How often do you weigh yourself?

Yeah that's fine. Just make sure you do it at the same time of day as well. So if you weigh in on Monday mornings make sure you make your weekly weigh in on Monday mornings only. Weight can fluctuate throughout the week from 3-5lbs or sometimes even higher/lower weights. It can make you absolutely nuts if you weigh in every single day and you can become unhealthily obsessed with the scale. I also do measurements so that when the scale doesn't budge I have another weight of measuring my progress and having non scale victories.

I do it daily. I think it's fine since I don't freak out at the daily fluctuations,

This.
There are a lot of opinions on this ranging from never to multiple times a day. The important thing is to find out what works for you. If you get too hung up on that number then even once a week maybe too frequent (depending on how much you have to lose and slowly you want to do it). But on the other hand you maybe a numbers geek (like me) and have little emotional investment attached to them, in which case you could probably handle more frequently.

At the end of the day as long as your eating right* you will lose weight, then the number on the scale is irrelevant as you will reach your target eventually. Don't forget all the other non-scale-victories and ways to measure success (photos, body measurements etc).


*disclaimer- by right I mean in order to successfully create a deficit. I am not a believer of right and wrong foods or eating methods.

I also weigh daily.

I do once a week I do not like to rely on the scale and think about the numbers, I find that feeling healthier and looking better to be a better motivation than a number dropping on the scale

I do it daily in the morning after workout. I make sure that I follow that habit so that my comparison of weights will be correct.

I weigh in every Wednesday morning after waking and going tinkle and I am nekkid. I picked Wednesday bc I cheat a lot on weekends and Monday and Tuesday are my best days for diet and exercise.

Every day...but I would only do this if you dont get anxious over the daily flux of water weight ect.

I weigh in daily and record only the losses. I expect fluctuation, they don't bother me. I've thought about tracking it everyday to see how it would look on a graph, I'm just too lazy

I'm new to this and want to know what others do...

I've been weighing in once a week. Is that about right?

Thx,

I weigh in daily. It's really a personal preference though. Weighing daily generally looks like this:

(chart I made of my own weigh-ins last year b4 pregnancy)

If fluctuations bother you than you should probably weigh in once a week or less.

Daily. Once a week was way worse for me. What if you weigh yourself on the day you're retaining water, even though you were 1 pound lighter the day before? It's worse because then you feel that you've 'wasted a week', instead of just one day.

I weigh myself daily, usually first thing in the morning but only record my weight once a week

yep...what she said

Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and record the weight on Monday morning

soo 4 times a week .

I'm sporadic. I may not step on the scale for a week or I may do it daily for a week running. I don't always log it, but I always weigh first thing, after I use the bathroom, nekkid. I never do it any other time.

I have a Dr appt Wednesday... public weigh in, yay!
