Weighing myself everyday....

Once I started weighing everyday I stopped losing weight, I think it is a bad idea.

Bad idea (in my opinion). Not see the scale move OR seeing that 2-3 pound fluctuation is discouraging!

I use too, but it would either be real depressing or really good, so now I just do it once a week and at the same time on the same day.

I'm a glutton for punishment -- I am scale-addicted. Always have been. Would love to be able to break that cycle.......can't.

I am a daily and or multiple times a day person. It is a horrible habit that will be changing by force soon (the scale is not moving with me) I only count my weight once a week so i can see the changes.

I weigh everyday except the weekends. That's because I use the scales at work. We don't own scales at home! Luckily I haven't seen the big up and downs. I've been pretty steady except for my plateau of 3 weeks. It makes me focus when I do see an increase. You gotta figure out what works for you. Try 2 weeks weighing daily and then 2 weeks of only once a week. See how you feel.

I remember the days that I would weigh myself everyday... of course, I used to think I was fat back then. And now I'm 30 lbs heavier!! If I only knew then what I knew now!! LOL!

I am only going to weigh myself 1x per week. Every friday.

Your weight can fluctuate several pounds thoughout the day. So if you only weigh once week you're not getting an accurate measurement.
I weigh everyday, then average it for the week.

Hi,
This is a totally personal decision. I weigh (and record, but not always on this site) daily. I have found it is what keeps ME accountable. I don't get too stressed out over minor ups and downs, but know that if it goes up and stays up, I need to get my butt in gear.

I weigh-in every morning. I seem to be the opposite of everyone else, I think it's the best motivator ever!

If I don't weigh every day then I tend to get a bit slack. Knowing that I'm accountable for everything that goes in my mouth is the only way I stay on track. Yes, that's bad, I have shocking self control - if I know I have a week to 'make-up' the mistake then I go loco.

But I think about the whole thing a little differently, my brain has this amazingly positive attitude for when it looks at the numbers on the scale - if it goes down at all, I'm ecstatic and it leaves me on a high the rest of the day and really wanting to eat well and do my workout; if the scale goes up, it pretty much gets ignored my brain says: "oh, your weight fluctuates randomly, don't worry about it" or "you had too much sodium yesterday, you're just retaining water" or "yup, that's that tiny bite of muffin you had that can't possible cause you to weigh this much more, but I'm going to blame it anyway so you can move on with your day and not make that choice today" - my brain is very manipulative

I don't weigh after I've had a 'big' day - like drinking or going out to dinner, but every other morning you'll see me on the scale, and I love it.
The 'scale addiction' can be unhealthy for some people, but if you come at it with a positive mind-set and confidence in your ability to lose weight and make good choices, then it can be a fantastic tool.

I have a scale in the bathroom and a scale downstairs near the kitchen. I weigh myself first thing in the morning because I usually lose water weight at night. I weigh myself after every workout...once again to determine water loss or actual fat loss. I weigh myself before I go to bed to see how much weight is burned while I sleep. I weigh myself before I take a shower or after...just need to be in my birthday suit. I weigh myself a lot...I need to know which foods cause me to retain weight , water, muscle and fat. My scale in the bathroom has a body fat calculator. It's not very accurate, but consistent.

By weighing myself as much as I do I know what causes me to lose or gain weight instantly. I can drop 3 pounds of water by walking uphill at 4mph for 60 minutes.

I think you should weigh yourself multiple times a day.

I'm so bad! I step on the scale several times a day. At first it would be kinda hard to see the numbers bounce up and down thur out the day, but now it doesn't bug me and I've gotten use to the fact that my weight bounces around, so I don't worry if it goes up one or two pounds. However, I only log my weight once a week or once every two weeks, and I usually go w the middle number.

I weight everyday, maybe it's because of the curious side of me but I don't find it affects me negatively even if the scales go up due to water retention because it tells me that I have to maybe drink a bit of extra water that day or lower my sodium a bit to get rid of excess water. Because there's no way I would have put on a kg of pure fat overnight.

I used to weigh every morning, but I found that the morning after a workout I always put on about a pound - I found that so dicouraging that it was sabotaging me! Now I weigh only on Friday mornings after my rest day. I was getting way too obsessed with the numbers!
