in Getting Started
I'm used to weighing myself every Sunday morning after before breakfast and after showering usually.

How about everyone else?

    I weigh myself every morning when I wake up, and then average on Sunday. Weight fluctuates so heavily everyday depending upon different factors, so I feel it's most accurate for me.
    It doesn't work for everyone though- if they get down about the numbers, it probably won't motivate and more so discourage.

    Every morning? Why. Once a week for me and I dread it! Also find I loose or gain inches too

    I weigh myself daily and was only recording losses for a while. I've started logging it daily simply because I want to get a better idea of my trends and how certain foods or activities effect my weight. It was actually fun this weekend to see it go up after a night out and then right back down again the next day.

    Every Morning after a shower. Some days I fluctuate others I may drop a couple of ounces. It's interesting to see the progress whether its up or down.

    I figure at this point the more information the better.

    Often several times a day. I'm fascinated to see how the fluctuations work. It's just a number, nothing to be scared of. I know that only the weekly trend is particularly memorable, and I keep track of that on the monthly weight-loss challenge forums.

    My last weigh in I lost 4lb in a week. Huge loss as I hadn't really tried.... With little exercise as I've got a back injury at the moment. Be interesting with this Sundays weigh in. Def lost it off my cup size, which I'm not happy about lol x

    I weigh daily and log it in the Happy Scale app.

    I update my MFP weight when I have reached a weight or lower on two weigh in days.

    Monday mornings :)
    Although after reading through this thread I'm thinking of maybe weighing in more often. For those of you who weigh in daily do you also record your weight daily on MFP?

    I gave away my scale years ago, so I only weigh myself at the gym, after coffee and breakfast. My pants are more of an indicator of my progress. I don't log all of my weigh ins, and if I suddenly go down a few pounds, I wait til the next gym visit to 'verify' and then log it. Years ago I had a very bad relationship with the scale and was constantly weighing myself. Now it's better, but I see no need to buy one.

    I step on my scale daily. It helps me keep little things in check. I officially weigh every week or two using the body composition analysis machine at complete nutrition. This is what I use to update and track.

    Certainly been here too,.. Awful relationship with sizes and weight in my past. I also find different scales weigh different. X

    I just started recording daily about a week ago. I just feel like I want the additional information but you have to do what works for you.

    I weigh myself daily, but only record it once a week. I just don't think ONE number should be the judge of an entire week's progress.
