When ( what time of day) and how often (daily, once a week etc) do you weigh yourself?

    Second thing on Monday morning. I don't weigh myself during the week because weight fluctuates from day to day.

    This.

    I also weigh on Monday morning as soon as I wake up, then log it in my fitness journal next to my macros for the week.

    I try to do it fridays first thing, but I do it periodically throughout the week as well. I only update my weight once a month when I get weighed by my doctor though.

    More often than i should. :bigsmile:
    Seriously, I have been monitoring my weight for trends during maintenance, so first thing every morning after poddy and before dressing.

    Every Saturday and Sunday, first thing in the morning, before eating or drinking anything.

    I occasionally weigh myself at random times during the week just to see how much my weight fluctuates due to water weight, but I never stress out over those numbers.

    3-5 times a day? I dont care what it says so much but just like seeing where its at. It fluctuates 1-5 pounds a day.

    Three or four times a day, however I like to have a large collection of information regarding the normal fluctuations of my weight in a day/ week - etc. I only log a weight loss when I start to regularly hang out in a lower weight range.
