    I originally wanted to do weekly, but I'm tempted to do daily because I'm a bit addicted. How often do you all weigh yourselves?

    Search function if your friend because this is asked once per week at least. I weigh everyday because I like the data points and it tells me a lot about normal fluctuations.

    I weigh weekly. Any more often you are probably obsessed/addicted.

    How many posts have you seen where people are freaking out over weight gain of 2 pounds, then it turns out they weigh themselves every day and it's just normal fluctuations/water weight.

    Weight fluctuates, it's probably best to look at the numbers/trend over a few weeks rather than 1-3 days.

    I agree with looking at 3 weeks of data instead of 3 days. But I'd rather look at 21 measurements over three weeks than just 3 or 4 measurements. That's why I weigh daily and record daily in another app which does stats in a way that I like.

    If I weighed once per week I would probably freak out when I saw something that didn't make sense. But because I weigh everyday it all kind of makes sense.

    I weigh & record my weight (and Blood Pressure, Resting Heart Rate) daily; but, I use the weekly average of my weight for tracking purposes. I weigh (without clothing) right after I get up and use the bathroom.

    The daily fluctuations in weight are too radical; but the weekly average is much more smooth and tends to better show the trend.

    Too much. As a result I'm likely going to be removing the batteries from my scale and putting it away until the end of April, just to see if I can do it.

    This because i like to see the progress and i am not bothered or worried about fluctuations.

    It also made me learn which foods make me hold water ( like for example cod, when i eat cod i hold water). So in general salty foods. I dont use added salt to my food at all. So like cad and bacon can make me hold water.

    And i recognized or saw the connections of my fluctuations and what i ate. So that is a reason for me to keep an eye on it.

    Blood pressure & HR and measurements and photo is every Monday.
