My case for weighing yourself every day.

I weigh myself every morning, so you're not alone. It helps me keep track of my water retention... ESPECIALLY around TOM... MAJOR water gain around that time...

Weigh every morning and then take an average weight between Sunday and Saturday.

what's in your headddddddd? in your headdddddd?

I also weigh every day and write it on a calendar. If I get discouraged, I check how much I weighed 6 months ago, and I m always trending downward. Great tool to keep me going forward with my progress.

I've "lost" 8lbs overnight from being dehydrated. I've "gained" 8lbs in a day because of ..... something. All of it is arbitrary when it comes to your actual health and body fat %, which is what you're aiming to reduce - not your body's actual weight, but the chubber.

^^^^^ this

weight does not matter, body fat % does. And body fat % does not change overnight.

If losing no scale weight in a week is going to upset you when during that week you've stuck to your calorie goal, got stronger, fitter, maybe lost half an inch somewhere... then you need to focus less on the scale and more on the bigger picture. Several weeks of not losing anything indicates you're no longer in a deficit and you need to change something (but that shouldn't make you upset.... it's feedback... and you should still recognise other progress you made, e.g. lifting heavier, getting fitter, etc). But one week could be just a blip, e.g. retaining more water that day or whatever... if that is going to mess your head up, you're giving the scale more importance than it deserves. And if you're doing that, then weighing yourself every day isn't going to fix the problem.

However, if you're just using the scale as one of many tools that can aid you in improving your health and don't attach any undue importance to it and can put the number it gives you in the proper context, then it doesn't matter one way or another whether you weigh every day or just once a week or month or whenever it suits you.

Personally, I like to weigh myself every few days(4-6) so the progress is a bit bigger, which is much more satisfying because I know how much our body changes throughout the day, even from water! However, I support whatever people do if it works for them!

I weigh myself everyday, first thing in the morning. I also thinks it helps to see the patterns in reference to weight. I also know if I have drank enough water the day before. I figured out that if I don't drink at least 6 - 8oz cups of water a day I can way as much as three pounds more the next day!

I weigh each day as long as I stay the same weight or show a loss. If I show a small gain I stop weighing for a couple of weeks and then weigh. I always show a loss then. I begin weighing again each day and the cycle continues. I lose pretty slow so this works for me and keeps me from getting discouraged.
