How often do you weigh?

Weekly would be fine. Understand that fluctuations are normal (both up&down ticks) but as long as the graph continues in an overall downward slope, you'll be fine

Every morning before shower (after gym session) It helps me keep track of progress or lack thereof

Yesterday was a Sodium overload 🧂 🧂

Today Counting grams with a hopefully better WI tomorrow

counting sodium for the rest of the week❤️

yesterday's daily nutrition goals were ALL met

I weigh daily- it helps me to see the ups and downs then I do a weekly average and chart that-- as long as its going down I am fine!

As others have said, I like to weigh myself every day. I have seen advice both for and against it. People argue against because they say you should not obsess over the ups and downs. I like to see my weight every day. When its good, it motivates me to keep going. When its bad, I need only look at my history for inspiration that it is short lived if I stay consistent with my routines.

I weigh daily but only really take the weekly average into consideration. I have tracked my daily weight for over 5 years and I have become accustomed to the extent of daily fluctuations.

I was also told to weigh weekly by a doctor but since it is an instantaneous value I don't think it is worth much because I can fluctuate by over 3 pounds daily. It is very demotivating when it appears I haven't lost weight over 1 week for me.

If I were to weigh my self less frequently than daily I would think it would make more sense to weigh monthly because I would be more likely to see a change. But weighing monthly would probably lead me to think I could be less strict with my counting!

So daily weighing is the right balance for me because I think a weekly average is a far better measure and keeps me motivated.

The frequency I weigh directly relates to my eating habits. If I am sticking to my calorie goals, I’ll weigh every day. If I haven’t weighed for weeks or months, it’s a warning sign that I’m off track.

Same. I'm pretty good at sticking with tracking what I eat daily, but if I stop weighing, that's a sign I need to check what I'm doing. Sometimes it is deliberate, like when I get back from a vacation I won't weigh for a week or so, to give travel water weight to go away and things to level back out. But, when I was dating someone new a while ago, I was avoiding weighing because I knew going out to eat more and working out less was having an effect, but also wanted to enjoy the new relationship. I ended up gaining about 8 lbs in about 4 months before getting things back on track (then he broke up with me a month after that and I started a new medication that killed my appetite for a couple weeks and I dropped 10 lbs in 3 weeks, but that is a whole separate issue).

Average Weekly Weigh-In
✔️ I released a pound 👋 🥾

Every morning, naked, after going to the bathroom, before ingesting anything...I find it removes the most variables possible and gives the best data for my scale app to build a trend line

I used to fret about weighing myself everyday. I lost the 50lbs I needed to lose. Then after that I calmed down a lot about the weight, my mind was not so anxious about the scales anymore. I weigh about once a week now. I am maintaining the weight, so all good. I stay concerned but just not letting it get me down.

Once a week usually, although some weeks I will sneak a peek in.
I was a everyday weigher although it didn't encourage me enough to lose

I have done the daily weighing thing in the past. I have also done weekly weighs, and daily weighs while only logging the weight once a week. All have been helpful (or not) depending on my state of mind at the time.

Currently, I am trying a monthly schedule for weighing. I am undecided on how well it will work over time, but I feel like it’s the best thing for me at this moment. I was having a lot of trouble with consistency past a week or two, and I feel like not weighing myself has been a bit of a relief. I can focus on the details of what I am doing rather than the results.

I used to do once a week or Monday and Friday. However last month, I had started doing it daily because of a challenge I was participating in...the reasoning that the challenge did so being that (supposedly) statistics showed that people who weighed daily were on average more successful than those who weighed weekly.

I can say that for the couple weeks I was doing that challenge, the daily morning weigh-in did greatly motivate me to stay on track the rest of the day. I might just stick to it.
