How often do you weigh yourself?

I weigh myself every day too. I'm trying to change that though.

I used to be like that but I'm trying to break the habit. I set myself a goal of two weeks between weigh-ins. So far I've only cracked once...

Once a week. Doing it every day will just drive you crazy. Your body will change day to day between building muscle and burning fat. The same day every week is the best way to look at your results.

I don't do it that often because it's usually just going to tell me that I've not achieved what I'm kidding myself into thinking I'm doing... trouble is if I leave it too long, then sometimes it can be a bigger shock and also I've noticed that drinking lots of water can make a huge difference. I'm scared of it it in the same way I'm scared of looking at my bank balance

Good morning,
I look at the scale every other day. I love it when I see an ounce or so gone. It keeps me motivated. If I know I ddin't do well I avoid the scale. If I avoid it more than a week, then I know I am way off track. So I have to look at it to keep on track.

I was doing it every day. This week, I was determined to do it just twice a week! I did it and it worked. There was a lower difference each time and it was such an encouragement. When I do it every day and it get stucks one day, then I figure "What the hey!" and I'm eating what I want. I stuck to it this week and now the scale is my treat.....a scary treat.....I'll try for once a week this coming week but if I can't, then I'm shooting for Thursday! LOL

I work in a womens gym and you should try and just weigh yourself once a week. You will fluctuate anythin between 3-5 pounds a day. In the long run it will keep you motivated! Well done on the weight loss so far!

2-5 times a week. Sometimes daily. I disagree with people who say not to weigh yourself daily. I think more frequent scale use is a good thing. In fact there are studies that have shown that people who weigh themselves more often lose more weight. I think it helps to keep you more honest and in check.

The key is your psychology around weighing yourself though. You cannot get negative, regardless of what the scale says. Weight loss is great. No weight gain is very good. A little weight gain can happen and just means it's time to be a little more mindful and steel your resolve. No need to get upset and feel defeated. The human body does not always act/respond in a linear and graduated manner.

Once a week, usually on a Sunday.

I want to maintain a natural relationship with food / exercise / body image and have absolutely no intention to drive myself mad over this and become all preoccupied with 'weighing'. :huh:

I started out weighing myself every day, but after everybody mentioned the daily fluctuations, I just decided to stick with a weekly weighing.

I weigh myself once a day. I always do it in the morning before I eat. I've learned a lot about my body doing this. I know that if I go overboard on fried or salty food I'm going to gain at least 2-3 pounds from one day to the next. However, this weight is not permanent because it just means that my body is retaining a lot of water. However, if I gain a pound and it sticks around for a couple of days, that's when I have to change something in my workout or nutrition. During the holidays I gained and regained between 5 pounds. Staying at a constant overall. I looked at my food and exercise and noticed that I was consuming more calories some days and then combating it with more exercise on others, but the constant tracking helped me maintain my weight. I wasn't losing during the holidays, but at least I didn't gain weight. Once the holidays were over, I started only losing again. Knowing my weight on a daily basis keeps me on track. If I gain weight, I look at my food dairy and analyze to see what I ate that could have caused the gain, however, most of the time I know what I did. Just like I track my food, it's important to track the weight everyday. If the scale doesn't move in a couple days, that's fine, I might just need to modify something, let it be exercise or food. Sometimes this small modification will show a quick loss in a couple pounds. It could because there was too much sodium from processed foods, or I might not be drinking enough water. In conclusion, weighing myself everyday keeps me on track. Just learn not to get frustrated with the numbers, and be proud of yourself when you start feeling your clothes lose, you start having to pull your pants up every 5 minutes, and/or you begin to get complements from family an friends all the time. These should be the true measures of your success not just the numbers on a machine.

I weigh daily. Helps keep me motivated.

I weigh myself everyday too! Just can't help it I wanna know how i'm doing.... I guess its a bit obsessive but keeps me on top of things!
