How often do you weight yourself?

@ Sarah.. Yea that sounds about right

I make it a guessing game. LOL. It's silly, but a habit.

I weigh first thing in the morning every day, enter it in the hacker's diet website, and watch the trend. I often weigh in more times during the day to get a gauge of how much my weight fluctuates. If didn't do it more often, some of the inevitable water retention ups would bother me more. Now I know they are temporary.

Everyday, and multiple times during the day. Things I notice, the weight of water I drink (& I try to drink lots of water, knowing that doesn't affect the scale in the long run). I notice I'm lightest in the morning, after I go to the bathroom. Evening after dinner (my largest meal often) is often the heaviest I am during the day. But between night and morning I always lose weight. Also, to keep things standardized I weigh with only the emperor's new clothes on when I'm looking for some precision. While I am disappointed to see it go up, or not down by as much as I've wanted, I accept it's the sum of everything I've eaten and done, and that the number has some mystery behind it. How many of the lbs are water weight, new muscle, lost fat, lost muscle, lost bone, and I just got a big haircut too, so I lost a few ounces there!
That said, still using weight as a general barometer, but making sure to stay active, eat conservatively below my calorie goal, don't cheat (and if I go over one day, make sure I exercise and am below the next day---I even try to make up those extra calories). Also, I notice that my digital scale does not always repeat the same measurement twice in a row, if I stand on it a little differently.
I weigh in for posterity/recording in the morning after full void, but generally add a lb to the # I post here as it gives me buffer to feel I'm trending down consistently, and to reflect that by lunch I'm always at least a lb more due to water and foods in my belly. I have on occasion judged what I ate in the past 36 hours by how I weigh, but I'm moving away from that some as there is more fluctuation in my non-1st am weigh in than anything else.

I've begun once a week on Mondays. If mid week though I am a bit curious I will weigh in say Thursday/Friday. If I see a gain i try not to dwell, reassess what I have been doing and try and change it for the next Monday

As above. Once a week. I can't imagine doing it every day, I'm not that obsessed plus the readings would be all over the place.

I weigh in on Monday evenings at a weight loss support group, and maybe once during the week at work. I don't own a scale and I think, for me, that is a good thing!

I weigh myself every morning. Whenever the number's down, I'll feel good and try to not over-eat. But if the number's up, I get stressed out. I should stop. lol

I posted the following on my blog -

" I keep seeing advice on the forums to only weigh weekly because of 'fluctuations'. However these people never seem to realise that fluctuations can happen weekly as well as daily particularly for those trying to lose a pound a week (I try for 3). I have found if I am away all week and weigh myself the morning after my return, I am invariably the same or heavier than before I went away. Strangely if I then drink normally, over the next two or three days I lose a lot, sometimes 3 to 4 lbs. It's pretty clear this is due to water retention due to two reasons, one is not drinking enough, it can be difficult when travelling, two is eating in restaurants where the meals tend to be higher sodium than my normal. A few cups of tea and glasses of water a day and I am back to normal.
When I'm working from home and drink normally, I weigh myself first thing every morning after the toilet visit and every morning see the scale move downwards. I have not had a single day where it remained the same or increased that I could not put down to sodium or less fluid intake, and it has always righted itself the following day(s).
So if you're weighing weekly and see no change, or god forbid, an increase, don't get despondent and demotivated, make sure you drink enough and try again the next day."

I weigh myself every Saturday morning, i don't weigh more often than that as your weight can vary by as much as 2.2lbs throughout the day, and i get really disheartened when i put on weight so only weighing once a week keeps me more motivated than weighing every day!

Also i think the people who weigh a couple of times a day is overly obsessive!

Although my wife tells me to forget the scale I weigh myself everyday. She seems to think you can tell if your clothes fit.

Have been eating healthy & watching calories for 6wks without weighing.Will be weighed the 17th at Dr's appointment.That will tell the tale.My plan is to weigh in every 2 weeks & yes,will be looking to lose.

Every Tuesday, hope for a loss.

every morning after I get up, but I only log usually thurs or friday mornings.. a tleast if I do it everyday I know what to expect thurs or friday

Why do so many of us that weigh everyday act like were doing something wrong. I own it. Another thing if my whole life I weighed myself everyday I doubt I would be over 100 Lbs. overweight. Because someone (expert) says weigh once a week, that is the way it must be? Give me a break. You know the experts say drink glasses of water everday. That is so wrong. Can you tell me a 300 Lb. person should drink the same amount of water as a 100 Lb. person. That makes no since.
