Do you weigh yourself every day or once a week?

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.

I weigh myself mostly every day, and it DOES keep me on track. I can see how some people may find it frustrating, but I find it interesting to see how my body weight fluctuates based on what I ate and did they previous day, and how where I'm at in my cycle effects my weight. I've actually learned to avoid certain foods because of weighing daily - ie when I eat any dairy except greek yogurt, I gain weight the next day - without fail - so I try to avoid eating dairy as best I can. I only "count" a gain or loss if it is maintained for at least 3 days - if after 3 days, my gain hasn't reversed itself, I know I need to either tighten up my eating or be more consistent with my workouts...if after 3 days, my loss hasn't reversed itself, I know whatever I'm doing is working and to keep doing that.

That said, I don't put everything into what the scale says (but where I'm at right now, the scale DOES need to be moving) - I also take measurements and pics once a month, and I do go by how my clothes fit.

Once a month for me.

Daily, just to make sure that I'm on track. Fluctuations are normal and I don't stress it. Mondays are my official weekly weigh-ins, because it forces me to stay on track over the weekends!

i bounce back & forth...i'll go days weighing myself everyday & then sometimes i'll just back off for a few days & not worry about it....i always weigh on friday morning tho

I also weigh myself every morning when I wake up. I know many suggest once-a-week weigh-ins, but like many of you, I find it really keeps me on track. If I weigh the same consistently over 2-3 days, I log it. I feel like frequent weigh-ins help me stay motivated because I can see what eating unhealthy will do to me, and likewise for healthy eating.

I weigh every few days and log any loss here.

I weigh myself every morning. It helps me to learn the rhythms of my body and the normal fluctuations in my weight. It doesn't make me freak out or crash diet. It makes me *aware*, and that's what's important. After having weighed myself nearly everyday for months, I can tell you what is a normal fluctuation, and what is the result of bad choices. I nip "scale creep" in the bud as soon as I start seeing it happen.

I weigh every morning before breakfast. Even if I've lost .2 pounds, it's progress and keeps me motivated and reassures me that all my work is paying off. I need daily motivation like that in terms of numbers (even though some days the scale doesn't change) without having to wait a week. Some days, it's OK if the scale hasn't gone down as it may be that I need reassurance that the scale hasn't gone up if I had an iffy day the day before. It works both ways.

I used to weigh daily. Drove me nuts. Now my official weigh in is Friday. I will weigh in on Wednesday, see where I am. Gives me an idea of where I will be Friday once I've done a few low sodium days. I can usually knock 2lbs off that. I rarely obsess about it. I know if I've had a lot of salt, I know if monthly problems are likely to be a problem, I know if my muscles are sore and I also know if I've had too much carbs. Over time you get to know your body and it freaks you out less. I still refuse to do daily weigh ins because sodium effects me so much. I have to do 2 really low sodium days before my official weigh in.

Zara.

I realize that the scale is probably only accurate once a week but weighing in daily keeps me on track. I purchased a wi-fi fitbit ONE and the Aria wi-fi scale which syncs with my iPhone fitbit app and My Fitness Pal account. This means that every time I weigh myself, it syncs to both accounts & shows all of my friends if I have lost or gained weight. I'm thinking about only weighing myself once a week now because I realize everyone will see my daily weigh-ins which are not accurate. Yeah, I guess I do care what everyone sees & I do appreciate their support in my weight loss. Do you weigh every day or once a week?

First thought is that if it's only accurate once a week then that's the day to weigh on. Seriously, though, and guessing someone has already said this but going ahead and saying it anyway; I weigh on my Aria every day. I have turned off the reporting of losses to my MFP diary, so ony I see the fluctuations. I also sync with www.trendweight.com, which gives a meaningful picture (that only I see).

Once a week to once every couple weeks, only because of how much weight I've lost.
I really need to get a good tape measure and measure myself in inches and then do my measurements weekly.

I weigh about four times a week, but only once a week "officially" at boot camp.

Once a week. Daily fluctuations from water intake, etc. just frustrates me and doesn't really tell me anything. Once a week is a sufficent measurement, besides how loose my clothes have become is pretty noticeable.

I weigh in everyday, but usually only record once a week on Saturday or Sunday morning.

Once a week usually. But this month one of my pals and aren't weighting ourselves until May 1st (month-long ban on the scale)!
