Weighing

I weigh daily. It keeps me engaged in the process. My scale syncs to the Health Mate app, which then syncs to mfp.

I accept the fact that there will be fluctuations and plateaus. If those freak you out, I don't recommend daily weigh ins.

Every morning. It keeps me engaged with the diet and also helps me avoid nighttime snacking, as I'm often up very late - I want a good reading in the mornings!

Usually twice during the week, while at the gym. At least one of those times, I usually see a little fluctuation up, so helpful to see that pattern (not a true gain)

Those weighing daily, how do you choose which weight to log?

Does anyone actually weigh in the evening?

I weigh daily, every single morning. I log it every day too, are you planning on only logging it once a week or something?

Nothing wrong with weighing in the evening if that suits you better, as long as you do it at the same ‘state’ - same type of clothes, pre or post dinner etc. In the end it’s about useful comparison day on day or week on week and what’s right for me and my mindset may not be right for you or anybody else.

I weigh daily, first time in the morning (after I pee), even during my TOM. I log it in Happy Scale, to follow the trend, and eventually in MFP. I think that if you choose to weigh daily, it is very important:
- to weigh in the same "situation" (no clothes, for example). For me, it's easier in the morning, just before the shower, on an empty stomach;
- to have a trend app or website, to get rid of the unavoidable weight fluctuations (water retention, bowel contents, ...)

I weigh daily, but only in the morning because I don't want to weigh myself when I still have food in my system. I wait till morning after I've digested. It's all personal preference. If you have a heavy meal that day, it may skew your numbers.

I generally don't like weighing that time of the month because of water retention and I find it discouraging even though I know it's just water weight.

I weigh every morning except when I am out of town because I only like to use my own scale. I use the toilet first, but I wear whatever clothes I slept in. As someone else said, it is the consistency that matters more than the details.

ETA: I also use Happy Scale and still weigh during my cycle.

Daily weigher here - only input the number into my trending app (Libra)
Only record once a month on MFP, if even. (in long term maintenance)

Daily for a more complete picture and less worry over ups and downs.

I weigh myself in the morning after using the toilet, wearing only underpants. Every day. I enter that number into the Happy Scale app for iPhone, which creates a gentle little graph that shows trends that are easy on the eye and don't freak me out if there's a weight gain for a day or two here and there. Here's something helpful: take your body measurements! Bust, waist, hips. Write 'em down. Then in a month or so, take 'em again and record them. Do that every month or two, and you'll also see what your progress is. You can also take some before/after photos every month or two. All three of these are helpful ways of checking progress. Have fun with it!
