How often do you weigh yourself?

I'm a scale *kitten*! If I don't like the numbers, it pushes me harder to workout.

I do the same thing....I think I'm actually scale ocd..... I do it ever time I'm in the bathroom. This has me really watching what I eat and how much I work out.... the few days I didn't do it that way I gained a few pounds. Guess I'm afraid of that happening again.....

For most people I would say once a week though. ( I only log my weight Monday mornings though.)

*joining the OCD crew*

I weigh every time i'm in the bathroom and near the scale just about. It is so bad, I even know how much to subtract for the clothes I wear. :laugh: :sad: :laugh:

Officially, I weigh every morning butterball naked before getting in the shower and after my first pee. I log it every day whether it is up or down as it helps me look back at my eating and see how the foods affected me. My official weigh in day for the week is Sunday mornings. That's the one I count for my challenge. It helps me keep on track this way, but I know it probably isn't the best. Whatevs. :laugh:

I weigh myself everyday and use a free app to monitor it called "monitor your weight"
I know my weight temporarily increases on weekend and that's mainly sodium (of snacks)
Logging daily and monitoring it helps me to co-relate it with exercises n all and I also don't freak out when I see little spikes.
On MFP, I log it weekly though :-)

When losing - Once a week.
On maintenance - 1-2 times per month.

Never had a set weigh in day, and didn't go near the scales when feeling fat or bloated!

Every freaking morning! Oh and I always double check that my keys are in my pocket before I lock my car doors and sometimes go back and make sure I locked it.

that's interesting i had a gain this mornign after losing my 2lb ( week one of mfp ) and i was so upset, will bear that in mind and not gobble lots of bread to cheer myself up and undo any good work :blushing:

I weigh myself every Sunday morning when I wake up. I find weighing myself everyday is doing too much and you get discouraged easily and fall off the wagon.

and, keeps me from eating crud late at night! I know I have to FACE the # in the AM!

I weigh myself everyday, just to keep track of where I'm at. But I only log my weigh ins on Sunday morning before doing anything else.

thats what I do, except it's every friday morning...I like weighing everday becasue I want to make sure I'm going in the right direction..if I notice a gain or no loss over a few days I change things up in my workout/ meals

I weigh myself every morning. I'm used to seeing the little fluctuations up and down, and I track the trend. As long as the overall trend is downward (which it has been) I can ignore the daily ups and downs. My official WW Online weigh in day is Monday, so whatever the scale says that morning is my official weight for the week.

Unlike some people, I actually find weighing daily to stop me being neurotic about the scale. Example - Last week, on Monday, I officially hadn't lost anything from the previous Monday. Except on Saturday and Sunday morning, I knew I'd been down a half a pound. Sunday night, I had a dinner with a lot of salt in it. So I knew I had lost, and was just retaining water. If I hadn't weighed myself Saturday and Sunday, I wouldn't have known that I actually did lose anything that week. Sure enough, Tuesday morning, I'd dropped the excess water weight.

I weigh myself once a week, but one thing I would recommend over weighing yourself would actually be to measure yourself instead. Weight is really hard to base your progress off of mostly because our weight is always fluctuating, as well as when you're exercising constantly, you're building muscle mass which may make you heavier on the scale but more fit and toned in person. It's always good to weigh yourself to keep you on track, but you shouldn't do it in excess as your weight changes so frequently and often it will just discourage you. By measuring your bust, waist and thighs regularly you're monitoring how much you've slimmed down rather than regulating your total mass. Just something to think about, but I'd definitely say regarding weighing yourself to do it no more than once or twice a week.

Glad you mentioned it because I thought about this after my post! That is super crucial in seeing results... you will lose inches with muscle ( and muscle burns more fat then no muscle while your sleeping even!)...

Sometimes I weigh myself before and after I pee because I sometimes can't believe how much I pee out. Last night, I peed 3 pounds O_O

I stepped on my scale this morning, stepped off, then stepped back on and lost 2 pounds. Two pounds lost in less than 2 seconds. I think that's a record. Or my scale's dead....Thus why I take averages.

I do it once a week. I sometimes weigh mid week just to see if I have lost anything. However, I did that this week and had stayed the same so I don't think I want to do that anymore. It just depressed me to see the number stay the same. So, Monday mornings, naked, after potty and before breakfast. That's what I do and so far so good!

Once a week on Monday mornings and before I workout. For ladies (sorry men) I have found that I often gain 3-5 lbs the week of my cycle and therefore I never weigh myself that week. I do tape measurements once a month.

Once a week , in the middle of the week. Usually, i tend to eat bad on the weekends. Gotta give your body time to adjust to intake of the food.

Everyday, but I understand it fluctuates so I don't get upset when it goes up a pound from the day before.
