Anyone Weigh in Every Day?

I try not to. its can get unhealthy and demotivating.

I weigh everyday, it's part of my routine.....get up, have a wee, wash my hands, weigh, have a shower etc.

I find I'm less hung up on the actual number as long as the trend of the numbers are going in the right direction.

I'm not sure it necessarily makes a difference

If you're easily demotivated, I wouldn't suggest it. Normal daily fluctuations for women can be many pounds, and totally unrelated to anything you are doing or not doing.

That said, I weigh myself every day. My primary goal isn't scale related though.

I used to weigh myself every day but it started to get depressing. I start obsessing over every little ounce that fluctuates from day to day. I'm not sure if it's the same for men, since they don't have the added hormonal stuff going on, but I'll never do it again. I weigh in once a week, except for when I'm on my monthly cycle and then I skip that week.

Yes; I'm a bit neurotic, I don't eat clean, I'm definitely an "if it fits your macros" kind of girl, so weighing daily helps me pay attention- i might not have "overeaten" per se, but if I see a fluctuation I don't like, I refer to *what* I ate and how it might affect things.

I do but I would prefer if I could do it weekly. I'll get there one day.

I weigh myself daily, just to see how the previous days food and activities affected my weight. I don't concern myself with the fluctuations, just the overall trend - as long as my weight is trending downward, I'm good. I record my weight daily in an app, but only log my weight in MFP when it is a new low.

Sometimes 4 or 5 times a day. It can move 10lbs a day, because of water weight changes. Time of day.

I do *because* I know it could fluctuate by four pounds on a day to day basis. If I pick the wrong day, it's going to look like I gained weight when I actually lost weight. It makes for a noisy curve, but the downward trend is there all the same.

Not sure I would want to weigh in every day like to be surprised by loss each week

I AGREE!!!! With everything she said! Yep, weighing in daily shows you rather its a consistent loss or gain in order to change something up and make the numbers keep going down.. Its better than weighing in on a specific day and then seeing weight gain on that day will make you feel bad >

I weigh everyday because otherwise you could end up being a lot more depressed in my opinion if your weigh in day happens to be on some horrible upwards fluctuation day. I don't stress if it bounces up as long as it doesn't stay up, and since I weigh everyday I can see whether it goes down the next day or not, and if it's still up several days later then I know that maybe I need to look at what I'm doing and make a change.

Yes, but not for weight!

I take a dry weight (after waking up and using the bathroom, but before drinking anything) every morning to help manage my water balance. I know I usually vary about 3.5lbs over the course of the day, and that my scale, as precise as the electronic ones seem, is actually randomly off by about a half pound. So my "weight" can change by almost five pounds without it actually representing any real change.

The way I *use* the weight is pretty simple though. It's right there in the bathroom, so I just take my weight whenever later in the day, and if it's *lower* than the morning dry weight, I can be pretty certain that I should drink another pint of water.

Why? Because I wake up a pint or two short, and since a pint's a pound, I know that my "hydrated" weight is a couple of pounds over my morning dry weight, so even if I burn a half pound during the day, and the scale is off a half pound the other way on the next reading, any time I reach the morning dry weight is pretty likely to mean "need water".

For my weight change measurements, I use a trend line through the last weeks dry weights. That might just be a mathematician thing though.

I weigh everyday, by doing so it helps me to diet on a "daily" basis. That means that I refocus on what I need to do "that day", not tomorrow or when I feel like doing it. If I stick to my diet on a daily basis I am being consistent which means no yo yo dieting. A few times when the scale showed a gain instead of a loss it was usually due to water weight so I focus on eating low sodium and low carb to get rid of that water weight. I am starting to work out more so I know that I will gain muscle which weights more than fat so I will have to adjust my weight loss expectations for that as well.

I do too, just to make sure I am on track and not gaining again. I used to ignore the scale and the pounds crept up.

I am currently. It's been really interesting to watch my weight go up and down like a yo-yo.
