How often do you log your weight?

I weigh daily and track it in an app on my phone but I only record - loss or gain - once a week or so. Used to be every Friday but then I was out of town for a trip so I got back and recorded on a Wednesday and it's been Wednesdays ever since.

I'm an accountant and I like numbers, so you might have to take this with a grain of salt...

I weigh daily, and I record that in a spreadsheet that I have set up. From that data I calculate a 7-day moving average of my daily weights and that is what I pay most attention to -- is it steady or trending down. For me, the 7 day average rarely moves up unless I haven't been following my program.

I record my Sunday weight in MFP just so that I have something in here for reports (and so that I can get pats on the back from my friends). And yeah, if it's up for the week I still record it -- of COURSE I do. It's just information, and if I have crappy information, then I can't make decisions about what's working and what isn't. Garbage in, garbage out and all that.

I weigh myself once a week on Sunday and track that. The only other time I log my weight is if I have to weigh in on a Diet Bet. Gains can be from anything so I mark those too so I can make sure I know how to prevent it in the future.

Hi well I weighed myself 4 weeks ago then again and was disappointed in the scales so I decided not to do it for another 3 months time. I am seeing inch loss on my thighs and waist so I tend not to get disheartened with the scales haha. xx

Every single day, loss or gain. Gives me an idea if I'm plateauing (weight staying the same for a period of time), or if I did something that brought me up and then I'm coming back down. I don't think weekly would give me enough data points to determine whether it was a plateau, or if there was a spike and then the weight came off again.

More data is more better.

I also weigh myself in the evening before bed, but I don't record that. It's just another piece of data I can look at and say "Oooo, this is my lowest evening weigh-in, yet!"

i scale myself daily to see if my methodologies are working okay but i log my weight changes weekly for MFP.

I check my weight on a daily basis.First thing when i wake up in the morning.before eating or drinking anything!
I'm planning to log it Saturdays...it means 4 times per month.

To me it's a way to control my hunger....if my weight increased i control my appetite more...and if it remains the same or it decreases it motivates me to keep up on my weight loss journey and reach my goals.

Despite the fact that i consider logging weight a very important factor in the weight loss journey...but i also believe that body changes are more important than changes on the body scale.

I'm currently taking pictures of my body on the beginning of every month...and i'm planning to track body changes monthly to visualize the result of my struggle :happy:

Good Luck :flowerforyou:

I log once a week. Usually on Mondays, feel as if daily weighing is discouraging since weight can fluctuate during the week.:happy:

I think that sounds pretty cool, actually...a larger number once a month. I might actually try that.

I'm an everyday weigh-in person too. I find it very motivating and it just sets a tone for my entire day...not like "OH I'm down 1 lb, so happy...up 1 lb, so miserable" but it reminds me first thing in the morning about the commitment I've made to be healthier!

As of now, I am at my lowest adult weight of 191 lb. MFP still says something like 193.8 I think. I've been 191.8 and 191.2 for days now but I am waiting until tomorrow to enter the loss because tonight I'm going out with girlfriends and will have an indulgent dinner (WITHIN my calories) and I'm just afraid of logging 191 and then seeing an increase due to sodium and feeling bummed.

USUALLY I log any change I have sustained over 3+ days.

I log every morning (unless I'm out of town, which happens about 1 weekend a month). If I fluctuate small amounts up and down and I log those too.

It's good to know I am not alone! I do the same thing, and get teased about it constantly! I have all kinds if charts and graphs to go along with my data. Hee hee...stats geek I am!

I weigh daily and log all fluctuations (up or down).

I log when I like what the scale is telling me. I only log "gains" once I'm convinced its not water.

I weigh and log weight once a week, on Tuesdays, immediately after getting up but after my, um...morning elimination!

I weigh myself multiple times (usually takes 3x) until the scale reads the same weight two consecutive times to eliminate any external influence like temperature or initialization a scale might do. If I have lost weight or at least not gained, I earn a 200 to 300 calorie treat that week.

I have heard that daily weighing is a good thing but my thinking is that an ounce or two a day isn't going to motivate me one way or the other.

I log food and exercise as close to the time when I consume or do it. Generally, that means just before I exercise or eat (planned) or just after.

I had great success using MFP, exercise, and eating a healthy diet last year: lost 70 pounds!

Every week, more often drives me crazy seeing the ups and downs
