How often do you weigh yourself?

I weigh myself every single day. I have read online that it's not always a good thing to do that because some people tend to get discouraged when they see their weight has not gone down, or even if it has gone up a little, but as long as you realize that it's normal for the body to fluctuate, then you should be fine. I feel like weighing myself every single day has helped me stay on track. I have learned so much about my body this way, I know what works for me, and what doesn't. I also record my weight weekly. Although I step on the scale every day, I only record my new weight on Sunday's, and this, too, keeps me motivated. It's pretty cool to look back and see how far I have come. I actually look forward to my "weigh in day" every week! Just like everyone else, I have my bad weeks and I have my good weeks. We all hit a plateau eventually, and that is normal. As long as you keep pushing yourself, you will eventually get through it! Good luck!

Also, just like others have stated, the best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning, after you have peed!

If you just started and you don't feel comfortable weighing yourself so soon, just give it another week! Sometimes people's weight will drop dramatically in the first week (due to water loss from burning off glycogen stores; glycogen (a quick energy release carbohydrate storage) will store 3x its weight in water weight), some people don't notice a lot of change in the first month due to changes in diet and exercise. Some people find that if they start a new or different exercise program their body retains water for a couple weeks. If you can't handle looking at the scale and seeing no loss or even a couple pound gain and not being discouraged.. I would just wait. If you know you're eating at a deficit you CAN'T be putting on weight (that requires being very honest in your diary and weighing and logging everything). I generally take solace in the fact that I know any weight gain can't be fat because I'm definitely eating at a 500-1000 calorie deficit every day.

I weigh weekly.

I don't weigh myself anymore. However when my goal was scale weight I weighed once every month.

Bodyfat percentage, tape measure and the mirror are my tools now. I don't really care what the scale says

Every morning

Once every few weeks

Every other week.

I try to weigh once a week or the weightloss becomes so miniscule its no longer a bonus,
Better to see weight coming of in "lumps" rather than teaspoons, The motivation is greater then to carry on.

If you weigh daily then your tempted to miss bits off your diet which can be dangerous,
or put your body in starvation mode, and then you stop losing weight altogether

I used to do it once a week and found it very inspiring. I'm going for once a month now, cos I want to see sudden drops!

Every day. That way you know exactly where you stand and learn not to freak out if you gain a couple pounds.

Weigh myself every day so I can understand how weight fluctuates.

Every morning....
I think it helps to see the fluctuations on the scale

OK, I'm getting it. Weigh myself everyday so I don't freak out.

I do see people who weigh in daily go into a panic over a pound weight gain

Don't weigh yourself every day or you might freak out. :huh:

Problem is if you do it every day your weight can fluctuate

OK, I'm back on track don't weigh myself everyday.

If you can't handle looking at the scale and seeing no loss or even a couple pound gain and not being discouraged.

I don't know if I can handle this, I'm kinda freak'n out right now. I read all the posts over again and I don't know if  should weigh once a week or everyday. Maybe I should spend 5 minutes leaning about how weight can fluctuate. Once I understand that process it shouldn't matter if I weigh myself everyday, once a week or even once a month. Just a thought.
