How often do you weigh in?

I weigh in every day so I can chastise myself for eating that heavy pizza the night before and only exceeding my quota by 350 calories. I can then remind myself over the next 4 days why I shouldn't have eaten that way as I recover the ground I lost.0

I'm there with you. I can chastise myself for eating that heavy pizza the night before and only exceeding my quota by 350 calories. I can then remind myself over the next 4 days why I shouldn't have eaten that way as I recover the ground I lost.0

confession. I get on the scale each morning, after I pee. BUT I do not count if for anything...just as an observation....Wednesday's are my official weigh in day.0

I hop on the scale daily, but I only log my weight on Thursdays. I recently added strenght training, and now I'm concerned that I may put on muscle and not meet me weight loss goal. Thoughts?0

i weigh myself daily but usually only add it on tuesdays. if i lose more weight and puts me over a certain amount lost, i'll add it. i can't help but weigh myself. it's hard not to.0

i weight myself daily but only have mondays as my official log in day!
^^ This...except not Mondays. I'm obsessive about it and need daily accountability. i know all the pitfalls of weighing daily and understand how mych it flucuates...but I do it anyway.0 -
Once a week. I used to be a bi-weekly weigher0

Due to having a serious OCD issue with symmetry and numbers, I weigh every day, sometimes twice a day. It's nothing that ruins my Zen or anything. I just feel the need to check, check, and double check.0

I weigh myself every morning after I pee of course but I only log my weight on Mondays!0

Daily... keeps me accountable. I log every time the scale goes down... lol!0

I weigh in every Sunday morning BUT I do weigh myself on Wednesday morning just to make sure I'm on the right track or if I need to step it up before Sunday's weigh in. It's hard but now I'm in a routine that it looks the most if I wait where as if I do it everyday you don't notice much of a difference.0

I am going to wait for one month before I do an official weigh in that I log on MFP. I want to feel good, eat healthy and make long term changes rather than short term. I jump on the scale once in a while for an unofficial peak.0

Hang in there and don't be discouraged. You can do it.0

I weigh myself once a month.0

1x per week, first thing Saturday morning.0

I weigh almost daily in the morning, but only track on Mondays. I want to get out of the daily habit, which goes back years.0
-
Too often! Once a day lately, but I'm trying to discipline myself to once a week. :ohwell:

Once a month. Im trying not to care much about the scale. Its always wrong anyway. Lol
LOL Im on your team!0 -
I weigh in once a week- every Sunday. I wanted to do daily but I didn't want to see the fluctuations and be discouraged. Though I'm impatient come the end of the week, this is the best for me.0

Never. Go by my clothes.0

I weigh in most mornings. It has actually been less as I have been kind of stuck, and tired of watching it not move (not awful stuck, but took me 4 weeks to lose a lb, and then another 3 weeks to lose another...kind of like that). So, I have gotten out of the habit every morning, but once I am back on a losing streak, I will probably be back on it. I find it incredibly exciting and motivating to weigh daily. And I understand it will fluctuate, so it doesn't stress me out. (like I said- now that it just frustrates me, I have stopped the daily, but plan to resume when my body gets moving again ). I have my actual "weigh-in" on mondays.0

Every Tuesday0

In a study done by people who have lost 100 pounds or more and kept it off for years, they found these people weighed daily. So thats what I do. But I only pay attention to the low weight. With water weight you can go up as much as 5 pounds but keep doing what your doing and then you eventually loose fat (tissue). So daily I jump on and get excited when its low and ignore it when its high. So far I've lost 28 pounds dong this.0

Once a week. Same day. Same time.0

Plan was to weigh every Saturday morning, now dropped this to the first day of every month. Working fine for me.0
-
Daily. If it's down that's great, if it's up I try harder that day.0
-
I check my weight daily, but only log my weight on here once a week.0
-
I weigh myself every Friday, but sometimes I get so impatient that I do it on Thursday.
I know that if I have a cheat day or a day where I'll mess up, it's going to be on the weekend so I weigh myself after 5 days of good eating to try and cancel out whatever happened on the weekend.0 -
I weigh in every Sunday morning but I have been told not to worry about the scale and what it reads. Everyone knows muscle weighs more than fat so people try and tell me to go by the way I feel and how my clothes fit, which I get but I still need to number in my head once a week.0
