How often do you weigh yourself?

I, too, weigh once a week first thing in the morning. I don't think it is the actual number that matters, but just the fact that I am holding myself accountable.

Every Monday at 5 pm after work before i start my boot camp class.

I have been weighing daily, and EVERYDAY the scale has been down.

I weigh in once a week. Friday mornings. I wake up, do my morning routine and before I get in the shower I weigh myself. Didnt like what I saw this week however...oh well! Good luck

I do a weigh in once a week but for me the official weigh in is every other Saturday.

I weigh myself once a week first thing in the morning before any breakfast, coffee, etc.... usually 6:30am. I hadn't weighed myself in a very long time before I started getting back in shape because I knew I would obsess, too. Now, I weigh and go on with my day. There are weeks that I have some water weight that makes my loss/gain fluctuate, so I try not to worry about that. I have lost 15 total pounds since April 2 (I had a doc visit, so I knew how much I weighed!) and 10 of those pounds are since I started tracking food and exercise on here.

Good luck! Don't obsess. I know it's hard not to!

I used to weigh twice daily to see what how much it fluctuated eating certain foods but since after xmas I've only been losing a few extra pounds when water comes off after monthlies so I just weigh then and see what I'm down too as I know which foods make me put on the most water now.

each and every morning faithfully if it goes up it doesn't bother me . if it goes down it gives me the push to do better that day and i keep on getting results .:happy:

i weigh myself every morning... which is good for me i used to be addicted to the scale and weigh myself when i woke up, everytime i ate, and when i went to bed.... I only count my weigh in's on friday's.... its a good motivator. If mid week im not getting close to my weekly goal then I have time to pick up the pace

For someone to say they weigh themselves daily and the scale goes down every single time sounds unbelievable to me. Weight fluctuates so much and you can be obsessed with numbers. I suggest that you weigh yourself 1x a week at the same day and the same time and take your measurements. I am doing the Insanity tape and I am losing more inches then weight so that is important too as muscle weighs more than fat. It also depends on your personality - if it helps you to see the numbers go up and down then go for it but if it discourages you then I would not suggest it.

I used to weigh in weekly. But I heard on the news recently that, according to studies, people who weigh themselves every day lost more weight than those who weighed less often. I remembered I had heard that before so I thought I would give it a try. It works great for me, I think, because my expectations for one day are not as high as for a week. I get instant feedback and don't risk feeling like I failed for a whole week when I could have caught it sooner. Small tweaks and I'm back on track. Good luck!

Every morning.

Bed > Bathroom > Scale, every day.

I don't obsess over the number because I know it fluctuates a lot, but I like to know what it is.

depends on how i feel, but usually friday or saturday.
sometimes monday.

Every day, but I understand variations. Probably also depends on your scale's resolution and accuracy. I recenty changed to a digital scale, indicating 0.2# accuracy that actually seems pretty good. Of course morning weight will wiggle a bit, but overall there has been a very linear decrease in weight. Of course, I instantly gained 5# when I switched scales:(

Realize that losing 2# per week would be about a quarter lb a day which stresses the accuracy and repeatability of most scales. Only reason I see for not weighing every day is if you get freaked out by variations, and that is a personal problem.
