Does anyone else weigh themselves everyday??

I don't weigh often. Maybe once a month. When I was losing I weighed myself every Friday morning.
Now I go by my measurements and my tight, non stretchy jeans. lol
This works for me. Heading into year 4 of maintenance with no weight gain, issues or struggles.6 -
I weigh every morning and log it in the happy scale app and monitor the trend.1

I weigh myself probably once a month, when i used to weigh myself every week i would freak out over the smallest increase in weight. But to be honest tell I can judge my weight loss on how my clothes are fitting my body.2

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.1

I weigh myself once a week. Usually Saturdays. I've been logging my stats down on my phones notepad. I don't think there is any downside to weighing yourself everyday, but then I think about "a watched pot never boils" even though it does0

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.0 -
Daily. I always like to see the ounces slowly leading up to that next pound lost.1

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 weighing2

I do. I can't wait a week or whatever it is people recommend.0

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?0

heck no, I hate seeing the 5-10lb up and down day to day, it freaks me out that I am gaining.5

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.0

I do. I love the "report chart" as a visual reminder of where I'm at. It's a great reminder that weight loss is up and down, and that's just how it goes. Mine looks like a heart beat monitor-haha
Having that visual reminder helps take the pressure off(For me at least), but also helps keep me excited about what I'm doing. Because even if I'm feeling icky for a day or so, the chart tells a different story-and that is because it reflects my daily weigh in.

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.1 -

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 day. I like to keep myself honest.0
-
I do every other day. It pretty much keeps me on top of my weight.0
-
The scale makes me a nervous wreck because it fluctuates too much. So instead I weigh once a month and focus on BF%1
-
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.0
