How often do you weigh?

I was just wondering how often everyone weighs. I’m weighing once a week. As long as I’m hitting my weekly goal, I’m not stressing. I know the big numbers will come!!

Twice a week... usually Wednesday and Saturday in the morning before getting dressed, before food and after going to the bathroom2

I weigh every morning and track my weight on Trendweight.5
-
Every day. It usually helps motivate me to hit the gym before I go to work. I take off my nightwear, weigh, and put on my workout clothes.3

Every morning3
-
Every morning and in the evening before bed...i like numbers lol3
-
every morning. i like pondering the impact of the last 2 days1
-
Once a week on saturday morning.....dont wish to be compulsive which only would make me crazy! Trends are not important where weight loss is my goal.4
-
Twice a day. Once right after I get out of bed, and once after exercise while naked. Both in the morning before I eat.
I know it's overkill, but I like doing it.1 -
Every day after I b get up and pee and not eaten anything ...that way if I gained I know what food to stay away from or do better it helps keep me going down 35.6lbs and 67 lbs more to go!!!0

Every morning, after business, before consuming anything. I have a Withings/Nokia Body+ scale, so I like seeing the graph on their site. Weighing more often than that gets pointless and it's the most controlled time of day.1
-
Like many others, every morning and use a weight trending app. Sometimes I sneak a peek before bed for a preview
If you don't obsess over the numbers, they just become a bunch of interesting little data points. 2 -
Graphs are fun.

I would have to disagree - whether you weigh daily, weekly or monthly, the overall trend IS important because it shows you when you're making progress even if the scale hasn't moved in the direction you want it to lately.
How often a person weighs is up to them and what they're comfortable with. You said you feel daily weighing would be compulsive, which is fine - you do what works best for you. Others like to weigh every day (I do), and as long as one doesn't panic over seeing the number go up due to natural fluctuations, that's fine too! Still others weigh very infrequently, or just go by how their clothes fit. It's all good.

I weigh myself every morning and write it down.0
-
Twice a day ... I am fascinated by how weight changes dependant in food intake, nutrients, stress, exercise, injury, temperature etc etc
For instance did you know ... or care1 -
Typically once a week on Saturday after waking up... Although I just got a new scale and I've been slightly obsessed with it weighing a couple times a day lol1

I do a Wee & Weigh first thing every morning!1

Every morning, and track it on HappyScale. When I weighed once a week, it became an Event and I obsessed. Now it's just data points, as pinuplove said, and useful to see how things are going over the longer term.1

I was weighing every 1-2 weeks or even less, and only recording downward changes. Started using HappyScale a week ago and now I'm weighing daily - using a trend smoother like HappyScale does change your attitude toward normal fluctuations, and I recommend smoothing apps to those who are daily weighers who also find themselves getting discouraged by the fluctuations.2 -
I completely agree with the above posters about HappySale. I weigh myself every day, and I used to only track losses. But then I would be frustrated all day if I saw a gain that morning. HappyScales has helped me to know that is a normal part of the process and I can be happy no matter what numbers show up. It also helps my husband and I stay accountable and we cheat a lot less this way. 0

Everymorning. It keeps me honest.0

I've always weighed in daily and when I'm actually losing, sometimes more than once a day. I log it into my fitbit app.0
-
I'm a little different than others in this thread. I weigh once or twice a month, as close to the same point in my monthly cycle as I can manage. I can do this because I trust the process and have things pretty dialed in, but the fluctuations were driving me a bit bonkers. I'm usually a numbers geek, but on this one thing I prefer to have less information rather than more. Always interesting to see how different things work for different people.1

Every morning and track it on my fitbit app. I log it here once a week on a Saturday morning. I just like data and spotting trends.0
-
once a day do not check in until 3 days at same weight loos0
-
I weigh every morning but I only log every 7-10 days. My weight fluctuates a lot based on where I am in my cycle so logging daily would be too discouraging but I like seeing how the previous day's choices are affecting me.0
-
I weigh-in once a week but I will step on the scale a couple times a week to make sure im staying on track to where I want to be0
-
Multiple times a day. Like the app: Monitor Your Weight0
