how often do you weight yourself?

I weigh myself once a week and I try to do it on the sameday and at the same time that is the best way to judge how you are doing.If you do it everyday you may have had a little extra salt that is causing you to retain water.

Never weighed myself, never will. I will not see my progress in a number.

I'm not at a fitness level yet to strap weights to myself.

I used to weigh myself once per week. Now, I weigh myself once per month.

I weigh myself almost daily but don't beat myself up over small fluctuations throughout the week. One thing I would recommend is weighing yourself at the same time everyday to keep things consistent.

used to be weekly, but that was too demoralizing. I bought a bf% tester (omron) and am using that instead from here on out!

I also weigh everyday. But I also noticed when I eat beef, in the evening for supper, the next day I weigh a litt more than the day before. I have also heard that it takes 2 days for the beef to leave your system. And i have noticed this to be true, so I try not to weigh myself the next day. Good luck, on your journey. :-}

I know your not supposed to but I usually do it daily Mon-Fri on the scale in the gym at my work. I like to see how what I did the day before affect the number.

Weekly. However, I'm trying not to pay so much attention to it anymore since I have been doing weights..

More or less, the scale is an instrument that can help you. I think it's more important how you feel physically/emotionally, and how your clothes fit. I remember losing weight, and always feelin good when I could drop another pants size.

Personally, I weigh myself daily. It has helped me to understand my body's fluctuations so that I don't get discouraged when it rises or refuses to fall -- I've noticed patterns based on what I eat and hormones, etc. Some folks do find that discouraging, but I like numbers and I like to see what makes them appear. :P

This is absolutely me too.

I weigh myself weekly, on the same day, around the same time. I recently read something that said not only should you weigh yourself, but you should also measure. Muscle weighs more than fat so if you are working out, you might have replaced some of that fat with muscle resulting in a higher number on the scale. BUT you might have lost inches. It makes sense and it might help you to not be so discouraged if you have worked really hard at working out and eating right, only to see that number on the scale go up.

I only weight myself once a week,same time,same scale.

My first week working out I gained 1 1/2 lbs. I was so disappointed. This week I am going to lose over 5 lbs. It took time for it to show on the scale. I only count my weekly weight at my weight loss meeting. I do sneak a peek at the scale several times a week, but I don't count them.

I weighted myself today and gained a pound, lol small amount yes. But I am generally not pleased. I feel like i've been working out all week I should have a tiny result.

So how often do you weight yourself? Should I box my scale away in order to avoid the temptation to weight myself at any given opportunity?

If you find that you are getting discouraged weighing everyday then stay away form the scale and do it once a week and see if that helps.

When I was at my thinnest, I would weigh myself all the time because I was proud of the weight I had lost and I was afraid of gaining it back. I felt like I was a little obsessed with the magic numbers and those numbers would affect my moods, so I stopped weighing myself all together. Guess what? I gained it back. I feel like I need to weigh myself whenever I feel the need.....I'm just not going to let those numbers control me. How my clothes fit is a much better judge of my progress.

Once a week, friday mornings, after I workout and go to the bathroom and right before I shower
