Do you weigh yourself everyday?

I was weighing every day and it was making me nuts so I had my bf hide the scale while I was at work. Haven't thought about it since and the urge to weigh is gone.

my doctor told me never ever weigh yourself every day. it is best to weigh yourself once a week in the morning before food on the same day every week. you fluctuate every day due to water ad food, and it leads to false readings. once a week or once a fortnight is just fine and is more accurate.

I weigh myself once a month, the scale is one thing, the mirror is a better indicator

I do weigh every day but I expect the fluctuations so I don't let it worry me... I just watch the trending figure and I've learnt that I will go up and down 200-300 grams each day but the number will trend downward over a week... I'll generally lose about 1kg a fortnight.

I do, but I'm trying to stop. It makes me more frustrated. Lately I try to eat something in the morning before I am tempted to step on the scale, that way I know the reading won't be right, so it kills the urge.

I weigh myself everyday and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, as long as you understand that you naturally fluctuate due to water retention and the like.

I am in no way an expert on these things so don't take my advice too seriously but if you want to do it everyday, then why not? It gives you an amazing picture of what your body does over time and I think really helps you understand how the food you eat really affects your body.

I am a bit of a geek and I just love numbers for some reason. Yes I go up and down, but since I started this I have gone down, way down further than I ever expected and I feel great!

Do whatever you feel comfortable with, everyone is different.

Just like other posters are saying - It makes no sense to weigh yourself everyday.
It might go up 1lb from yesterday then you would not be happy so you might go and eat something you shouldnt.
When really if you weighed yourself at the correct time each week or so then you will get a proper figure.

I strictly weigh myself fortnighly every friday before my Zumba class.
As usually ill be wearing the same sort of clothing, its the same time and its before the weekend when I tend to be a little naughty.
And its great as I really look forward to weighing myself because its been so long since I last weighed myself so I should always lose a few lbs!

You should try it :-)

Every day, first thing in the morning. It keeps me on track and reminds me of my goals.

Same here, I put the numbers into a phone app called "Libra" that does a weighted moving average.

If you're the sort of person who freaks out at a 1 oz move in the wrong direction then don't weigh daily.

I did it everyday until last week, and am trying to break the habit to just once a week. A friend suggested that I measure other things too such as waist and hip measurements, body fat and fitness levels rather than just weight, as this can be misleading. You are not the only one who wants to see results everyday, but from day to day you are more likely to fluctuate than anything else. Take care.

I weigh myself nearly every day, but only once a week under strictly controlled conditions: in the nude, after pee, and before breakfast. The rest of the time I just step on scale wearing whatever I happen to be wearing and whenever I think to do it. I know roughly what I should weigh, even dressed, and the inevitable fluctuations are easy to write off to differences in the weight of my clothing, etc. It's a good compromise for me - less stressful than having to resist temptation and a LOT less stressful than than making a serious effort to get the best possible reading every morning and not getting any consistency.

Nope, once a week on a Friday morning before brekkie

I do it every day in the am and don't stress out with the # as the scale is my friend, a guide and not the enemy

Hey

I try and weigh myself once a week in the morning on the same day to try and get as accurate a reading as possible

Good luck

I've just started and its so tempting to weigh myself after a few days but so far have been good. I'm also looking forward to my weekly weigh in as I know I Will have at least a couple of pounds and its more of an incentive to loose 2lb in one way-in than 1/4lb each day.

I weigh in every morning and log it as a food note. It actually stopped making me crazy because I could see the daily fluctuations and I love being able to go back and see the ups and downs. As long as you don't let it affect your moods and motivation it is helpful (in my opinion)
