How often do you weigh yourself

Some say throw the scale away, some say once a month, some say once a week well, I for one say once a day in the morning first thing after bathroom trip. I know from day to day what I have to do and what I can`t do. I have learned really through the years you have to live and enjoy life so put diet out of your mind and just make allowances in little things like bread, butter, soft drinks, cookies, candy etc and that all addes up and diffently portions. For years I have let diets control me and this time it is different I am losing a pound or two a week and if o that is find too, I just am not worring about it anymore life is just to short and getting shorter for me TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY THE BIG 70 so you see is it all worth all that worry ENJOY LIFE we only go through once.

Every day - I think more data points are better than fewer! But some people get really panicky about seeing the scale at (for example) 165 one day, 167 the next, 166 the next, 165 again the next.... etc. Personally I just like tracking the fluctuations. Also, I have had days where I am lower, then on my "weigh in" official day (I only record on MFP once a week), I am suddenly a pound or two higher (because of water weight, too much sodium the day before, hormone changes, etc.)... it would freak me out more I think if I didn't have the daily record.

What I think I might do is start recording my daily weight, and then on weigh-in day, take an average for the week.

There are hundreds of people on this site, and hundreds of ways to do things -- find what works best for you, and think honestly about what sort of person you are! If you will get freaked out by minor changes, or if you get easily obsessed with things, then personally I'd think weekly or bi-weekly would be a good option.

I weigh myself every morning to guage how I'm doing. Right now, I'm retaining water, so I'm trying to cut down on my sodium intake.

I like to weigh myself every Wednesday or Thursday (find a day that works best for you) first thing in the A.M. after you pee but before you eat. I would recommend the day before to make sure you get a healthy dose of water and lower the sodium and sugar intake in case you have some water retention, I also stay away from carbs and alcohol at supper the night before .
Yeah it might be a bit of a cheat to find the right day and lower the carbs and all that but sometime being down another pound is just the motivation you need to be down the next one

That being said don't get too hung up on the scale either when you're not down on the scale go by how your clothes feel and how your body feels. It's not your imagination when your clothes feel like they're getting looser you're shriking!!!

For me my clothes still aren't exactly lose but I don't have to do the hokey pokey to get into my jeans. I have to keep reminding myself they didn't stretch all of a sudden I actually shrunk myself! It's all the small vicories no matter how small that get you to your big goal.

Because I am a diabetic I have to journal every day. So I do it every day, its amazining to see the fluxuation of weight. I have to always remeber if I exercised, what time of month it is, what I ate the night before. so with that being said I stay accountable.

Me Too

I weigh myself everyday. As many PPs have said, it does mean that there is some fluctuation due to water weight, etc, but it helps me stay on track.
