How often do you jump on the Scale?

I weigh every morning BUT it is to record my weight for a weekly average only. I do not let the fluctuations bother me because I can fluctuate sometimes up to 5 lbs depending on what I have eaten the night before, sodium, water intake etc. I log only the weekly average weight once per week so that I have the most accurate picture and eliminate most of the fluctuations from my progression.

If you are a person who will get frustrated with seeing a weight gain overnight then I would highly recommend NOT weighing more than once per week.

I weigh daily, first thing in the morning after using the bathroom. I see the daily fluctuations and I know it's normal, so going up 2lbs one day doesn't bother me because I know later in the week I may be down 3lbs or whatever. Water weight, new exercise, too much sodium, hormones - so many things can affect the scale - and meanwhile my clothes fit the same, so obviously the gains are not fat.

Weighing several times a day will frustrate you to no end - of course your weight will change throughout the day as you eat food, drink water, go to the bathroom, sweat through a workout - totally normal.

If you're obsessed, limit yourself to once a week weigh-ins - make it the same day of the week, same time of day under the same conditions. And grab a tape measure and start recording your measurements a couple times a month. I dropped a full size, losing fat and inches last year while the scale didn't change at all. It's a sneaky little liar at times and can really mess with your head if you let it.

Don't let that number define you or be the only gauge of your progress! Take measurements and photos!

^^ This. I used to only weigh myself once every week or two, but I've become more interested in seeing how what I eat, how much sodium I ingest, my period, etc, impacts my weight, so I tend to weigh myself every day now. I still only record every couple weeks, since weight does fluctuate so much. But if the number on the scale controls how you feel about yourself, I would avoid this; I can be up as much as 8 lb in one day, depending on a variety of factors.

I weigh myself every morning. I wake, use the restroom, run my bathwater and hop on the scale. I don't update MFP until I've sustained a loss over at least 3 days (often longer). For example right now I've been bumping around between 211-214 for a whole week so my weight's stayed at 213 on here.

Like others have mentioned...it helps me to figure out "trends" and how certain meals and sodium can affect me. If I only weighed once a week I'd be paranoid that the numbers were skewed high or low. I couldn't stand that. I do miss a day occasionally if I am really tired/rushed, or if I KNOW I ate too much on a weekend night I may just wait and weigh after 1-2 days of what is normal for me.

^^This right here .......but I weigh every morning no matter what, for logging in the workout log book .....I only look at the trends also .....

Weekly, occasionally in between. Always first thing in the morning.

day and night

i do not own a scale.

I weigh every morning. I have the Fitbit Aria scale, so my Fitbit (and thus my MFP) are updated with my changing weight. It is frustrating to see my MFP ticker go backwards. I know I probably wouldn't manually input my weight on MFP every day, especially for ups! It is motivating to have the ticker always current though.

I also watch trends - my scale is also linked to trendweight.com and I manually record and report a weekly weigh-in on my blog. Friday mornings are my once a week "official" weigh-in.

I have been weighing in every day for years. Unfortunately that didn't stop me from putting on 45 pounds over eight years ... I just watched it. Slow but steady. At least now I'm going in the other direction.

Once a week as long as I'm not on my time of the month. Then I skip the weigh-in because I know there's going to be a gain and I prefer not to be frustrated by that. I've sometimes done twice a week when I've gained water weight or whatever, but no more than that.

As a previous member stated. I weigh in everymorning after using the bathroom. I see the fluctiations but do not let it get my down. My weigh in days are Fridays.

I used to check the scale several times a day... all that did was put me down. Then I started weighing in every morning which soon put me down due to fluctuations. The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning once a week! Stay strong!

I would get on the scale every morning and sometimes at night just to see the difference in the day. I would only log once a week and then sometimes if I got on and their was a better number I would log that too. Bad idea. I would get frustrated by Wednesday (log in day) when the number would go back up. I have decided to do no weigh ins for November. So far so good and haven't gone near the darn thing!

Since I have been keeping track of what I eat, I have been getting on the scale every day. But I only get on in the morning after I get up and use the bathroom. lol ...when I wasn't eating right, I would avoid the scale. Feels good to be back on track.

I weigh everyday, but only record once a month.

I never jump on it. It's clear and, I assume, glass.
