How often do you weigh yourself?

Every day, and I log it in a spreadsheet so I can track progress over time. The bumps make no difference, just watch to see if you're sticking to the general incline of your plan (or to a roughly a straight line if you're maintaining). I love watching it make itself - it's been the thing that's actually stopped me caring about the numbers and caring more about the big picture.



ETA: the weight loss last weekend was because I had the flu, and the subsequent gain was my body recovering.

I look every morning out of curiosity but i only take weekly result seriously as I can fluctuate up to 6lb depending on time of month and fluid variations etc. If sticking to my deficit though i always lose or stay same from week to week so far.

Okay I know I shouldn't weigh myself everyday but I do... BUT I don't do it to see the weight lose.

I use my Wii and I do a body test every morning.

If you dont have one - You stand on the Wii Fit Board and it measures your balance and weighs you.

My balance is terrible so I am trying to improve this and I want to keep an eye on my BMI - which it also does, and when it measures these, there is a button to see your weight and it is SOO tempting to click it.

But surely if I keep in my calories, drink enough water and exercise I shouldn't be disappointed by the number on the scale?

So how often do you weigh yourself?

Same! I get out of bed, pee, and start up the Wii Fit first thing every morning. I know my deficit, I know my diet, I usually know what to expect when I get on the scale. One day I was up 3lbs from 24 hours ago for seemingly no reason (still can't figure it out). And it kinda knocked the wind out of my sails because I had only lost 2.9lbs at that point, so it obliterated all my progress! So I had a couple of bad days, and it took 11 days to zig zag back to my original weight, then on the 12th day I wooshed down another 0.9lbs.

So be careful! Even if you think you'd be fine with a random gain, you won't know until it happens. I still weigh every day, including the days after I've eaten a bunch, but I definitely learned something during that 2 week 3lb madness, and that is to only care about the new lows, and ignore every other number

P.S to other Wii Fit users - I always hated the balance thing, but you can avoid it by just not being on the scale when it counts down, and it skips right over it I only just realised this after having my scale for about 3 years lol.

Every Monday and Friday.

I weigh myself every morning. I understand that my weight fluctuates based on what I have or have not drank/eaten. There has times where I have gotten drunk and lost 5 pounds the next morning and then later in the day I have gained it all back lol...

In the Morning when I wake up and the evening before bed.
