How often do you weigh yourself?
Replies

Every morning. But I only count every tuesday.
If I don't keep a check on my weight I tend to get a bit lazy0 -
Once a month or less.0

Every 2-3 weeks, but only if I feel a difference in the way my clothes fit. Weighing too often makes me a little nuts. Logically I know weight fluctuates daily (or even hourly), but it still bums me to see the scale go up. So I wait. Really, the weight trend over time is what matters to me.0

2-3 times a week typically.0

Every few days, because I like seeing the graph jump around.
I don't do it after a big restaurant meal though because I feel the typical higher sodium causes excessive water retention.
Sometimes I'll re-weigh after a long sweaty cardio session, just for the fun of seeing a big dip.0 -
Every morning. Keeps me on track.0

I weigh almost every morning after I wake up. But I only offically track weight once a week.0

Random times throughout the week. I record my weight once a week. If you can handle the natural fluctuation of weight throughout the week, I don't see a problem with weighing more than once. If seeing the numbers go up and down will affect you in a negative way, I say stick to weighing in only once a week.0

1x in the month maybe0

Once a week, but If I feel lighter for some reason, I'll weigh myself. Definitely before the week begins, in the morning making sure I have an empty stomach and then mid-week, in the afternoon.0

I weigh daily and here's why: If I weigh myself only once a week I would allow myself too many cheats within that week with the reasoning that "oh I have 5 days until I weigh in, this will be off by then" etc. If I'm accountable everyday I find I rarely allow myself any cheats. It took me a long time to figure this out but it's been working great for me!0

Every Saturday morning for me. I do step on during the week, but my weight fluctuates drastically during the week that it can be quite frustrating if I let it get to me. The number on the scale can definitely mess with your mind!0

I used to weigh once a week, but now it's more like every 2 weeks, since my weight loss has slowed the closer I get to goal. I get frustrated. LOL Once I am in maintenance I will weigh daily I think.0

Every day. Weighing daily helps me see the fluctuations after sushi, after wine night, when I ovulate(d), with PMS, etc. etc. etc. Helps me see trends, and thus not stress over the daily ups and downs.0

Every day. I log in my weight if changed at 7 day intervals.0
-
Once a week - first thing on Monday mornings0
-
Twice a week. This way I always see a loss and this keeps me going.:happy:0
-
Every morning before coffee and breakfast. And then before and after exercise. I just want to be sure that this weight i lost - is really lost! I still can't believe it when i see i am 25 lbs down! Really - I can't!0
-
i used to do it everyday but it determined my whole daily mood and what i ate and controlled my life pretty much so now its either once a week, or when i notice a little change in the mirror and want to know if its just me being positive, or a real change0

I weigh every few weeks.0
