Hi everyone,
Just wondering how often you weigh yourselves. I used to weigh once a week but finding myself wanting to weigh more often.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance ☺

    Every morning, and I plug it into the Happy Scale app to keep a moving average.

    I weigh myself every day before I eat, but I only have one "official" weigh-in every week. It keeps me focused on my goal but other than the one day a week I couldn't care less what the number is.

    5+ times a day. I'm a data freak so I find it interesting for science.

    I weigh every morning after using the bathroom. My scale syncs to Trendweight so I can pay more attention to my weight loss trend than my daily fluctuations.

    I try to do it just once a week. Your weight can fluctuate so much day to day. Plus, if I do bad and my weight goes up during the week, it gives me some time to get it back down before my next weigh in. :)

    Whenever I get up in the morning and the Girlfriend says its a weigh-in day. The unknown helps me to not have a bad day or two of binge eating knowing I have the rest of the week to recover. Generally it's will be around 2/3 weeks but she has surprised me with a weigh-in 2 days after the last one.

    I WI every morning, but only log my WI once a week, unless I hit a milestone I've been working hard toward. Daily WIs have taken the emotions out of it, and I understand much more about how my body processes different things now, like how long does it take extra sodium bloat to go away, that sort of thing.

    As soon as I wake up I disrobe, urinate (hey, it's relevant!), and weigh. BUT, I track my weight as a seven-day moving average. Daily blips are mostly meaningless, too many factors that can cause those. But what gets measured gets managed!

    I don't weigh myself, I measure progress with clothes, pictures, and measuring tape. It makes me happier and gives me a more accurate picture.

    I weigh myself every day. I then take the average for that week and record that as my weight. There are too many fluctuations from day to day (volume of food, sodium intake, glycogen levels) and this provides a more stable number for me and better point of comparison. I compare weekly averages to ascertain progress.

    Never. Go by my clothes and how I feel in my skin. I don't need a number.

    every morning and I plug the number into my Happy Scale app so I can see my moving average I have an official weigh in day of Tuesday and I enter that number on a spreadsheet so I can see how much i'm losing every week

    I weigh everyday so I have an idea of fluctuations.

    I weigh every day. Get up, let the dogs out, pee and weigh. I see how my weight moves up and down every day and it doesn't get me upset over the number being higher than the day before, but I really think if I weighed once a week, and it happened to be a high day, it would upset me more. So if I'm up today, it somehow doesn't bug me as much.

    All goes in my spreadsheet where I calculate 7 day avg, Day loss, 7 day loss, days BMI and 7 day avg BMI.

    Go ahead and laugh at me.

    Every day. I swing 2-3 pounds. As long as the weekly trend is flat or down, I don't worry about it.
