weighing

Everyday is terrible...your body weight fluctuates through water,food etc. Too too much...big weekly myself,weekly at the most

I usually do Monday morning, every week! Works for me It's often enough to keep on track but not so often that I get obsessed with the number x

The number on the scale only tells part of the story. And daily fluctuations can be REALLY frustrating!

For those reasons I also do Monday mornings--and record measurements monthly.

Sometimes when I'm having problems I might weigh daily and just keep the record on another app so I don't confuse it with the real thing,.

What is worse for me is that I am diabetic. So I also use glucose readings to regulate my carb intake. The holiday season just about did me in after I decided in a moment of insanity to just let myself enjoy with my friends and family! I am now "in recovery."

People who say weighing every day is bad don't realize that, for some, doing so allows them to gain a good understanding of what their normal daily variation really is. You just have to let go of the idea that each day's weight is the written-in-stone-gospel. Understanding daily variability is even more important if you are a heavy exerciser and, thus, your food intake levels vary greatly depending on the day's activity level. Daily weigh-ins allow you to see how different activity and food intake levels affect weight the next morning. I personally would rather have a greater understanding of the possible plus/minus error whenever I weigh myself than less.

I lost 38 lbs over the past year and did so with daily weigh-ins. I paid more attention, however, to 7-day averages than each day's weight. Weekly averages are more likely to represent true weight and are only possible with daily weigh-ins. I would not discourage anyone from doing daily weigh-ins as long as they understand the concept of variability and use them to track weekly averages.

I 'officially' weighed myself once a week. I picked first thing Sunday morning (before I had eaten anything) and tried to wear the same outfit each time so there was less margin for error. No matter what the scale said I would log it and wait until the next week to see where I was.

I still looked at the scale on other days to see where I was going for the week but I tried not to put too much stock into it. I know that my food and water will contribute to small fluctuations throughout the day.

I am also on the daily weigher team.

I do have an "official" weigh on a Monday morning and that is the weight I actually record, but I also like to see the fluctuations of the week - especially if i have been out to dinner or have had a couple of drinks at the weekend.

Personally, it helps me to draw back if there is a gain and it just reminds me why I am doing it and that I still have 70lb to lose...

I guess it is down to the individual really. I have had my husband actually HIDE the scales so that I couldnt weigh myself, but it just did not work for me - I NEED to see the fluctuations. That is my personal motivation.

I weigh once a month if I am lucky but I don't do it everyday

I only do a weigh in every week or so since it fluctuates so much. As well as the scales try to take body measurements every month, that way you'll know if your body shape is changing and not just keeping yourself focused on weight. Works for me.

Everyday weigher here.. I lost 25 pounds last year.. it helps me see the overall trends when I select the graph on MFP and set it to view the last 2 or 3 months progress. I love daily weighing.. As long as you know that daily weight fluctuates you will be fine!
