how often do you weigh yourself?

I do the same thing lol.... Its probably silly but i like to know where I am at lol

Hi!

I weigh every morning too! They say your weight can fluctuate by a couple of pounds a day - that's perfectly normal, although it can sometimes be a bit demoralising & frustrating. For this reason, the 'experts' recommend weekly weigh-ins. But I'm, keeping it daily, thank you very much! :laugh:

I weigh myself once a week.I consider that my official weigh ins which I record on the site. but sometimes I cheat. its hard to not weigh yourself when you know you are working hard and excited to see results.

I think anymore than a weekly weigh in with really mess you up emotionally. I HATE the scale and all it involves. We picked Monday morning...Every Monday morning when we (my husband and I wake) and before we eat or drink. I have only gained once so far (after a all you can eat sushi/ice cream incident for Valentines) so it's nice to start the work week on a positive note. Good Luck, Melanie

Weighning everyday is good for one reason.

I have observed that doing the same running everyday, I loose dispropotionate amount of water by sweating.
A sudden dip in weight is a good indication that I am running out of water and need to fill up.

Most of the weight balances(analog) have markers per kilo. As per the experts, its not healthy to drop more
than 2 lbs per week. So it will take a week for the needle to move in your favour if you are doing things at
the acceptable pace.

i weigh myself almost evryday, it helps me keep on track plus they say u r suppose to weigh urself at the same time of day everytime u weighin cuz it is more reliable plus i try to wear the same kind of cloths to help it also (shorts and a sportsbra)

I'm with you, David. I actually weigh in once every two weeks as I find to see a greater loss each time gives a huge motivation boost and also I feel that with two weeks between each weigh in, it gives you a better picture as to how the changes you're making to diet and excersize will work out for you long term. If, like me, you have a lot of pounds to shift, remembering that it's a looong term thing is pretty key in keeping up your motivation levels and willpower. It can't happen overnight - so why pile on the pressure by weighing in too regularly?!

It does take some serious willpower though, not to get on them scales when you're feeling good!

i weigh myself everyday as well. i do it in the morning and even at night sometimes. It is amazing how much my weight changes during the day

I weigh in on Friday mornings officially. This means that once I weigh in on that Friday, I log it into MFP. During the week I weigh in whenever I feel like it, usually only to see how much more I weigh after dinner or a workout. It's interesting! I know these aren't my real weights so it doesn't demotivate me.

Unofficially I do it every morning when I wake up. But "officially" for logging it onto here it's once a week on Wednesdays.

every morning as soon as i get up, i find doing this keeps me on track, every ounce counts and when i see even a small change that helps me get through my day..

I weigh in daily. I find it very informative. Lots of people are demoralized when their weight fluctuates upward, but weighing myself daily on a good, consistent scale (my Wii Fit, as opposed to my bathroom scale, which will fluctuate with factors completely unrelated to my weight like the barometric pressure and whether the moon is in the seventh house) gives me some very useful information. If I am up a significant amount (more than a pound), I think about what I had the day before. If it was a LOT of food, I know I overate and I make adjustments for the next time I'm in that situation. If it wasn't a lot of food, or if I know I didn't blow my calories, then I know that whatever it was was really salty and I'm retaining water. Again, I can make plans accordingly.

I have noticed that eating late affects the scale negatively, and it has helped me give that up or eat much lighter when I do eat late. If I'm going to have a cheat, like a slice of cake at a party, it's better to do it early in the day -- so if the party is late in the day, I have more willpower to resist it.

Honestly, when I weigh myself every day on the Fit, my weight doesn't "fluctuate" without a reason -- I can always tell when it goes up what I have done that has made it do that, and if I've been good, it goes down.

So, lots of people hate the scale and limit themselves to once a week, but I find daily to be informative and motivating, now that I have a scale that is very consistent.

I weigh myself every morning or every other day... Depends upon whether or not I feel like weighing myself.
