I weigh myself everyday.

I weigh once a week - weight can change 2-3 lbs on a daily basis because of things like water retention, salt intake, extra sweating, etc...

If you insist on doing it daily, then I would recommend doing a weekly graph and make sure that the general trend is at least flat and hopefully down

I find if I weigh myself everyday then I get de-motivated when I don't see a miraculous drop because I've been "good" the day before. In reality, weight goes up and down throughout the week due to water etc.
Be true to yourself - fill in your diary, keep to your calorie count and try to do some exercise - from my experience the scales will then look after themselves!!
Good luck!

Yes, the day to day fluctuations may mess with your mind. If frquent weighing is too tempting, one thing to consider is an app or program that trends weight. Similar to graphing but it does the work for you. I have used "Libre" but there are plenty other apps and even websites (such as https://trendweight.com/) that are just as good, I am sure. Best wishes...

Your weight will fluctuate daily. I weigh every day and my weight will vary by a couple of pounds some days. Also some weeks I won't lose anything and some weeks I'll lose more than my calories would indicate I should have lost. If you track your weight over time you'll have a better idea of whether you're losing or gaining. It' sometimes hard NOT to become obsessive about that number on the scale but remember it's just ONE measurement - and not always a terribly accurate one.

I used to weigh myself in only once a week. It was good for me before I lost a larger amount of weight - that way I only saw the larger downward trend. Now I weigh in on a daily basis, so that I can see properly what certain foods and caloric amounts/activity amounts do to affect me, and I've learned good information from it.

Weighing yourself daily is unnecessary and will most likely drive you crazy. I fluctuate weight through any given week and at most a once a week weigh in at the same time/ same day gives a better reading of long term weight loss efforts. I stopped weighing myself about 2 months ago, I have lost inches, feel amazing and got tired of judging my self worth by the number on the scale, as normally it would send me into a downward spiral of self hate.

I weigh daily because it motivates me but I don't let it screw with my head if I'm up a pound or two. You probably should go to weighing once a week

This!

I have been weighing myself daily for several years. I see the daily fluctuations and don't let it bug me. I see the patterns and know that a few pounds gained or lost is totally normal - like today, I'm up from yesterday, about 3lbs up from a week or so ago....but my clothes still fit the same, it's not a 3lb fat gain. So many variables - exercise, hormones, salt, water, whatever. It doesn't bug me because I know I'm making progress despite what the silly scale says.

Grab a tape measure, record your measurements, take some pics for later comparisons and pay attention to how your clothes are fitting. And weight once a week or even less if it's going to drive you mad.

I weigh myself every morning and track each weigh-in using an app called Weight Bot. I used to get discouraged if I didn't see a loss or if there was a gain, but I've become more interested in the science-y side of weight loss and fitness and I like to see and decipher any trends so I know what works or where I might see improvement.

For example, I went out to eat last night and went over my daily calorie allotment by at least 1000 calories and consumed a great deal more sodium than I typically do - this morning I saw a nearly 2lb gain on the scale, but I know it's probably because I'm more than likely retaining water from the increased sodium intake. The water retention could also be contributed to muscle repair from the strength training I did yesterday morning as well.

Weighing oneself everyday is not for everyone though - if you're more likely to get discouraged than to look at the trends, it might be worth your sanity and motivation to cut down to weekly, if not bi-weekly weigh-ins. Good luck!

I weigh daily. I only log highs and lows that show up more than one day in a row. Meh. If it stresses you out, only do it once a week, if it doesn't (it doesn't stress me out), then keep doing it, just do it at the same time of day as part of your routine to keep as many constants as possible. My weight can fluctuate multiple lbs during the day, so I do it every morning after I pee when I wake up.

it's really preference.

Hi - I don't have scales in the house because I become obsessive and it can get me down. I joined today and plan to get weighed once per week. Can see how it would wrk for some tho as a motivation tool. Good luck

I weigh daily, and don't let the daily fluctuations bother me. I have found it enlightening to see how diet can temporarily affect the scale, and then it returns to "normal". I find that understanding how my body works enlightening, and it totally removes any stress that weighing daily might create.

One question for the people who insist that daily weighing stresses them out, so only weigh weekly. What does/would happen if on "week A", you weighed in and it was your lowest weight of that week, then on ""week B", you weighed in on the highest day of the week, and the scale was telling you you gained 3 lbs., but the reality is if you had weighed the day before you might have been down a lb.? Wouldn't THAT freak you out more? Wouldn't you want the data from the other days that proves you didn't really gain?

I too, weigh daily. It serves to motivate me one way or the other. If it's up, it spurs me on to focus harder. If it's down, it motivates me to continue on. I also know that there are many reasons for fluctuations and don't let it affect my ultimate goal.

That wouldn't really stress me out. I keep very good track of calories in and calories out. If my log didn't show a 10,500 calorie surplus then I'd know it is most likely water weight. I'd log it, and move on. The next week should show a better number.

I've had weeks were my deficit shows I should lose more than I actually lost, and other weeks where I have lost more than my deficit would predict. I do sometimes get on the scale mid-week, but it isn't 'official' until my Monday morning weigh in.

I think everyone has to find out what works for them. Also measure success other methods - measurements, bf%, how clothes fit, etc.
