How often do you weigh yourself?
Replies
-
Once a week. or at least I try to. I have a standing appointment every thursday morning before my shower.0
-
I'm an every morning weigher too - I know it's a bad habit but it makes me focus more I think. It feels like I'm doing something to acknowledge I'm on a diet0

hah wellll...
Every morning 1st thing
Every morning before i leave the house
Everyday when i get in from whatever i've been doing
Every night before i go to sleep.
Obsessed?..0 -
I weigh myself in clusters. Ie. I weigh myself one day, and maybe the following three days to see what i am averaging in that time frame. And then if i start to see physical change(every 2-3 weeks) i weigh myself in again. I'm more visual as opposed to the scale.0

Pretty much once a week, morning, before breakfast. I don't have one of those that's electronic, so it's more of a guess, I definitely can't see little weight fluctuations, only about a pound or more.0
-
I'm also guilty of weighing myself most mornings, but do a 'weigh in' on a Monday, which has been a kick in the teeth a few times when I've gained a pound over Sunday night!!
Am relieved to see lots of others check daily though :blushing:0 -
Every couple days, but I only log it once per week0
-
I refuse to weigh myself more than once a week because I know the daily fluctuations would drive me batty. I AM however, planning on investing in a digital scale, because the one I have now is hard to read.0
-
I check it almost every day, I don't obsess over it, I just want to monitor it. Then once a week is my official weigh in.0
-
I have to admit I weigh myself every morning after I wake up...
Yes, there are fluctuations but I'd only go all day thinking about it and end up doing at night after I've eaten all day and then seem a lot heavier lol.0 -
On good days, once.
On bad days twelve thousand, because obviously there is something wrong with the scale.
LOL! Love this! ^^^^^
I'm once week, Wednesdays. I don't have a scale (I would be on it a couple hundred times a day if I did own one) but I do use my wii fitplus. I found that is it is really accurate with the scale at the doctors office.0 -
I use to weigh every day and even though I know in my head that weight fluctuates I was hindering me. I now weigh in only on Friday morning before my workout. On some weeks I will weigh on Monday if I know I had a bad weekend.0

Once a week in the morning before I eat anything.0

I know weighing yourself is an individual thing, I am just curious as to how often people weight themselves... I heard it is not good to weigh yourself daily as you go up and down... once a week?
I don't own a scale so I weight myself every couple of weeks when I go visit my mom...
I NOW weigh Myself maybe every 2 months. I do this because I realized and accepted that weight loss is secondary to changing My Lifestyle around food. I also accepted that there is NO wt loss if I don't focus on what I eat, if I get that right, wt loss and maintenance is a Natural RESULT (of GOOD Eating Habits). So My focus is totally on What I eat, how it is prepared and Serving Size. This way I keep it simple and focused; also, I only have ONE goal around wt loss and it is a Range where I want to maintain the rest of My Life. When I get there is up to My Body, as I focus on eating right, a moderate exercise routine, and a Full Life of activities I enjoy doing>>>LIVING.
I have been where a scale dictated how I felt for a day or week... I could wake up feeling SUPER, and get on the scale and be 1 lb. over what I weighed the prior week, and ALL of My joy would go, for the whole day and week. And actually, it took My motivation and most times I would say the heck with it>>>THAT gave Me an EXCUSE to OVER EAT! NO MORE, NEVER AGAIN!
HEALTHY means WAYYYY more than a number on a scale. Everyone has to come to their own conclusions. I'm a HAPPY Camper NOW...My Focus is on LIFESTYLE = Working on The Fruit of The Spirit, Physical Health, Career and Social Goals.0 -
Every Morning, but only compare the Tuesday weigh-ins.0
-
i try at least once a week......if its a bad week i dont weigh haha0
-
I do every morning, but my weigh in day is Tuesday.0
-
I weigh myself every morning and log it in my notes. For me it is helpful to see the ebbs and flows day to day and find it a lot less frustrating then once a week. I only "check-in" my weight on MFP once a week.0
-
I weighed morning and evening when cut carbs and went gluten free just to see how much difference it made to fluctuating water weight and it only changed by 1 lb a day instead of 3-5 lbs.
At minute I have two weigh in's, saturday and wednesday for different challenges, once I get to target weight I'll probably just check it hasn't gone up too much once a week.0 -
I don't own a scale either.
So I weigh when I get to one of the gyms with a scale. I probably weigh myself more than I should. but I am just oh so curious!! LOL0
