When Should You Weigh Yourself

I do mine every week, first thing in the morning after I use the restroom. There are times I go every two weeks, but it just depends on what you want to do.

I'm a once a week gal because I can't wait for 2 weeks. I can tell a difference and want to get to the scales:)

I do every Sunday morning.

I record my weight once a week - but I am one of those rare people that weighs themselves daily. This ONLY works if you dont get dramatized over weight fluctuations...but it has worked for me. If I am doing good I want to continue, and if I am not, than I am more motivated to work at it...

Same time, every day (first thing in the morning if you want to see the lowest number) with a digital scale.

I know it runs counter to everybody's advice here but weighing myself every day was the only way I came to understand the natural fluctuations in weight and that losing weight isn't -- can't be -- a straightline process.

So I strongly recommend weighing daily but just take the fluctuations with a grain of salt. All you are interested in is the long term trend.

Twice a week in the AM

A good rule of thumb is every week. Much more than that can make you fall off the wagon a bit. Much less can be hard if your seeing a little gain here and there or very little loss.

That being said, it's really what your comfortable with. I personally weigh myself every morning (I'm not patient enough to wait the week to see how I've done!) For me, it gives me incentive to keep working when I see the small drops and if I see a small gain, it pushes me harder. I just don't allow the scale to get me down in anyway because I know I'm working hard.

Good luck!

Once a week in the morning when been to the loo, must be NAKED! lol

trwice a week here.dont ever weigh your self after a work out thats what i was told at the gym.have a good night.

I personally weigh myself once a week on a Friday afternoon before i hit the gym. I read somewhere that you should not weigh yourself every day because your body weight can fluctuate too much depending on what you have eaten thrughout the day and what the amount of exercise you do in a day. Weighing yourself at early lunch time is supposed to be the best time because you should have at least eaten breakfast and had a snack by this time so your body weight is more accurate than weighing yourself on an empty stomach. But like most people have said it depends on peoples individual preferences.

What i have found helps motivate me is that every Friday i record my weight on my calander in the kitchen so that i can visually see the progress i am making week by week. This stops me from grabbing one of the hundreds of chocolate bars we have in the house. (i still live with the parents who are chocoholics and have a double cuboard filled with what can only be described as a confectionary's perfect customer and a dieters worst nightmare, good job i have will power!)

Good luck with your weight journey!
