How Often do you weigh yourself?

I weigh myself daily. A cardiologist once told me to weigh every day to see how my body is reacting to different foods, exercises, etc. It is a great habit and keeps me from going UP too far on the days you "bounce" upwards.

I don't.
I have a hospital appointments once a month and they always weigh me so I use that.
That way it doesn't play on my mind all the time and I don't fret about it.
This is only going to work for me if it doesn't make me unhappy and I think knowing my weight all the time would have a negative effect on me.

Wow im surprised how often people weigh themselves...i do it once a week as i think id be obsessed with every gain or loss

I weigh every day. I tried weighing once a week but having a bad weigh in after a week made me feel much worse than watching it inch up over the course of a week. So I just decided to give in to my ocd tendencies.

Daily, and I've learned a few things by doing it that way. One is that after I have a heavy workout (800 calories or more), I will weigh more for 24 hours. I also measure bigger in my calves & thighs. I don't know if it's because the muscles need extra fluid to repair themselves or what but it helps me get through 'slow' times knowing it's from exercise. It is almost always gone within the 24 hrs. Also, I have to watch my sodium and it's taught me just how bad it is for my body after eating too much. The scale always goes up 2-3lbs after having fast food (even low cal) or 'diet' frozen dinners. If I drink a lot, that usually goes away by the next day.

I weigh everyday. It's ideal for me.

I don't weigh myself everyday to see weight loss results. I weigh myself everyday to learn how my body reacts to certain conditions.

It's been a great learning experience

This......I don't record my weight everyday but I watch to see how things affect it....like too much sodium, not eating enough net calories etc. I am learning a lot about my body and what it needs....it will forever be a learning process:)

Jump on the scales every morning to see where im going, but dont officially weigh myself til a Friday- on a health scale in Boots (drug store) to get a more specific reading and body fat % measurement

I weigh in everyday...Unless I know I was bad the day before (to avoid demotivation) then I'll skip that day.

Same here.

Every day! I always have a loss if I ate like I am supposed to and didn't splurge, even if I didn't exercise. It's just a good job to me kinda thing.

I am enrolled in a university weight loss study that is focused on lifelong maintenance of weight loss (I'll be called back in to have my weight, body fat %, waist size, and lipid profile measured on a yearly basis after the intial study period.) and they "strongly recommended" that we weigh ourselves daily for the rest of our lives. They want us to write down our weight everyday for the first 3-4 months. Their rationale is that you will learn your national fluctuations over time and then you will learn to recognize when you are truly experiencing weight gain and will get it under control immediately. That way you'll never end up creeping back up to your original weight.

All that said, I am weighing myself every morning before I jump in the shower...but I only record my weight every Monday morning. I have learned things like not to panic if the scale is a couple pounds higher the morning after a hard weight training session - it has just become clear that my body is going to hold onto a little extra water at that time so I don't panic about it.

Only when foreced. ie. Yearly physical, or sporatic work morning weigh ins because "everyone else is doing it".

So how are you tracking your progress?

I weigh every day. Well, except for this past week. I don't know why but the scale has been going up, even though I'm eating a reasonable amount and exercising. Sometimes it's just better to not look at the scale...

I was having the same problem a few weeks ago, and I found that even though I was under my calorie goal, my sodium levels were super high!! Drink more water and you should start to see those numbers going back down!!

I'll give it a shot! Why must all of my favorite foods be so salty?!

It's a conspiracy. My downfall is the combination of salty and chocolate. When you heat up chocolate syrup and pour it over warm popcorn, it's like heaven in a bowl hahaha. Not good for my hips but so yummy!!!

I weigh everyday. It's ideal for me.

I don't weigh myself everyday to see weight loss results. I weigh myself everyday to learn how my body reacts to certain conditions.

I started doing this to better understand how my body reacts to certain foods and my dietary changes.

Once a month or less... I don't want to get distracted by the noise of weighing more often than that... I also don't want to have a reason to beat myself up because I gained a pound or two... but if I weigh monthly, then I can still see a trend.
