For those who weigh daily

I would say "around 150" because I think that's close enough. I don't think anybody really needs to have my exact weight. I mean, I'm assuming that we aren't prepping for a C150 flight and the asker doesn't need to figure out how much s/he can carry.

No one outside a doctor's office has ever asked me my weight. In my head I go with the lowest weight I've gotten recently. I don't log my weight on MFP anymore. I see my doctor every month, so what I weigh when I get on the scale there is my "official" weight. I only get worried if I see a trend where my daily high weight starts going up with no corresponding downward dips.

That's a good point. The only person who has asked how much I weigh is my sister. But she asks me a lot of stuff that nobody else would ask me.

I weigh myself all the time, only record what the scale says on Tuesday nite right after I get to work, then I subtract 5 lbs from wearing steel toed boots and clothing of course. It doesn't bother me to see fluctuations from one " official " weigh in to the next.

I weigh daily and tend to look at it less as a line and more as a band. I've been doing it long enough now where I can usually pinpoint where I'm at the upper end of my weight range (sodium, retention, etc.) and where I'm at the lower end of that band (healthier than normal day, etc.). I don't really use any sort of weekly track, so how much I'm losing over a week has never really been a metric I've examined very closely. Besides, Monday-to-Monday and Wednesday-to-Wednesday of the same week could have widely varying results. This is also the reason I switched to daily tracking. I know it's not for everyone, but I like seeing the day-to-day fluctuations and comprehending the reasons for them. It's been an enjoyable part of my own journey in losing weight.

I weigh myself daily and track a 7-day average. Then I graph them against each other, which gives you a pretty good idea of what's going on (see bottom graph):



It's important that you try to weigh yourself under consistent conditions every day (say, after using the bathroom in the morning, before eating breakfast, wearing only your underwear.)

I weigh every day and just watch my trend over time.. you can't get hung up on the day to day fluctuations you will see. One thing you can do is weigh daily and then keep a 7 day running average to track the trend without the fluctuations so much.

I weigh daily. I log when I've lost. Keeps things consistent. It's annoying when I've hit a plateau, but nice when it's going down again.

I use a different app for my daily weights and put my weekly weight in on Fridays. Since that's the end of the week when I've been mostly good, but before the weekend when my sodium intake may be a tad higher which will cause water weight gain.

I've begun weighing and logging daily. That's probably why My tracker always says zero lost lol. But I like to see the trends, and I'm trying to desensitize myself from freaking when the scale goes up even when I'm "good". I typically look at my Monday morning weight to see whether I've lost for the week.

I weigh myself daily for my own tracking purpose and rarely do people ask my weight (however, they do ask what size I wear HA!). Either way, I generally don't share that info; but if I do, I have a tendency to give my higher weight and now that I think about it I have no idea why. Lowering the expectation... hmmm.

There was recent research by some university (?) in the USA (?) that people who weigh in daily actually lose weight better and keep the weight off longer. Seems logical to me, once you are used to the small fluctuations, as you don't have the discouraging experience of trying hard all week to find you have apparently put on several pounds. It may just be one of those fluctuations and within a day or two you are down again - but you won't know that as you're not weighing in again until the week's up. So long as the general trend is down, you have the reward of knowing all the time that you're doing well.

Sorry I can't tell you the details of the research project - I think I was so surprised to see the practise approved of, I wasn't paying attention.

I weigh daily. My number is within a 3 pound plus or minus range. I usually don't tell anyone what I weigh.

I weigh daily to keep myself in check but I weigh-in and check in my weight on Friday mornings.

When asked for my weight I take my lowest weight and round to the nearest 5 pounds. For example I weighed 174.2 this morning my lowest weight was 173.8, I say about 175. But the amount for fitbit and MFP I update and keep at the lowest weight, because that impacts the amount of calories I can burn and will estimate giving me the minimum I need to eat.
