How often do you weigh yourself?

Daily. But only because I'm 3 lbs from goal and the fluctuations (water weight etc..) are kinda fascinating. I'm just soooo close! So I've been checking daily hoping to see the magic number.

Daily but I would like to do weekly. It is addicting. For the last week I have seen it fluctuate between 2 pounds and I know I have eaten a lot of sodium so I understand but still don't like it so I feel once a week is better.

I weigh every morning first thing so it's at a consistent schedule & the scale records in my Profile account

I weigh myself daily because I like to track the trend of my weight loss. Also, it does help me stay accountable. If I miss a day, that turns into missing 2 days, then 2 weeks, etc. Daily weigh ins are definitely not for every one but for me, I like it.

(I also don't use a tape measure either, I tried, but kept messing it up so I gave up hah!)

Once a week..i was weighing daily but it got really discouraging

Daily and trend it using a weight trending app. The trending app weeds out all those pesky fluctuations we see daily.

daily and track the trend over time in my Garmin App. It helps me pinpoint activities that have lead to swings up and down.

I used to weigh myself weekly on Wednesday because it would give me enough time to compensate any slight imbalance from the weekend but still reflect my progress and not make me feel rustrated (water weight from sodium etc).

Now I don't own a scale (moved to a new place) and I'm not going to buy one as I'm only staying about 4 months here. I'm measuring myself (which I always do anyway) every two weeks to keep track, plus pictures and just generally how tight my pants feel!!

I find this puts less pressure on yourself, but you do what works best for you!

I weigh daily, after I go to the bathroom but before I eat or drink anything. I record my weight in Happy Scale, and only change my weight in MFP if it's gone down at least half a pound lol.

ME TOO! I'm weighing daily but I'm probably going to switch to weekly starting Next Friday. The weight fluctuations bother me even though it's just undigested food/water/bloat.

I'm really struggling with the whole thing at the moment, my eating has been out of control this week, I struggle to stay on track, I quite often have a bad day then say "Ohhh I'll start again next week", I normally weigh-in once a week but I'm not wondering if maybe weighing daily would be beneficial for me just to help me stay on track.

Daily, however, I would say that ultimately it really doesn't matter. If this is the ultimate factor in whether someone is losing weight, they have bigger issues to tackle. I have struggled with weight loss for about 35 years ( I like to say I'm on "The 35 Year Diet Plan" ) but I've finally got it beat. I have been vegan for nearly 10 years and recently levelled up to a 100% whole foods plant-based eating regimen. Bingo! Within days my food cravings disappeared and finally, I'm in control of what I eat. I have been losing steadily no problem. It's actually easy now. For the first time, I have absolutely no doubt that I will reach my goal weight and maintain it for life.

Saturday morning, right after going to the bathroom, totally unclothed.

Daily is very motivating for me.

I have a routine. I work for a medical/dental clinic. Every weekday I come into work and do a specific task. Once that is completed, I walk up around the clinic and check the scale as part of my walk. I don't weigh myself on the weekends. I track using Libra.

Daily, in the evening (because it's convenient, right before I shower).
Since weight fluctuates so much from day to day, I feel that a weekly weigh in could give the wrong idea (either positively or negatively). Plus, I like looking at the Google Fit graph!
