How often do you weigh yourself

I do every day that's just me. But if you're just starting out, most people (and I) would recommend to do it weekly at the same time like first thing in the morning. Lots of ups and downs if you do it daily and it's often unrelated to anything you ate or exercised off. But I like the way it makes the graph look.

I do it weekly around the same time and with almost nothing on

Just started on mfp on my 4th day and not sure when to do my first weigh in as I'm itching to see if there has been a loss already. So how often do you guys weigh yourselves?

I weigh myself weekly. Same time and day each week. Friday morning.

I find people who weigh them selves too often like daily become obsessed and freak out because they gained .2 or 1 kg when it is just the normal weight fluctuation.

I'm not saying all people who weigh daily become weird but I think I have seen enough posts of people complaining that they have gained or not lost and when you ask you find out they are talking about their weight over 2-3 days.

Once a week every Saturday morning. Although I have skipped a week before because I knew I made a lot of poor eating choices and didn't want to see the scale until I had set myself straight
If I weigh in the middle of the week, I pretty much have a mental breakdown seeing a gain, even though I KNOW it fluctuates, sometimes I guess I just like to torture myself.

I have to go every week. Daily was fun some days (Oo, I dropped 2 pounds since yesterday), but frustrating others (how have I gained .5 pounds when I only ate 1000 calories?). When you do it that often, I find you aren't really getting an accurate reflection of what you're doing. Weight fluctuations lead you to unrealistic goals (I dropped 2 pounds in a day, I can do that every day and lose 10 pounds by Friday) or unneeded frustrations. Weekly you're more likely to see a realistic drop that is noticeable and motivational.

Daily.

Without daily weigh-in's my graph wouldn't look like a fun roller coaster ride:



That and it's the overall trend that is important:

• black dots = scale readings
• red line = trend

Daily lol. You really should do it once a week so you don't drive yourself bonkers

I like weighing every morning because it helps me remember that weight fluctuates.

Every day - wake up, pee, take off clothes, weigh. I have a medical reason and have to watch the water in my body but I understand the fluctuations for the medical reason vs. my goal weight.

before and after every meal! That way I know how much to log in MFP. that way I don't need to buy a scale!

All the time! Every time I'm in the bathroom with my clothes off, anyway. I like to watch the fluctuations. I find them interesting and don't get freaked out by them.

Saturday morning.

Erry day I don't log every day, usually just when I hit a new low weight because I hate that MFP posts every "loss" even if it's just a loss from the previous day, that doesn't mean it's actually an overall loss. I also tend to weigh myself before bed because I've learned that I almost always fluctuate 2lbs overnight so it's kind of cool to predict it. Idk I'm just a numbers person :P
