Do you weigh yourself every day?

I do. But I've been told that you're supposed to weigh yourself once a week.

I find the daily check points motivate me.

    I did, but don't like stressing about every 10th of a pound every day. I kind of like the lead-up to weekly weigh in day. I know I've lost some. I can tell. but am eager to find out how much.

    Oh, no way! Once a week with spot checks if I want. Daily would drive me neurotic...

    I have always been told
    Weigh yourself once a week same time same day before dressing.
    Remember that once a month you may not have a loss
    Daily sounds a little toooo???
    When I started doing that I threw away the scales (and look what happened).

    I do every morning. It is nothing to be up or down 5/6 lbs day to day so I go by measurements more than the scale.

    Yep and I write it down too (but only record on here every week or two) , I like seeing numbers and I can pretty much predict what my weight will be the next day. I'm pretty steady so far with the weight loss.

    I weigh myself daily in the morning after relieving myself but before consuming anything, and without clothes. That gives me a good benchmark where I'm not up on weight from food consumed during the day or whatever. I also use a trending tracker (the hacker's diet website has a great one) which shows the trendline of my weight loss, and it's nicer and more accurate if I give it daily weigh-ins.

    Really, it's what works best for you. If daily weigh ins are best for you, go for it, just do it at the same time every day.

    I don't. I weigh once a week as a rule and might hop on every so often in between, but only log my weigh in once a week. :)

    No, only once a week. Same day, same time.

    I do that way if I find that the weight is going up I know to get back on track or do more exercise in. I only log it once a week, every Friday.

    Every morning and night. I am OCD and like constantly knowing what it is. Also, I have noticed most mornings I am 2lbs less than what I was the previous night.

    Overkill, probably, but I have done this for years and can not cut the habit.

    I weigh in daily at the same time right after i get up and before i get dressed. Weight fluctuates like crazy daily, but i like to have it in my chart so i can see the overall trend of my weight progression over longer periods of time.

    I weigh myself multiple times a day. It helps to keep me motivated. However, I don't stress out over the variations that I see.

    I weigh myself 3 times every morning. I weigh, move the scale, & repeat. If I see a loss, I need to be sure that it's real.

    I admit, I weigh myself every morning. I like to track how what I ate and how I exercised affects my weight. High sodium days makes me gain. Also, workouts that make my legs hurt also make me gain. But these gains are temporary, and I like to see that...

    I weigh myself several times a day just to see how my weight fluctuates throughout the day...I just find it interesting? I don't know..either way I'm not swayed by any daily "losses" or "gains" I know how many calories it actually takes to lose 1lb of fat so the scale doesn't really motivate or bum me out...I just go by how my clothes fit me.

    I pretty much do daily. But just once in the morning when I first get up.
