'm FORCED to limit my weigh ins.

Sorry, this was totally a TL; DR post for absolutely no reason. Hah!

i don't know how weighing everyday keeps anyone on track. i heard someone else say they do that too. it's not an accurate reading as far as goal setting so "how" exactly does it keep anyone on track? I weigh once a week, if that. I go by the way clothes fit and how I look and feel. It keep frustration low. Besides, if you build any muscle, you will GAIN weight sometimes. I see people feeling all low because they are gaining weight and losing fat and don't even realize it's a good thing.
