how often do your weigh-in?

wow, the spreadsheet is a great idea! I just don't know how great I'd be at keeping up with it. That is def a Type A personality

Thanks very much, well appreciated compliment! If you made one, you'd keep up with it everyday I'm sure. One of the added benefits to the spreadsheet and weighing in everyday is that it becomes a part of your routine. You so badly want to see those numbers drop (and others go up) each week that it becomes an additional form of support/motivation on top of MFP.

I literally wake up in the morning, take a shower, weigh-in, and record in this spreadsheet. Every now and then I'll get curious about my measurements and that's when I'll do it.

I WI at home every morning and write it down
I officially WI every Friday morning at Weight Watcher meetings - this is the weight I will log in once a week to MFP

EVERY. DAY.

I record everything in a spreadsheet. This way I can see how my decisions effect my endeavors. Here's a screen cap to show you what I'm doing:


I only record the other physical attributes weekly. Sometimes every 2 weeks depending on how I feel. I've found that I'm much more pleased with the results if I take measurements bi-weekly instead. Pictures every 30-days (approximately). It helps you keep focus if you can physically see the changes. Looking at yourself everyday in the mirror doesn't help, but if you see the difference spread out by comparing month-by-month or week-by-week then you'll get addicted and push harder for greater results!

I love this!!!!

Every day. They say a person's weight can fluctuate by a couple of pounds every day, so I don't wanna just weigh in once a week and have that just happen to be one of those "fluctuating" days and not know where I really am. By weighing in every day, I've got a more steady, more accurate picture of where I am, and I don't find myself bothered by those occasional days where things fluctuate.

Exactly! That's what I do. You could also miss a low number that is encouraging if you don't check every day. There will be some up days too and you can ignore those when you see the down days along with it.

I weigh in every day, but only count one day a week (Sundays) as my "official" weigh-in. It's totally a personal choice, but it got me over my fear of the numbers to see the fluctuations every day. I also keep a spreadsheet (thank Lordy I didn't have to actually MAKE it! *lol*), but just for my own benefit so I can see an over-time gauge of whether I'm being consistent or not and help me analyze what might be "going wrong" if I'm fluctuating too much. (My spreadsheet keeps track of calories in, calories out, and weight, and calculates my daily deficit. It's helpful to see it in this format for consistency purposes.)

I weigh in everyday but I count it once a week. I feel like it keeps me on track if I know where I stand everyday.

It's also nice to see your numbers charted out (another reason why I use a spreadsheet):



The bottom half is a generic chart from BodyBuilding.com's BodySpace, I often refer to this chart as it's a much easier and aesthetically appealing in comparison.

Once a week for tracking purposes, but often more then that to see where I am at. As I start out AGAIN on this endeavour I promise myself that although weight loss is the ultimate goal, I won't focus too much on the numbers as long as I am feeling and looking better because muscle weighs more then fat! I choose Monday mornings to weigh in as it helps keep me honest over the weekend!

I try to do it only once a week on the same day at the same time, just after waking and using the restroom. But sometimes I sneak in a middle of the week weigh in, cuz I'm obsessed! lol

ditto!

That is so funny I do the same thing! It's not everyday though but I like to make it at least every week.

officially once a week, mondays, but i hopped on today. thinking i might add in fridays, but will only record mondays.

For the first two months I did what most folk are doing weighing often and posting once a week. I changed over time to posting on a Friday or Saturday as it was easier for me to be good during the week as work is crazy busy so I had the best results then.
I going to try to change that now and only weigh twice a month. I put on 2-5 pounds for the week around my period and while intellectually I know it's just fluid gain it messes with my head anyway. So I will weigh in before I put on the water weight as my second weigh in of the month and weigh in two weeks after that again. In between those two weeks I will take my measurements. I recommend that you take lots of measurements and not just the three suggested on the site. These always get smaller even when I was retaining fluid. Good luck to you:)

Like most of you have said, I too weight every day but only record my weight once a week. Every Monday, first thing in the morning, before I shower. I'm a little OCD when it comes to weighing every day....when I see big changes in the RIGHT direction, its awesome, but when I see no change or the wrong direction, its so disappointing. But I feel more in control to at least check it out every day. Good luck on your journey!

I've been weighing everyday and hate it...but can't stop. In some ways I feel like it holds me accountable for the previous day and sometimes it feels a bit obssesive.
