How often do you weigh?

I weigh every morning....it shows me if I am working hard enough in the day to day but I only record my weight once a week on fridays. I know some think it is obsessive to weigh every day but I would hate to get to the end of the week and know that I wasted a whole week and went no where...it keeps my focused on my day to day.

I weigh myself daily, and logged weekly when I was actively losing - I am at maintenance now. Now I only log if there is a change in he weekly numbers.

I find it interesting to see how my weight changes throughout the week - usually varies within +- 1 lb day to day.

I log once a week, usually. I was weighing in every Friday but I'm suddenly so fascinated by weight flucation that it may become every day. I'm logging the daily elsewhere and building a sweet sweet graph. I don't take it to heart (Oh, I lifted, scale went up. Oh I had a lot of sodium, scale went up. Oh I'm bloated, scale it up.) but it's really very very interesting. To me, at least.

I weigh every day. My official weigh in is on saturdaysSaturdays at my weight watchers meeting. It doesn't bother me if my weight fluctuates daily. I do it because seeing the number in the morning motivates me to eat right right and to exercise.

I weigh myself daily. I am a nurse and I have a scale in my office staring at me every second of the day. I know it's not healthy. I also know not to put too much stock in what it says from day to day. I am only going to record and "count" a once weekly weight. I have set this day to Mondays...but only because that's when I started the diet. Just curious how others track their weight. :bigsmile:

Since I've started, I've weighed myself every day as well. I record every time I lose. That way, when I come in at a slightly higher weight on a subsequent day, I'm more motivated to work hard in my workout, and keep to the dieting goals.

I weigh everyday. It's almost a game. I am excited to see the scale move as I lose. When I get the courage to start p90x again I will need to weigh in less and measure more but I don't know if I can.

Every day. If you're at maintenance or close to goal, fluctuating between one or two pounds is normal. It's interesting to see the pattern/correlation of what you ate and what causes the fluctuate. I don't think it's unhealthy, I read an article that tested people who weigh daily lost more than the test group who only did weekly.

I weigh daily or every 2 days or so but I only count Wednesdays, In July I will start recording Monday's for a challenge group.

I weigh first thing every Saturday morning, unless TOM has come to visit. Then I put it off for a week.

I used to be obsessed with the scales when attempting to lose weight in the past. But this time, I'm doing it all differently because this IS the time. The last time. Instead, I focus on making all the right choices, I focus on making sure I get my exercise in, and I focus on drinking my water. I track this, not my weight, as these are my daily goals. In fact, I don't have a scale at home anymore except for a little kitchen scale which I use to do 'quality control' on portions. I get weighed on Wednesday at TOPS and for the most part, my weigh in pretty much mirrors the successes I've realized with my weekly choices. I like this much better because it helps me remain so aware of everything I've done...on the things I can control. All good!

WOW, it really surprises me how many people weigh themselves every day. I stopped weighing myself every day awhile back, to many fluctuations from day to day.

Funnily enough I only used to weigh myself every couple of weeks when I was losing - I didn't even own a pair of scales and used to weigh in at the gym on a Sunday morning.

However, I have been on maintenance now since last October and at Christmas just past I got a set of Aria wifi scales. Since Christmas I have weighed in every single morning. I am not obsessed by what they say - I don't get upset or feel a lack of self worth at the numbers they show.

What I have done is just record it all on my fitbit over the past 6 months, and I now have a lovely graph of my daily fluctuations.

On the 'weekly' view, the fluctuations show a big roller coaster - on the monthly view, it becomes gentle rolling hills - by the 'three' months view, you can practically draw a straight line through the points.

So it depends on your perspective: In the short term, the scales fluctuate because of all sorts of reasons - so scales are really little use in the short term to measure progress. However, they are useful for registering long term trends, which is what I now use it for.

I weigh every morning and log on a calendar so I can keep track of fluctuations. I log ALL losses on here (even 0.1 pounds), and any gains over 3 pounds (I've found that's my "normal" fluctuation amount).

i weigh every morning when I wake up, and every evening before I go to bed.

Honestly, I don't weigh anymore and if I do, it is ONCE a month. I seriously hate the scale, I am trying to build muscle, therefore the scale may go up for me and when I see a larger number on there, I freak out. I find if I stay away from the scale, I am more determined in my workouts and stop obsessing over the stupid number.
