How often do you weigh yourself?

Every morning. It can be discouraging to see water retention, but it lets me monitor my fluctuation and what to change

this.

I'd recommend weekly as the most frequent to weigh yourself.

I'm already at my goal range so I just weigh myself monthly to make sure I'm not allowing weight to creep back on

Every morning at the same time. This is usually right after I use the restroom first thing in the am.

I haven't weighed myself in 6 weeks. I'm in quasi-maintenance and more focused on fitness and marathon training than anything else right now. I feel and look good, am pleased with my training and I have very little interest in what the scale has to say to me at this point.

I did it once a week before...occasionally twice a week...or every other week. Never been an every day weigh person.

every morning.

I know I SHOULD only weight once a week....but, I weigh myself everyday.... Cant resist! I know that sometimes I will gain a pound or two for sodium levels etc....but, drink more water etc....then next thing you know...the scale will say Ive lost four pounds! lol I just like getting on the scale. I dont get discouraged by the scale....I know it can be evil....lol. Just a morning routine! : )

I do a once a week official weigh in, and that's what I log. But I just bought a cool scale that gives me other stats, along with weight, so I've been stepping on it daily, just for kicks, haha.

About 4 to 5 times per day.

Yes, I know everyone says that is bad. I tried the other ways and as of right now, I like this. It's fun and I understand about flucuations so I don't get discouraged. I always flucuate about 3 pounds so weighing myself once a week would not really be very accurate for me.

I figure it's my journey and I can do whatever I want with the stupid scale!

P.S. One fun thing I like to do is weigh myself right after I come in from a run in the 90 something degree heat, before I drink any water. I know it's not accurate, but it's exciting to see that really low number. It motivates me.

I honestly don't. After this August Challenge I am doing, I'll weigh myself, but I am honestly nervous to look at a scale. I've had issues in the past where I just fluctuate, plateau or gain weight. So I don't dare look yet. However, after this challenge, I'll find another and weigh in after that one. (^_^)

Probably too often. I weigh once in the morning and once at night. Sometimes during the day just out of curiosity. But I have learned not to let day to day fluctuations upset me. I am just interested in my own personal fluctuations and how certain foods/behaviors effect my body. I only weigh at night to see how much different it is in the morning- really interesting!

But if you are easily discouraged, I suggest once or twice a week. I really only count my weigh in once a week (Saturday morning).

It is whatever works for you!

I do the exact thing...

I weigh myself first thing in the morning, and usually once at night, just to see where I'm at. I don't think I could do it weekly, I'm too curious.

I weigh myself every two weeks. I found once a day did not give me the encouragement I needed, especially where there was no change in the scale.

I find that every two weeks works because I ALWAYS see a difference, and usually one that makes me jump for joy (usually 3 to 4 pounds). That is more encouraging to me!

I weigh myself weekly... your weight fluctuates too much daily for the numbers to be dependable. Once a week is more realistic and preferably 1st thing in the morning after your morning pee, naked.

Weigh every day but only record weekly. I understand that weight can fluctuate a few pounds each day so I don't get discouraged if/when the numbers go up. In a way I think it helps keep me accountable. Been doing it for so long, its kind of an obsession now :laugh:
