Scale VS Measurements?

Measurements are the best way to measure your accomplishments, since muscle weighs more than fat, and the scale doesn't necessarily reflect that. The best option for me is to measure a difference in how my clothes fit. If I try on the same shorts every week, or even every two weeks, I should feel better about the way they look each week. Also, taking pictures is a great way to monitor your progress.

I weigh my self once a week, I wish I would of measured myself starting out. I have a rough estimate based off my old clothing sizes. I think I've lost more inches than pounds, every-one says I look way less than I weigh. I do measure myself now, but not on a set schedule, just whenever I feel like it, maybe once a month or every other month.

I weigh more often because it's easier - step on, read the number, step off. Measuring takes a bit more time. However, I am much more interested in measurements to gauge my progress than scale numbers. I dropped a full size without losing any weight on the scale, and I've seen people drop scale numbers yet remain the same size - so measurements show better progress in my opinion.

I weigh myself daily out of habit, and I measure about once a month.

I am a scale girl. I like to see the numbers go down at my feet.
I dont think I could measure my body accurately enough to warrant doing it.
When my pants fall off me I will know the inches are falling off as well.

I try to weigh myself AND take measurements once a week. Sometimes I forget (as I try to do it before breakfast but at that time of the morning I'm hopeless) and so then it might be two weeks, But I always do both.

I actually only realised recently that you could add extras to what you measured on MFP (I thought it was just the standard neck/waist/hips that it came with) and got so excited. Measurements are much more useful in my opnion, but I still need to know what I weigh. If my weight goes up and my measurements are down/the same then I feel ok. If my measurements go up too though then I know I've got to lift my game.

I weigh daily and measure + take pictures on the first of each month.

I don't think there is a right way to do it, and this works for me.

I do not measure, Not worried about measurements. Weight loss it for health. I try not to put too much pressure on myself and lose the weight slowly and responsibly. I only weigh once a month. And it is surprising I usually meet my goals or come very very close. Weighing and measuring weekly only gives you mental pressure. Because you never lose weight equally. So one week maybe one pound and the next 5 pounds doing the same thing. Pressure is where so many people give up. And giving up is not an option!!!!!!

I just try and do a "check in" each week on a Saturday morning/afternoon - I weigh myself and measure myself at the same time. I find it' sthe best way - it's tempting to weigh myself more often, but it fluctuates so much in the week.

I find Saturday morning is the best way, because I have a bit of a lie-in, and I haven't eaten anything, so in theory it should be my lowest weight of the week.

One week, I gained a tiny amount (something like 0.3lb) but lost like 2-3cm off my hips & waist measurements! I was pretty pleased with that!

I weigh myself daily, but only record it once a week. I also measure and take pictures monthly.

A combination of the two.... Body fat percentage is what is more important than raw scale data... Both measurements AND weight factors into this figure so both are important.
