Hi guys,

Just wondering how often you weigh in. My wii says everyday but I hear that's bad and your better to do it once a week. So just wondering how often do you weight yourself?

    I weigh myself a few times a week but only pay attention to the overall picture week to week. Too many day to day fluctuations due to water, sodium, hard workouts,m TOM, etc.

    Twice a day. Every night when I get ready for bed (but I don't pay too much attention to that number as it fluctuates based on how much I had for dinner, liquid consumed, etc) and first thing in the morning before I get dressed. I find it keeps me motivated to either dig in harder if it rises or keep up the good work if it drops.

    I was weighing in twice a week before I stated MFP. The wii recommended to weigh yourself everyday so I think i'm gonna go with that before I eat anything.

    Goodluck everyone x

    I weigh in every day - right before i get into the shower. it keeps me motivated - if I've gained a pound, I know that I need to do better that day, if I've lost, it validates my choices from the day before and motivates me to continue to make good choices. I love to see the numbers drop!

    I weigh myself everyday as well. But count Friday as my official weigh in day.

    Before I fell pregnant it was once a week (Fridays) but at the minute it's not every often, less than once a month I'd say, probably been weighed 4 times since I fell preg and I'm 30 weeks!

    I used to weigh in once a week but now I weigh in every other day just to keep my eye on things. Good luck!

    I'm a scale *kitten*!! But it keeps me motivated!
    1-2 times a day...I weigh in the mornings...but sometimes jump on at night just to see the difference.

    Once a month at the gym - same scales for consistent reading. More than that, you fluctuate from day to day so not worth it

    I hear that once a week is optimal due to the fact that our weight fluctuates daily. I weigh myself far too frequently, but i try to limit myself to 3x a week max.

    Once a week - Wednesdays. I have a spreadsheet I made for myself with my "progress" for the next year and I enter my weight and measurements every week.

    Everyday, I like all the dots on the progress report going up and down. I can see a pattern in the wave and the wonderful downward trend.

    I "officially" weigh myself once a week on Wednesdays...but I actually step on the scale multiple times a day...its addictive! lol

    I usually weigh every 2 weeks. I feel like if I'm only losing a half pound a week, it would be more encouraging to see a whole pound come off!
