Most Beneficial Way to Weigh

I weigh once a week. My scale also does water and body fat % and it is the body fat I'm most concerned with.

and you are more than welcome to add me as a friend if you like. :-)

I step on the scale every day but only log the results on Fridays.

I weight in @ the gym. Same time of day and same scale. Seems to be the best.

I got so bad at weighing that I was weighing up to 8 times a day and it was determining my whole day. I stoped weighing for two weeks. I havent weighed since. Im using my tape measure and weighing every 2 weeks or so. Trying to focus on being healthy and not just a number

I weigh myself once a week in the morning. If the number's don't move, I don't worry cuz my goal is to lose two pounds a month!! I figure that it didn't take me a couple of weeks to put on the weight, it will take me the same amount of time to get it off. And look I've lost 16 pounds in 6 months!!! You can do it, but getting upset with yourself is only hurting you...you need to stay positive and take it one day at a time!! If you make a bad choice one day, make a better one the next day!!! GOOD LUCK!!

Also I'll be your friend, just request me!!!

In the end it's up to you what the most beneficial way for you to weigh is! If you're finding daily/more-than-daily weighing is affecting your mood, it might be helpful to switch to weekly weigh-ins.

Personally I weigh once per day, in the morning (without clothes on, and after using the washroom). I record my weight in a spreadsheet every day... I am a bit of a nerd.

If you'd like to get a more accurate picture of your weight loss, I recommend putting your weight into a column in a spreadsheet every day. Then in the next column, add up that day's weight, plus the previous seven days, and divide by seven. This will give you a moving average (so your average always depends on today's weight + the previous six days), and it will act to smooth out those natural daily bumps and wiggles so you have a better picture of how your weight changes with time. If the moving average is going in the downward direction, you are on the right track.

This way I don't worry if I'm up a pound or two one day, as long as the overall trend is still generally downwards.
Example: last week I was 153.4,153.6,153.2, etc. Yesterday I went to a wedding and had lots of food and wine, and today I was up to 156. I didn't freak out because I know it's due to the high sodium + alcohol.

Anyways, it's up to you! Good luck with whatever method you choose!

I actually have the same issue. I know its better to just weigh in once per week, but its hard to break the habit.

If you live with someone else it may be a good idea to ask them to hide the scale or keep it in their room. For you weigh in, you can ask them for it.

I weigh once a day in the morning and log on Friday mornings. I like to weigh myself daily just to keep myself on track. It just keeps it more real in my head. The measuring tape is next to the scale and I'll check myself 2-3 times a week when I'm not super rushed in the morning. I just started measuring last week so I haven't seen any changes yet. I decided to do both so even if my weight stalls, I'll be able to see changes in the tape.

omg youre just like me! lol. Seriously im obsessed...but because of that I know how my bod responds to certain things that i eat.
On the negative side, as everyone knows, theres the fluctuation. it can be discouraging.
I just count the weigh ins i do every morning around 5 ish.....after i pee and get naked of course! lol.

exactly!!

I'm addicted to weighing myself too! I only take my weekly Friday morning weigh-ins into account, though. If I weigh myself any other time it's mostly to see how I'm progressing throughout the week and determine if I'm on track. I also like to see how my weight fluctuates througout the day just because it interests me and since I am less than a month into changing my eating and exercising habits I like to see how my body reacts to different things. If you can't resist weighing yourself more often than you should, just remember not to let it get you down. There have been times where I step on the scale just for fun and my weight is a few pounds higher than I expect, but I know the next morning those pounds won't be there.

When my scale at home was working, I was on it every day! But I used it as a motivation to do well on logging my food each day. I never looked at it as a failure if the number went up. I only "counted" to myself, if it was Friday or Monday. Now that it's broken, I weigh at work on Friday & Monday. Friday keeps me going over the weekend & Monday tells me how I did! But I WILL get it fixed! I want my body fat % back!!

I have the same sort of problem! I weigh numerous times a day, often 4x plus. I recognise it's a bit of a problem and rather strange for a guy, but nonetheless present.
Aswell as trying to lose weight i'm also trying to tone up, so i regularly weigh after exercise out of interest. I'd love to reduce this amount but can't help but find myself drawn back to the bathroom scales. I think the amount of times you weigh is healthy so long it doesnt have a profound effect on your dieting.

Feel free to add me as a friend! Im pretty new too and would welcome new people
