How often do you weigh in?

I weigh twice a week, but only record the weight once a week. I use to record on Mondays, but realized that wasn't the best thing for me since it was right after the weekend and I normally do not do well with eating. So I now weigh myself on Wednesdays. My weight loss has been EXTREMLY slow. Only losing 4.2 lbs in 5 weeks, but I'm okay with that...for now. I know it's how I'm eating that is making it go slow. And to be honest, I really do not want to lose more than a 1lb to 1.5lbs a week.

Once a week usually..

I weigh every day but record on Friday's.

Once per week on Wednesday morning after cardio and before breakfast. I have a biometric scale that I really like. The readings may not be completely accurate but I figure as long as I am using the same instrument at the same time of day each week the stats are useful in planning and motivation.

Weigh every day and keep a 7 day running average to smooth out the bumps. In my opinion once a week leaves room for that day to be an peak or valley day. Weight daily really bounces around. I just keep mine in an excel spreadsheet with graphs. The recent spike was taking 7 days off of counting calories and the gym for a great trip and eating and drinking, just enjoying life. Came back and have dropped 8 pounds in 2 days. You can see the 7 day average shows the trend over time.

Every few days, first thing

I used to weigh in every day, but water weight and daily fluctuation would get me really discouraged. So, now I weigh in every Tuesday first thing in the morning.

How about everyone else?

Hi
FWIW I weigh every morning wearing the same thing so that will not affect my weight. I then record that weight in a smallish ledger book. The way I look at it the less personal data on me out there on the internet the better, thus the paper record, Plus the paper record can never suffer a data loss from a Virus or hard Drive crash.

looking at the book I can see that my efforts to maintain my weight for a few months before driving to the final weight loss is working. I have been fluctuating around the same weight for two months. I will say that I may be lucky that I do not worry about daily changes as I can up 2 or 3 pounds in two days if I eat Chinese take Out for example, then over the next few days it drops off. Recording weight every day is how I worked that out.

If Seeing Your weight fluctuate daily will bother You then do it weekly only You can know how it will affect You.
BTW I weigh every morning before eating or drinking anything as A persons weight will change throughout the day.

Good Luck

every to every other day with a 10 day moving average since my weight can fluctuate up to 1-2kg from a low day to a medium/high day

I just recently heard of trendweight.com and so far it's been the thing that most helps me have a healthy relationship with my scale. I record my morning weight every day and the app calculates a trend. So when, for example, I suddenly gained 7 pounds one day, it still reported that I was loosing at a rate of 1.3 lb per week and reported that my weight had increased by less than a pound.

Before that, I weighed in rarely, and so if I caught myself on a heavy day, I'd get really bummed.

I have the Happy Scale app on my phone and it's the same thing. I log in my weight and it keeps a record of it so I can look back at the trend for the days passed. I love it!

I try to do it once a week usually every Friday morning.

I used to weigh myself everyday. However, a small change on the scale (i.e +0.1lbs) due to water weight got me really upset and discouraged. That's why I just do it once a week now.

Twice a week if I can. There are a lot of factors that I'm anal about heh

Every day in the morning after shower
