Today, I am opening with the perpetual debate, whether to weigh or not weigh. What relationship with the scale works for you?3 -

Now I weigh myself every day. Some ups and downs don't disturb me as long as downward tendency is there. But from the past I know that I avoided the scales when I knew that I am piling the kilos on as well as full-size mirror Then I was wondering how I could put extra 50 pounds even not "noticing" that.
3 yes day today. 30 minutes strength training.11 -
Sometimes I weigh every day, other times once every few days. All depends what I want to include in my tracking log for the day.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, a 60 minute BootCamp class, followed by a 1 hour and 40 minute trail walk. Hot and humid!
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yep
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep

I think it's important to weigh regularly regardless of what you are doing or your goals. How often depends on many things. Simply not weighing can only lead to uncaught weight or body changes you may not approve of until it's just too much too ignore any longer.
I currently weigh weekly on Sunday mornings right after waking up. I don't need to catch anything more quickly at this time as I'm still in the first half of large scale weight reduction using ketosis and intermittent fasting. As long as I stay in a caloric deficit and exercise the weight should (and is) going down. If I get stuck or things change in some undesired way it will need to be for a week or more before I will likely change the approach. So weekly is just fine for now.9 -

I weigh every morning. It removes so much frustration. I might be down 5 days in a row, up 2 days, and then down again. If I happen to only weigh on an “up” day, I get frustrated and wonder how that’s possible. Weighing every day I can see the direction the scale is taking despite a short term uptick. And now I have a confession (why do I feel like I’m admitting to being unfaithful?), I’m in another group that uses “true weight” which is some complicated algorithm that I don’t really understand. But it removes those weight swings, sort of an average but not.11

I weigh every morning and take a mean every 10 days. I find that removes the anxiety of the daily fluctuations. I use a spreadsheet, and the Happy Scale app.8 -

I do weigh in every single day. I have the Libra app (android) which is like the Happy Scale app. It shows that the "trend" is downward.
Today I walked into town on the bike path. I walked 6 miles in, went to Krogers and bought a pint of my favorite Rebel Triple chocolate ice cream and ate it before walking 6 miles back home!! This afternoon I had Mexican with my granddaughter for her birthday dinner. Her birthday was the day I was in the hospital having my appendix removed so we postponed until today! She's 21 weeks pregnant with my 3rd GREAT-GRANDBABY (Ivory Rose!) We had a terrific (Mexican) dinner and I brought half of it home so I wouldn't go over my calories! #win11 -
I try to limit stepping on the scale to every other or every 3rd or so morning. I tend to get compulsive so I am compulsive about not weighing compulsively. I only want to catch if I’m going in the wrong direction. I have a 5 pound spread so I average roughly in my head.
