How often to weigh self?

You usualy should weigh in weekly, but it feels soooo much better to look at the scale and see 10 pounds lost then 2. So monthly or every other week should be good

In my personal experience, weigh yourself once a week. That way, you don't get pissed off seeing yourself gain pounds/kilograms of water of a small period of time.

I check my weight and measurements each friday and usually after my workouts.

Once a week here as well. It balances out the inaccuracies of weighing yourself every day. I don't bother with measurements. You should be able to tell through how your clothes feel. I feel better when my clothes feel baggier than reading a number off a tape measure.
Good luck on your MFP journey xx

I weigh myself twice a day. but then, I'm new.

I have a morning weigh in, naked. I have an evening weigh in before tea, with clothes. I foolishly put in my first weight as a clothed one just before tea so I have two numbers in my head: what I 'truly' weigh (morning naked) and what your machine expects.

I have a set of scales that measures kilos, and tenths of kilos. I certainly do lose weight every day, in teh hundreds of grammes. I lost 3lb last week - that's an average of 200g a day and you see it on the scales. it wobbles a bit but it's fun.

It's fun watching that little tiny downward journey. teensy bit by teensy bit. I don't need the big numbers, I don't need to wait all week for a thrill or a surprise... I like every morning seeing a tiny little loss. A slice off the pound of butter in the kitchen. I visualise it and I get a tiny kick out of it.

I planned on once a week, but then been doing it around every 5 days.
I only have the wii for scales, which is good, because I can't be bothered to switch it on every day just for that.

I normally record my weight every week (for me fridays)

But I generally weigh myself periodically throughout the week, out of curiousity not for actucally "weigh-in" purposes.

I used to measure myself every 2 weeks.

Yet, I can see changes happening so I have been doing it every week out of eagerness.

Everyone is different do what makes you feel comfortable. Remember it took you years to put the weight on. It could (unfortunately) take that long to take it off. It is a lifestyle change not a quick fix. ^.^

Good Luck on your journey

I feel better when my clothes feel baggier than reading a number off a tape measure.

Huh, interesting. I buy a lot of clothes online from different countries, so I tape measure myself anyway, and it feels good to go down an inch.
I think I get used to how clothes feel on my body, so I don't notice the bagginess as much.

I weigh myself each saturday morning before i have breakfast. I do my measurements every 4 weeks, my trainer at the gym does it:-)

At the moment I'm weighing every day, simply because I'm REALLY having to keep an eye on my weight. I have a bridesmaids dress to fit into in 18 days, which was a bit tight on me last Wednesday... In weighing every day I find that I'm more inclined to make the right choices, as I can see on the scale when I've went a bit overboard.

After the wedding I'll be weighing weekly once again, as I'll be maintaining.

I haven't taken my measurements in a couple of months, but I usually would take them every 6 weeks...

I weigh myself every day. I recorded weekly when I was losing, but daily now that I'm maintaining (which may be making me rather neurotic). I don't think I'd remember as easily if it wasn't daily, and in the past I've let my weight zoom back up again by ignoring the scales, so I'm not doing that again!

I think, for me, weekly weigh-ins could mean losing more than I intended or ignoring hunger cues because the calories were right, while in fact I was losing way too fast. I also think that it helps to know if your loss/gain is a blip or part of a trend.

Every two weeks for me at the same time, weekly is ok too but any more than that and you will see too many fluctuations on a day to day basis and that is just asking for trouble!

I weigh twice a day and log twice a week cause I'm in two challenges, otherwise id log once a week, it really is about finding what works for you xxx

I weigh every day, right after I get up and go to the bathroom. However, I know daily weight fluctuates an I don't freak out if I am 2 pounds heavier on Tuesday as compared to Monday. If you can't handle the daily fluctuations, then weigh once a week, max. I have found by daily weighing I see how my body reacts to certain things. Like I have learned a high sodium day will keep my weight up by 2 pounds or so for 2-3 days. If I drink a fair amount of alcohol one night, the next morning I will weigh less because I am dehydrated. I am in the minority as I like to see these changes and I can accept the ups and downs of daily weighing. Even though I weigh daily, I use Friday mornings as my "official" weigh in, and will only then log any gains or losses in MFP.

I don't focus on scale weight. I don't care about scale weight. Scale weight loss and fat loss aren't the same thing. I weigh myself and take my measurements once a month. I focus on my body fat percentage/pounds of fat and inches. I'm aiming to lose pounds of fat and inches. I know that it takes time to lose pounds of fat and to reach my pounds of fat goal, it can take a year or a little longer and I'm okay with that.

I was going to weigh myself weekly and measure monthly but I know how I am and if I don't keep seeing the results on the scale I'll give up. So I was thinking about getting weighed monthly instead?

You can weigh yourself as often as you want, but for accurate results you should weigh yourself weekly - for me it's Sunday morning before breakfast after my morning shower - and record that weight in MFP. I just bought myself some WeightWatcher body analyser scales which also gives me body fat % which is very motivational (the higher it is, the more I feel motivated)

MFP also wants you to take measurements weekly, but I think fortnightly or monthly would be better. And your clothes and how comfortable you feel in them after a meal is also another good indicator.
