Does anyone else weigh themselves everyday??

I weigh every morning and log it in the happy scale app and monitor the trend.

I do weight myself twice a day and it keeps me informed of my progress or the contrary. I found it more better than to weigh after few days or a week.

Good or bad kinda depends on you. On the one hand, it's a lot harder to lie to yourself if you're seeing the number every day. On the other, some people freak about normal day-to-day fluctuations.

Personally, weigh every day but look at a weekly average as my "true" weight. As long as the average is doing what I want, i.e. staying the same or going down, depending on my goals of the moment, I don't worry about it.

I don't have a scale, so i use the same one all the time at the gym when I go, otherwise i'd get obsessed about weighing

I love to do it...It keeps me mindful of what I'm doing. Weekly weigh in is light years away....lol. what's the harm unless you get wigged out that you gained a pound, and even then its good. Reassess what you are doing. I have gone up and down by 3 lbs within 3 weeks. Logging in my weight is like logging in here. Some people do it, some don't. But people who sign and post here are more likely to succeed. Same as weighing in everyday. There are exceptions... Are you one?

I weigh myself whenever I remember to do it. That's usually a few times a week. I think I did it more often before I went on maintenance, but that was so long ago I don't remember.

Hi
I weigh every morning at the same time wearing the same thing after I get up to eliminate as many variables as possible. I also log it in a ledger book, hard copy that I can refer too and not have to worry about any kind of data loss

Since I do not obsess over day to day fluctuations I am fine weighing daily. OTOH if You are the type that will let a 1/4 pound gain one day bother You, than I suggest weekly. I do the daily to track trends and find it to be helpful. Especially if I cheat on my Maintenance plan.

Good Luck

^^^^^ This. I weigh everyday but don't obsess over it. I wish I would had weighed myself everyday 3 years ago. I might had caught the fact I was gaining a lot of weight quickly.

Hi kelticsol
I agree with that, I should have weighed myself over the years too. Oh well I'm in better shape now and that is what matters.

Have a nice day

I do every other day. It pretty much keeps me on top of my weight.

I tend to avoid the scale as I'm gaining weight. When I'm serious again about healthy eating I weight just about every day.

currently, weigh-in weekly

I've been weighing myself every day for the last 5 months, I like to follow the trends and know what's working for me and what isn't.

Don't let the scale define you!! I stopped doing it because it doesn't really describe all the things that are going on inside your body when you take proper care of yourself. Your weight is not who you are!! I weigh once a month maximum if that. The way my clothes feel on me is my main guide.

I weight every day. It helps me with progress. I have a withings scale that automatically sends weight to mfp so it logs whenever i weigh myself. I also use trendweight.com to see what my long term trends is, it helps to eliminate the fluctuations.

I weigh myself almost every morning on an Aria scale, which logs it to my FitBit account, and to MFP. After a year of doing this I have a good idea of the general trend -- pretty steady, thank god! -- and also how the minor daily fluctuations relate to my diet and exercise regimen. If I'm suddenly up a pound or two I can usually trace that either to a high-sodium cheat meal (Chinese food!), or to water weight gain from a particularly grueling workout. Usually those extra "surprise" pounds will disappear as suddenly as they appeared; if they don't, then that's a wake-up call, and I need to pay closer attention to what I'm eating, and how much. I can't imagine trying to maintain based on a once a month -- or even once a week -- weigh-in schedule; but that may be just me.
