    I havent weighed myself since May.. but today I did a quick weigh-in at the doctors office, and I am proud to say I only gained one pound back since my previous weigh-in..

    I'm at 254.8 :)
    Starting weight: 281

    I weigh myself every Sat am completely naked... It's easier for me to track in a controlled setting

    I understand food and water has weight to it. No need to be so condescending. I weigh myself every morning before I eat or drink anything. The same time every day. Then I might weigh myself at night. I only chart what I weigh in the morning. I just wanted to see if other people notice 2, 3, 4 pound differences from morning to morning.

    Thank you everyone!

    i weigh myself every morning around same time before bath and after peeing. The fluctuations dont bother me. I just observe the trend. If its water weight, i lose it in 2-3 days..if not, then its fat :)
    I also have a monthly weigh in with a doctor..so i know how much average i have lost in a month..works for me..
    I need to weigh daily, else i lose track easily and go back to my early ways of eating loads of food.

    I weigh myself everyday. Somtimes twice. Whatever is the lowest weight, I record it.. The scale is my friend and keeps me accountable. Plus, I just think it is so facinating how your weight can fluctuate.

    I weigh myself once a week, but have found measuring to be a much more accurate way to track my actual progress.

    Every morning before breakfast. If i would weigh my self only one time/week I wouldn't know if i would be that one day my weight where different because of the fluctuations. This gives me a better idea of the weekly trend.

    I weigh daily and look for a trend. I have a scale that syncs online and I can see the average line going down.

    Once a week in the morning after peeing in the exact same place. To weight in more than that is IMO a set-up in frustration.
