Howdy all.

So I being me have a habbit of jumping on the scale as it is available at work daily. I know in reality I should only be doing this once a week right? My weight can very by 3-4 pounds in a day which isnt a good motivator.:grumble:

How often do you weigh in and why?

    I weigh in daily (at the exact same time) just to see how things are doing but only gauge how I am doing by my weekly total.

    I am really bad for that too! I usually weigh myself up to 5 times a day because the scale is right there outside the bathroom.

    But I put it away and I am going to wait a week. :)

    I also weigh in daily, but for my 1pd. a week target I use my Sat. AM values (weekly). I find it helps to see the fluctuations. But I only weigh 1 time a day, at the same time.

    I weigh myself daily just because I am a curious person. However, I only enter my weight into the MFP system once a week on the same day and around the same time.

    i weigh in everyday at the same time. i only count it once a week on weigh in day as my weight can fluctuate, but its good as it keeps me on track. if it goes up a bit i know i need to be extra good and hopefully the next day it will show

    I weigh myself everyday. In the morning right after I wake up and use the washroom. It works for me, even though the weigh can fluctuate everyday, I find it gives me a good idea of how I am doing. Plus, when I only weigh myself once a week I end up taking two or three cheat days, saying I will make up for it at the end of the week. Never happens. lol.

    A lot of people do the once a week weigh-in, if you find the up and down to be demotivating, stick to just one day a week.

    I, too, am a compulsive weigher. Maybe twice a day. But I only record on MFP on my "official" weigh-in day: Sunday.

    I weigh myself every morning when I wake. I only record my weight on here on Thursdays.

    I weigh in once a week, Sunday morning.
    Weighing tends to make me crazy. If my weight is down, I celebrate by eating. If my weight is up, I sulk and eat.
    So just once a week, before breakfast, is best for me.
