Weighing In?

I like weighing myself monthly (: ... it helps me not obsess over the numbers, and just focus on what I'm doing. Numbers can be discouraging... if you aren't sure what you weigh, it makes you fight even harder so you'll like the number you see. You know? (:

I go a little crazy if I have to wait a whole week so I usually weigh in twice a week. Just remember that your weight can fluctuate a lot so weighing in too often doesn't really give you a clear picture.

I weigh myself every morning. Yeah, it fluctuates a lot, but I still think I get a clearer picture of what my weight is doing than if I did it once a week. If one day is unusually high, that's one thing, but if that one day is your weekly weigh in day, I'd think you'd be more concerned about it. JMHO

I weigh myself daily, but only officially log it once a week

I tend to weigh myself every morning when I'm getting dressed. Weight does flucuate so much, even throughout the day that I would almost swear the scale is the devil sometimes. I always try to convince myself that I should only weigh myself once a month and focus on the weekly measurments rather than the numbers but I never seem to be able to wait an entire week. I think that if I see the number going up then I can adjust my activity level accordingly,

This. My official day is Monday, since I figure I'll be my heaviest after a weekend.

Nice Camaro, btw! Love those things

Unofficially every morning, record it only on Saturdays. I find having the information very useful and it gives me a better sense of the general trend. I can respond more quickly to problems because it's easier to see them; if I weighed only once a week, it would take me several weeks to notice a trend. Also, it keeps me from getting upset at worse-than-expected results because I can tell what's going on. For example, if I weigh every day, I might notice that I'm down three pounds on Friday, but then retain water and not see the loss on my official weigh in on Saturday. Since I know Friday's number, I won't get upset because I know it's not that I didn't lose at all; if I only knew the Saturday number, I'd have no idea if it was water or if I'd actually lost nothing at all and would be upset with no obvious solution.

Daily, to see if my sodium intake affects water weight gain. I check-in if I lose weight but after logging a 3-4lb loss, I haven't lost any since so I'm sure I was dehydrated and now I'm depressed because I can't log a loss! I know it's silly but it bugs me. I've lost 32lbs since Jan. so I have nothing to complain about.

I weigh every am and every night. I find it interesting how much my weight fluctuates in a day.

I only record a lower weight after i've maintained it for a few days....

Monthly wouldn't motivate me enough. I try biweekly
I don't own a scale for that very reason. I would OCD and being a woman water weight can drive you batty!!
So I use my mother in laws scale
But it's old school and at 36 I'm starting to have a hard time reading it
So I use my gym scale too lol

Being that I calculate BMR/TDEE from real data (weigh-ins and cal in/out) and not formulas to estimate it, daily weigh ins are a necessity. I usually do it 2x-3x a day, but only keep the lowest. Google the Hackers Diet if you want to learn how to self-calculate your real BMR/TDEE number. Doing so gives you a much, much better understanding of what is going on with the scale.
