How often do you weigh in?

Weigh in and tape measure once a month.

Morning, night, and sometimes during the day. It's fascinating to see the fluctuations based on what I've eaten, how much water I've had, etc. Sometimes I can even predict what I will weigh before I step on the scale.

It's also fun to see how much my weight decreases during the night.

I'm such a nerd. :glasses:

I weigh in on Sundays mostly.

I measure my neck, waist, butt because that's how you determine body fat % but I also measure my gut and chest for comparison. I can't wait to not have a gut haha!

This is something I actually might try because I might be able to be consistent. But I gave up on measuring because I obsessed too much over whether or not I was actually hitting the same places on my arm, thigh, chest, etc, each time. I couldn't measure progress, or trust my results.

This time around I'm not even weighing myself. I may start to at some point, but I also found that to be very discouraging, especially if I had what I thought was a good week and the scale did not agree. For now I'm just going by the way my clothes fit (including the ones I hope to fit into again!) my energy level and stamina. All NSVs.

Must admit daily. Just want to know if I have gone down. Keeps me motivated. If it moves the wrong way, I work harder that day

I'm an obsessive kinda girl (I know, I know, not good!) so I weigh myself each morning. But, it keeps me focused. And I see consistent weight loss, so I'm ok with it. I've never done my measurements. I'd be interested in doing that, but I wouldn't even know where to begin. Plus, I'd be mad when all that was shrinking was my bust line, lol!

If i take a shower in the morning then I'll weigh myself. But if I take a shower later in the day, as I often do when I don't have work, then I'll wait. I don't like weighing myself after morning because I know it'll give me a higher reading.

I do it weekly. Although I do step on the scale from time to time between weigh-ins, I don't log those.

Weighing every day would be too much for me. Weight fluctuates and I don't want to be happy or sad from one good day where maybe I have more or less water weight than usual. I would feel tempted to eat extra if my weight happened to be low or to do another workout if my weight was higher than usual.

Weighing monthly is what I did last year. It worked for a while but I also wasn't tracking calories so I don't feel like I lost as much as I could have. I ended up staying at the same weight for the second half of the year and not losing any more.

I weigh once a week, the same day each week, first thing in the morning. This is enough to keep me on track without being obsessive and constantly weighing myself. If I gain a little or stay the same I know I wasn't really at a deficit that week and can be more careful and/or exercise more the next week. But too long between weigh-ins doesn't let me track my progress as well (weight can creep up without me realizing it) and weighing in every day would be frustrating for me.

On Sunday morning.

I didn't have a scale for years cause one of my kids has an eating disorder, but DH said we should get one as I've stuck with this about a month, and everyone in the house gets on it every time we go to the restroom. :laugh:

I weigh once a week , but only typically record the weight every two weeks.

I weigh in pretty much daily also unless I've just pigged out the night/day before. I see some fluctuation but it's nice to see when I maintain and when I lose. For me it takes a lot for the tape to show any changes. It can take up to 5lbs to see a difference, which discourages me.

You should really try taping!! Body fat is so much more accurate than BMI! My goal is based on body fat, and scale is just kind of it's buddy to keep me entertained, Scott I've heard a lot of people doing the weigh in daily but I tried it and what ended up happening with me was I'd fluctuate 1-2 a day. So I would workout even harder and eat the bare minimum of calories, then the next day it was back where it should be so I do the same thing, to lose a pound. but at the end of the week I would feel terrible, weak and exhausted and the scale would be up or down a pound of two hahaha. I was thinking for me maybe every 5 days, every week, every other week. Or maybe just having official weigh ins biweekly (not near PMS time haha!) not sure what I want to do yet.

That's because you completely do not have a clue what's going on with the fluctuations. You think its fat but its often not. Its just water and its not permanent. It goes up and down through the course of the day and is at its lowest in the morning. And then it goes up and down through the course of a month. You just need to average out your daily weigh ins if you are anxious about them but I just keep tabs on the general trend.

If people could only try to understand what's happening a bit more instead of freaking out all the time, you'd find it easier.

I mean i think weighing weekly should be pretty worrying too. I mean if its up, you'd think that's a whole week gone to waste. Or you'd spend half the week looking anxiously forward to weighin in day. When you weigh daily you don't have to be anxious at all. Well not when you can account for the extra weight or drastic loss.

First thing every morning. If I forget, I don't weigh until the next morning due to the fact that weight seems to increase by 5 or more pounds during the day.
